Make a foundation.

To be able to grow a business, you must form a solid strategic foundation. This is what Rooted is all about, embedding themselves into every client, learning deeply about their business and cultivating the perfect platform for their marketing strategy to grow. Through the narrative of ‘spreading roots’ we created a system that uses graphical blocks to build a strong interlocking pattern. One that can grow and shrink, move this way or that way, connect or disconnect – weaving itself through every design like Rooted weaves through every client.

A different feel for pharmaceutical
You’ve got to stand out to get noticed, so we leaned into our unique combination of nature and cognition. Actively avoiding what’s expected from the pharmaceutical industry and embracing what’s different.
