KOSMOS | Empowering a data-driven brand for sustainable growth
KOSMOS | Building internal alignment through a digital-first brand system
KOSMOS, a global specialist in commercial and carbon management for the construction sector, partnered with Piquant to strengthen its brand foundations and digital presence. Through co-design workshops, staff surveys, and strategic collaboration, we developed a unified, future-ready brand system and strategy.
This collaborative process delivered a renewed sense of identity, purpose, and alignment across the organisation. The new digital-first brand system and motion identity enabled KOSMOS to communicate complex ideas with clarity, driving engagement and supporting sustainable growth.
Unifying purpose and presence
KOSMOS is a digital cost and carbon consultancy that uses data-driven methods to bring clarity and control to large-scale construction projects, helping clients manage cost, risk, and sustainability in tandem.
As KOSMOS expanded their operations, their brand struggled to reflect their innovative offering. The existing system lacked cohesion and scalability across digital channels, and internal teams needed a unified understanding of their shared purpose and identity.
Working closely with KOSMOS leadership and the wider team, Piquant saw an opportunity to use co-design to align the organisation from within. Through workshops, staff surveys, and brand audits, we identified KOSMOS’ unique position at the intersection of cost, carbon, and digital transformation, and translated this insight into a comprehensive brand strategy.
Digital-first brand system
We revitalised the KOSMOS brand system for digital channels, introducing a dynamic motion identity, a 2.5D illustration style, and an expanded natural-toned colour palette.
We also collaborated with the team to develop KOSMOS 2.0 — a strategic roadmap setting out the organisation’s future direction. To mark the launch and bring the strategy to life, we installed a series of augmented-reality posters in their offices in Copenhagen and Ireland, each visualising the three pillars of the new plan.
All of this work came together in a suite of engaging motion graphic videos, designed to communicate KOSMOS’s services with clarity and confidence using their refreshed brand system and motion identity.
Internal alignment delivery
This work re-established KOSMOS as an innovator at the forefront of intelligent cost and carbon control in the construction sector. The project delivered internal alignment, a unified strategy, and a digital-first brand system that empowers the organisation to communicate with clarity and lead sustainable innovation across the built environment.
