Turning the universal morning ritual of a coffee into a campaign: now that you're awake, it's time to invest. With thousands of innovators, investors and early adopters attending Money20/20 Europe 2022 (the world's leading networking platform for the global money ecosystem), BUX transformed the kick-start of the day into a multi-layered brand experience aimed to raise awareness of the importance of investing in a playful and memorable way.

The activation expanded beyond the coffee cups, turning every touchpoint into an opportunity to engage attendees: branded t-shirts increased visibility, floor stencils guided foot traffic throughout the Rai Amsterdam venue and a social media component encouraged participants to share photos of their coffee cups on Instagram using #wakeupyoursavings and tagging @bux.zero - amplifying awareness and interaction across the fintech community. What started with a simple cup of coffee became a memorable experience that educated, entertained and inspired fintech professionals to think differently about investing.

A summit about what comes next: the room where AI would meet the future of mobility. Woven Capital is Toyota's growth-stage venture fund - the part of the business placing bets on what mobility becomes next. For its Global CEO Summit in Tokyo, the fund needed a cohesive event identity, built to meet high expectations on a short timeline: an identity that could hold its own in a room of founders, investors and Toyota leadership, all gathered around the same questions: what's next, what it means for the future of how the world moves and who is building it?

The brief came with a tension built in. Toyota carries one of the most recognisable brand systems in the world - decades of equity, rigour and rules. Woven Capital needed to honour all of it, while making clear it isn't a heritage play. It's the bet on what comes next.

A connected identity system was built - logo, palette, typography, texture and motion - designed to behave as one language across every surface the summit touched. Landing page, speaker cards, email signatures and print. Each piece had to feel like the same conversation, picked up mid-sentence. The strategic move was deciding where Toyota ended and Woven began. The system didn't sit on top of the main brand or besides it - it extended from it, towards the future. A system that earned its consistency from how rigorously it was built, not from how loud it was. Built once. Read fluently everywhere.

The system held the room. Across the landing page, speaker cards, print and signage, the same visual language carried the summit end to end, giving founders, investors and Toyota leadership one continuous experience to gather around. It positioned Woven Capital as a serious voice in the future of mobility - not a satellite of its parent brand, but its clearest expression of where the company is headed. Toyota's heritage stayed present without holding the room back, proof that what comes next can still speak fluently in the language of what came before.

The summit was built on three subjects we refused to let sit still - AI, the future, and mobility. Motion wasn't a layer of the identity, but the language it was written in. We built a language of forward motion - one that moved like it knew the way. An identity for a summit that wasn't asking if things were changing, but how fast and towards what. That dynamism held the connective tissue of the whole system, carrying the same logic across every format the summit touched.
