A snapshot of our projects.
Betterment
Betterment. A new, realistic approach and mindset to live better. Betterment is run by real people who help others succeed at improving their wellbeing in their own unique way and without the pressures to become their ‘best self'.
They required a strategy, tagline and strong visual brand presence to cut through the wellbeing ‘noise’ and not get lost in the sea of wellbeing offerings.

She also helped us build a website that really reflects our identity.”— Georges Khneysser, Founder, QBIT Capital

Australian Schools Plus

Since 2014, Schools Plus has raised $68 million, worked with 1500 schools and positively impacted over 500,000 children nationally.
Schools Plus is in the process of accelerating their marketing initiatives and required support with Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads. Forest Found facilitated two training workshops to educate the team on how best to use and maximise these platforms effectively, including a focus on keyword planning, setting up campaigns, creative recommendations and results analysis.

Waterfront Alliance
Waterfront Alliance is a US based nonprofit organisation with a growing coalition of more than 1,100 partners and shared goal: to bring about real change to the New York-New Jersey region’s waterways and 700+ miles of shoreline, and beyond on a national level.
The organisation required “direction, clarity and a clear message” to demonstrate that they are “much more than a convener”. One of their key challenges was connecting with the next generation, whom will be instrumental in advocating and supporting the organisation to drive its success long into the future.
Our process was deep and broad, including public brand perception research, staff engagement and multiple stakeholder workshops.
Deliverables: brand strategy, tagline
GoXPro (GXP)
Already established as a credible player in the fitness industry, GoXPro was ready for an energetic new brand and website upgrade to propel into a leadership role within the sector.
The new logo differentiates GXP, both with its vibrant and bold colour palette to stand out within the busy fitness brandscape, and by representing a shortened 'GXP' to extinguish any confusion with similarly named brands. Great consideration was given to the UX design for the new website to ensure the highest quality user experience for each of GoXPro's key audiences.
A highly detailed marketing strategy blueprint and go-to-market plan were also produced in line with the brand work.
Deliverables: brand strategy, logo/visual identity, website, content writing, marketing strategy, marketing materials, animations
Investment pitch decks (multiple clients)

Other work (with Grindstone)
Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA)
CERA required a brand narrative to generate more philanthropic income to support its world-leading research, and strengthen its presence and reputation with key stakeholder groups.
Their new tagline, ‘Hope in sight’, and complementing narrative symbolise positive ambition and instil faith.
Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority
The greatest challenge for the new Authority was to balance management of the liveability of local communities and enhancing the visitor experience, with its fundamental role of protecting the environment for the benefit of future generations.
Their new tagline, ‘Continue the story’, honours sharing the history, values, practices and lore of the Traditional Owners, and empowers present and future generations to collectively care for the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks.
GMHBA
GMHBA required a employer brand strategy and powerful Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to invigorate their positioning with existing and potential employees to answer the question: “Why should I work for your company instead of somewhere else?”
After a challenging pandemic in which life experiences have been less than remarkable for most of us, their new tagline, ‘Rediscover remarkable’, weaves in one of their brand values and offers a powerful career promise at GMHBA.
"A clear strategy is the crucial foundation of a smart brand that audiences connect with, trust, advocate, and buy from." — Sophie Aghdami
