Wolfspeed
The problem:
Wolfspeed invented silicon carbide and supplies a large share of the world's output, but the market still saw them as a component vendor rather than the company making the next era of energy possible. Five audiences needed convincing at once, and each wanted something different: customers wanted proof of execution, investors wanted scale, policymakers wanted green credibility, and employees and STEM talent wanted a reason to care.
The idea:
The Power To Make It Real. Every ambition worth having in this space eventually hits the same question: "Does the technology exist yet to pull it off?" We reframed Wolfspeed from a chip supplier to the trailblazers making their clients' ideas a reality.

The creative:
Our design language came out of the fabs themselves. We dove into the SiC and fab process to build a system that felt as structured, automated, and alive as the facilities we scouted, emphasizing a visual narrative of beautiful elemental micro moments blooming into their macro impacts.

The result:
Our work helped support a major proposed $750M CHIPS Act grant announcement with coordinated media, social, investor relations, and public affairs activity. Wolfspeed's team said the work was "key to the positive impact" of the announcement, described the press coverage as "superb," and said the message resonated across key stakeholder groups.
