TELUS Digital swag - Friendly future makers

Creative concept + copywritingdesign

Taking inspiration from TELUS’ new tagline “let’s make the future friendly”, I came up with the term “friendly future makers” as a label for TELUS Digital team members. This brought the tagline to life and made it ownable. The term was intended to remind team members that the work they were doing was making the world a better place.
