STANDARD BANK CONNECTION WORKSHOP

THE BRIEF

We teamed up with 2 Stories to create an internal communications experience for Standard Bank.

THE BRIEF

Turnconversations about global creativity, internal comms and the future of AI at work into something sensory.

THE RESULT

The overarching theme was connection. We translated this into a physical language using string as a core decorative element – threaded through every touchpoint of the day, linking spaces, moments and interactions. A simple material, used deliberately, became a quiet but constant reminder of how ideas, people and systems intertwine.

When you turn ideas into experiences, you create space for connection, curiosity and collaboration in a way content alone can’t.

For the lunch, we designed an interactive menu:
SALAD: A Study in Connection
Breaded whole chicken
Whole lettuce heads
Vine tomatoes
Parmesan wedges
Connected cucumbers
Pain d'épi
Caesar dressing

Participants had to disconnect the connected elements to create their lunch — a deconstructed salad inspired by the elements of a chicken Caesar.

Alongside the menu, Juwan Beyers and Studio H hosted a collaborative cookie-making workshop, while Hannerie led an interactive food-play exercise, that included sonic seasoning tastings and some of South Africa’s favourite treats reimagined as jello shots (think jello rusks, cream soda float and Hertzoggies).
