RallyRally is a design studio dedicated to social change. We amplify the impact of forward-thinking organizations through creative strategy, branding, graphic design and digital.

We work across Canada, the United States and around the world to advance solutions to global challenges ranging from climate action to human rights advocacy to equitable urban planning. We believe that thoughtful design and communications can play an important role in creating a more just society. We rally around these causes with visionary changemakers and their communities.

Over the past decade, we have built a reputation as a leading creative agency working at the intersection of design and the public good. In 2021, RallyRally grew to become a part of Briteweb, a social impact agency and strategic partner specializing in branding, digital and marketing solutions for nonprofits, foundations and purpose-driven companies.

Our process

We immerse ourselves in your world and become an extension of your team. Our curiosity opens up dialogue and leads to insights that we use to establish a strategic foundation for the project.

We experiment, bringing to life visual expressions that respond to the opportunity from different approaches. We explore a range of design concepts then hone in on the direction that best tells your story.

3. Design Development

We dive deeper, evolving and refining the chosen design direction. We listen to your feedback and develop a strong visual system. We mind the details but never lose sight of the big picture.
