For International Women’s Day 2021 and the theme #ChooseToChallenge, we reached out to women in our community to creatively challenge them to think deeply about their own unique identities. We simply asked the question ‘What object reflects your identity as a woman?’

After an international pitch process, Sail were selected as the agency to lead brand and creative for global movement IWeigh, an activist platform founded by Jameela Jamil. Since working with Sail, the movement has grown on social media from 600,000 followers to 1.2 million.

Sail were commissioned to work with TWAM (Tyne and Wear Archive and Museums) as branding and campaign partner for a 2 year project looking at new ways to connect local womxn and their stories with heritage. Focusing on a community-led programme, we identified positioning and strategy that was audience informed. The results were 600+ engagements, 70 events and 700,000 website sessions, as well as a shortlist for Museum Association ‘Museums Change Lives’ Award.

Curious is an annual festival of immersive queer arts and culture. Partnering with BALTIC, Northern Stage and Sage Gateshead, Sail helped define national positioning, brand strategy, identity and engagement. Since working with Sail, live audience has increased by 333%, as well as securing an Arts Council Award, furthering national recognition.

Mode Politik create products to support those with physical impairments who struggle with conventional techniques such as buttons and zips. We were asked to create an impactful brand identity to showcase a high-quality product that had this purpose.

We were approached to work with Scarlett Women and Tyne and Wear Museums to produce a special 2019 edition of their feminist zine, to support recent research which looks at what has changed over the past 35 years (and what hasn’t).
