Designed for Discovery

Keystone Symposia sits at the forefront of scientific discovery. The challenge wasn’t credibility. It was expression. How do you communicate complex, global, research-driven work in a way that feels inviting, relevant, and alive—without oversimplifying the science? ANEWBrand partnered with Keystone to clarify a single, unifying idea that could translate rigor into resonance and invite people into discovery rather than overwhelm them.

Industry

Science / Research / Global Convening

Challenge

Making complex science feel accessible without diluting rigor

Solution

Brand Strategy & Positioning, Campaign Development, Creative Direction, Messaging, Toolkit Creation

Objectives

We aligned with Keystone Symposia to define clear goals for the engagement:

Establish a unifying idea that could hold complex, multidisciplinary science
Reframe Keystone as an active environment for discovery, not just a convening body
Create a campaign system that invites curiosity and participation
Build flexible tools that scale across programs, audiences, and moments

Strategic Insight

The challenge wasn’t a lack of information. It was the need for a clearer idea. Through strategy and positioning work, we identified an opportunity to shift how Keystone’s role was understood—away from outcomes alone and toward the experience of discovery itself.

The Idea

Designed for Discovery became the campaign platform and strategic lens. More than a line, it reframed Keystone as a place where science, people, and ideas are intentionally brought together to create breakthrough moments. Discovery wasn’t treated as a result. It was treated as the experience. This shift gave Keystone a platform that could stretch across audiences, disciplines, and touchpoints without losing meaning.

Campaign System

We translated the idea into a campaign designed to meet people where discovery actually happens. The system balances rigor with accessibility and invites engagement rather than intimidation. It includes a clear campaign concept rooted in curiosity, messaging that speaks to scientists at every career stage, and visual and verbal cues that spark interest and connection. Built to live across digital, experiential, and program touchpoints, the system supports Keystone’s global reach while maintaining clarity and cohesion.
