Looking back at 2020
As the holiday season is upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and those who have helped to shape our business through a pandemic.
Before we look back at some of the highlights of the past year, we’d like to acknowledge the turbulence of 2020 and thank our team, our stakeholders and our community for their continued support through one of the toughest years the world has seen.
Go1 rebrand – a fresh new look
To commemorate five years of Go1, we decided to work with the award winning organisation Design Studio to take a look at our brand and ensure it reflected our rapid growth and culture.
Design Studio has worked with Air BnB, Oberlo, Hello Fresh and many more reputable brands, so we knew we would be in great hands. With two awards for the design of the rebrand (Bronze at the Transform awards for best education brand, and Distinction (gold) at AGDA for illustration), we are excited to see where it can take us! Our teams collaborated for the below result:
‘”The new brand identity feels like home. It provides us with a new ability to reflect our personality and capability in everything that we do, not constrained by the past. Our rapid growth into new customer areas, markets and products means that we can now reflect that diversity of offering simply and effectively.”
Layla Foord, VP of Product
