Objective

AECOM’s 2020 Ireland Annual Review brought together survey findings and interviews addressing social impact, sustainability, investment and smarter infrastructure.

The creative challenge was to make a dense, evidence-led report feel authoritative and accessible, then extend its visual logic beyond the publication into a coherent launch campaign.

Creative response

The review was designed around five themes, each with a visual treatment capable of working as a report chapter, a standalone article and a social asset.

Publication design, information hierarchy and campaign content were developed as one system. Survey findings, long-form interviews and complex infrastructure themes could therefore sit together without the report becoming visually dense or institutional.

The system extended across the finished publication, digital content, social assets and launch materials for events in Belfast and Dublin.

Results

The completed Annual Review brought together 250 survey responses, six industry interviews and five themes. Its visual system extended across the publication, standalone articles, social assets and launch materials for events in Belfast and Dublin.

AECOM Ireland Annual Review 2020

The published edition is Foundations of Future Growth, AECOM's Ireland Annual Review 2020, following the previous year's Taking the Long View. It is built around three arguments: creating inclusive communities, delivering on high hopes for large-scale infrastructure, and unlocking smarter infrastructure, carried by named interviews with Vincent Harrison of Dublin Airport, Niall Gleeson of Irish Water and Trevor Anderson of Belfast Harbour on becoming more digitally enabled.
