Social Sphere helps the people side of big projects make sense. They work with resource, renewable and infrastructure teams on social impact assessments, community benefit agreements, stakeholder engagement, and the plans that sit around getting a project approved. Chris Mahoney, Dr Jillian Ash and Brent Sweeney have spent years in regional and remote communities. Their site needed to feel like that experience, not like a template with the name swapped in.
We came in for three things: a new logo and brand, the website, and some custom images.
A mark that feels like the name
The name does a lot of the work. A sphere is a domain, the human relationships around a project, not a decoration. We designed a mark that sits happily on a light page and reverses out when the background goes dark, then used it so the logo, type and graphics feel like they belong together.
A site you can scan
The website is easy to move through if you are a project team in a hurry. The home page says it in one line: technical insight, genuine engagement, better outcomes. After that, the work is listed in plain language. Assessments, agreements, management plans, engagement, human rights due diligence, workforce and accommodation analysis, and closure and transition. Services, about and team experience each have a page. If you want to talk, there is a phone number and a short form. No maze.
Pictures made for this practice
The images were made for this site, not pulled from a library. Director portraits and a few supporting graphics sit with the copy, so the people and the brand feel like the same practice. That matters for a firm whose whole job is trust.
What you get is a site that explains what Social Sphere does and makes the next conversation easy. Brand, website and images, done as one piece of work.
