Forty Years of Mission

Made Visible

Forty Years of Mission, Made Visible

Client:

IsDB Institute & sister institutions.

The Mandate:

A decade of craft for the IsDB Group, from the Institute to ICD and IsDB itself.

The Context

For nearly five decades, the IsDB Group has fostered economic development and social progress across 57 member countries and Muslim communities worldwide — guided by Islamic principles and a uniquely non-political mandate to advance human dignity through development. Behind every grant, every initiative, every annual report sits the same challenge: how to communicate the weight of multilateral development work without flattening it into institutional jargon. Since 2017, we’ve been working alongside the IsDB Group — its Institute, its private-sector arm ICD, and the Bank itself — to answer that question, project after project.

Our Approach

Across seven years and three IsDB Group entities, our work has spanned editorial design, video production, and strategic copy. We’ve partnered closely with the IsDB Institute’s research and communication teams to turn dense findings into publications that get read; with ICD to bring private-sector development stories to life on screen; and with the Group on flagship moments — annual meetings, prize launches, milestone celebrations. Each project demanded its own register. Each shared the same commitment: making the Group’s mission visible, in its own voice.

Deliverables

  • Annual report design for IsDB Institute
  • Celebrating IsDB Institute at 40 — anniversary report and milestone video
  • Book design for IsDB Institute research publications and working papers
  • Promotional and explainer films for the IsDB Prize for Impactful Achievement in Islamic Economics
  • Multi-language video content (Arabic, English, French) for IsDB Group Annual Meeting
  • Report-to-video adaptations: turning IsDB Institute research into accessible films
  • Enabling Enterprises — copy writing and video creation for ICD's private-sector campaign
  • Editorial and strategic communication support across IsDB, ICD, and IsDB Institute
