RAHEEM STERLING FOUNDATION

1692, The Raheem Sterling Foundation, is a powerful force for change, dedicated to empowering individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to break down barriers and unlock their full potential. Drawing inspiration from Raheem Sterling’s own journey from a challenging upbringing to football stardom, the foundation focuses on education as the starting point for personal development and social mobility.

The main challenge was to create a brand identity that reflects the foundation’s mission of empowering through education and aligns with Raheem’s personal story. The identity needed to resonate with a broad audience, inspiring participation and support while clearly communicating the foundation’s goals and values.

We developed a comprehensive brand identity for the foundation, encapsulating the essence of transformation and opportunity. This included designing a distinctive logo, internal documents, presentations, merchandise, and digital assets such as a website and app, all of which communicate the journey from education to empowerment. The brand guidelines and marketing collateral were crafted to ensure a consistent and impactful message. The launch campaign was uniquely tied to Raheem’s personal history, featuring an event at Ark Elvin Academy, his childhood school. Students participated in a symbolic “Power of 7” walk to Wembley Stadium, learning about Raheem’s life and the foundation’s vision, making the launch deeply personal and community-focused.

The branding and launch campaign successfully established The Raheem Sterling Foundation as a prominent advocate for education and empowerment. The event not only raised significant awareness but also engaged the local community and media, helping to solidify the foundation’s presence and influence. The comprehensive branding strategy ensured that the foundation’s message of breaking barriers and creating opportunities was clearly communicated and embraced, setting a strong foundation for future growth and impact.
