In today’s business climate, John Deere’s customers demand proof points. Sustainability is a top-of-mind initiative for this multinational corporation and this report would bring to light the great work the company is doing on several fronts on behalf of customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, shareholders, and communities around the globe. Secondarily, it needed to demonstrate that Deere views Sustainability in many ways beyond Environmental.
The ornate detail of layered cut paper inspired the illustrations and iconography used throughout the report. We also introduced the use of a gradient – yellow to green – to communicate a sense of movement and energy through color.
For photography, FUEL art directed and captured lifestyle imagery in multiple locations. The catalog of images would emphasize humanity and reinforce the notion that while the company sells machines and technology, it’s done in service of people.
FUEL helped the client develop a series of snackable content suited for social media. Leveraging attention-grabbing motion graphics, the series of posts taught key points about John Deere’s initiatives.
