More than just an agency: – – a network of ethically minded creatives
2bu design isn’t a rigid agency team, but a growing network of like-minded people: designers, copywriters, photographers and developers, all of whom are vegan, sustainable or ethically minded. Anyone who works with us gets exactly the expertise their brand needs – and the values it should stand for.
History
Design and communication with heart and soul
Behind 2bu design is (Anja) Katrin Tindler-Kempen. Coming from an entrepreneurial background, self-employment was always a project close to my heart after completing my Masters in European Media. With a journalist for a mother and an industrial designer for a father, I was practically born with a love of aesthetic design and precise words.
In the course of my career, I have worked for well-known agencies such as MetaDesign, Publicis, frog design, GREY and milla&partner – operates as Designer, as Marketing Manager and most recently as Project Manager –, with renowned clients such as Siemens, GlaxoSmithKline, Audi and Henkel oversee. Designs created as part of these projects have won prestigious awards such as the Red Dot Award and the German Design Award honoured.
It is precisely this combination that lies at the heart of 2bu design today: anyone who understands how good design comes about, how marketing works and how to bring many minds together to create a successful project can coordinate creativity rather than having to shoulder it alone. Thanks to my many years’ experience both as a self-employed professional and in permanent roles at B2B and B2C sector I have a Broadly diversified network built on a foundation of reliable experts. Together, we aim to:
Using creativity as a force for good - supporting people and projects that are committed to animals, nature and humanity.
Mission
Marketing ethical projects and products fairly together
We know the trends, yet we create timeless branding and practise mindful marketing without sales pressure. We like sustainability and Authenticity and that is exactly what we want to pass on in the design of products and the creation of brands. Ethics and fairness are important to us both in the selection of our customers and in our collaboration.
We want to make the world a slightly better place every day. This is only possible with mindfulness towards the world and the people and animals that live in it.
Our mission is to shape clear, authentic brands based on core values. We support sensitive, values-driven individuals and organisations in bringing their ethos to the fore – through well-thought-out strategy, honest design and sustainable decisions. This results in brands with depth that resonate, build trust and have a lasting impact.
For vegan, vegetarian Catering and hospitality concepts with a sustainable approach we design brand identities that combine mindfulness, quality and experience.
For value-orientated founders, start-ups and small to medium-sized companies we develop strategically sound brands that grow healthily and survive in the long term.
For Coaches, therapists and holistic companions we develop sensitive brand identities that create trust, provide orientation and enable genuine connection.
For NGOs, animal shelters and social organisations we create credible brands that make visible what they stand for and motivate people to get involved
Vision
Sustainable branding for a value-orientated world
We believe in a world in which brands do not become louder, but more truthful. Our vision is to support value-oriented people and organisations in being visible with clarity, mindfulness and responsibility. This results in brands that create meaning, build trust and have a long-term positive impact on people, animals and the environment.
We strive for values to be lived and visible - through responsible design, honest communication and sustainable choices that respect people, animals and the environment. We want a world in which every action, every design and every brand arises from ethical convictions, has a positive impact and promotes trust, compassion and mindfulness.
