Nine Social
Social Influencer Marketing
The Challenge
Client Background
Nine Social is a social media production and digital marketing company, headquartered in Singapore with a distributed team from all over the world. With decades of combined experience in advertising and media, it is positioned to bring social influencer marketing to South East Asian markets. With its proprietary platform and network of always ready KOLs, it is designed for lightning fast turnarounds and shockingly precise impact.
Project Role
In the high-velocity world of social influencer marketing, speed is currency. The challenge was to visualize "shockingly precise impact" in a way that felt native to the frantic energy of social feeds.
We were brought in to create new brand identity for Nine Social that would communicate its ability to execute lightning-fast turnarounds without sacrificing quality.
Visual Cohesion
Operating with a distributed team across the globe, Nine Social faced the classic agency dilemma: maintaining a unified front. The new identity needed to serve as a digital flag, rallying remote creatives under a single, cohesive aesthetic that transcended borders and time zones.
Digital-First
Traditional corporate branding rules don't apply to the TikTok generation. We needed to ignore physical constraints and design an identity specifically for the RGB spectrum. The brand had to be flexible enough to overlay on diverse video content yet distinct enough to be instantly recognizable in a crowded Instagram story.
The Process
Strategic Alignment
We adopted a 'fast-twitch' design methodology, iterating rapidly to match the pace of the client's industry. The process prioritized motion and adaptability, ensuring every static asset had a clear kinetic potential.
Strategic Alignment
We identified that in the influencer market, precision beats volume. The visual strategy focused on the concept of the 'Bullseye'—targeting the exact right audience with the exact right message. This informed the sharp, geometric language of the identity.
Dynamic Typography
We selected a typeface that possessed both weight and velocity. The '9' isn't just a number; it's a glyph designed to feel like it's in motion. The typographic system uses aggressive scaling and tight tracking to create a sense of urgency and density, mimicking a busy social feed.
Vibrant Palette
To cut through the noise, we abandoned subtle pastels for a high-contrast, electric palette. The colors are chosen not for their print reproducibility, but for their RGB luminescence. They vibrate on screen, capturing attention in the split-second scroll of a user's thumb.
The Solution
The final brand identity acts as a social catalyst, amplifying the voices of creators and brands alike. It is a system built for speed, designed to scale, and engineered to make an impact in the blink of an eye.
A Social Catalyst
We created more than just a logo; we built a platform. The identity system frames content, highlights creators, and amplifies messages. It doesn't just sit on top of the content; it propels it forward.
Seamless Integration
The visual assets are designed to live natively within social platforms. From stickers to transitions, every element is optimized for vertical video and mobile interfaces. The brand feels like it was born in the feed.
Global Readiness
As Nine Social eyes expansion into the broader Southeast Asian market, the identity provides a robust, scalable framework. It is culturally adaptable yet consistently bold, ready to speak to diverse audiences across the region.
