A sustainability story
for a new generation.

The Children’s Place wanted to share a decade of sustainability progress in a way that resonated with both employees and a younger customer base—while finding a real, relatable way to be transparent in today’s environment. Together, we created a unifying messaging and visual platform that turned their complex ESG work into a clear, authentic, and inspiring story.

Tapping into a powerful truth.

Through our discovery process, we uncovered a simple truth that now lives at the heart of their messaging platform: like parenthood, sustainability is a journey where every step matters, and every bit of progress is worth celebrating.

Crafting their story, stitch by stitch.

From voice to visual identity, our creative platform “Protecting the future of our PLACE” connects seamlessly with TCP’s corporate brand while giving their ESG work a personality all its own: purposeful, joyful, and endlessly optimistic—with just the right dose of heart.

Progress over perfection

Making transparency a priority in a landscape brimming with skepticism.

An impact(ful) report.

We brought TCP’s new sustainability story to life in their next impact report. Building on our previous award-winning report design, we paired bold, uplifting headlines with clear data visualizations and playful imagery—making progress feel not only transparent, but approachable and celebratory.

The journey continues.

Backed by heartfelt messaging and a refreshed identity, TCP now has a sustainability storytelling platform that goes beyond progress reports—it sparks a culture of sustainability, one that grows right alongside 
their impact.

Building on success

The visual identity was an evolution of a previous award-winning report design, also created by JK.

Head meets heart

Functional messaging wrapped in joy, optimism, and playfulness.

“This year’s report is our best yet.”
