Salesforce.org

Salesforce.org is the optimistic heart of Salesforce, operating at the intersection of nonprofit, education, philanthropy, and for-profit sectors. The billion-dollar business unit engaged our team in the creation of a new brand identity and narrative to instill trust with their audience and confidently define their position within the Salesforce ecosystem.

Brand Positioning

Salesforce.org needed a new and distinct voice & tone, brand positioning, pillars, and manifesto to not only clarify their mission and promise to the greater world, but to unify and empower their internal teams. We created a strategic brand platform that served as our foundation for how we speak, who we are, what we do, and why we exist.

Visual Brand Identity

To bring their new voice and narrative to life, we created a distinct brand system for Salesforce.org, appropriately in-line with the parent brand, but wholly their own. Although inextricably linked to Salesforce.com, our challenge was to humanize and mature Salesforce.org's brand identity as it amplifies real-world solutions to set it apart from the broader Salesforce ecosystem.

Shapes used to humanize Salesforce . org called the smile to champion individuals, the pattern to represent coming together and markmaking to communicate an open source laboratory and value process over perfection.

Brand Guidelines

Just as our verbal language reads differently from the parent brand’s, so does our visual language. We obsessed every element in Salesforce.org’s Brand Guidelines — logo, color, typography, photography & visual design elements — ultimately setting the Salesforce.org team up for success and inspiring their teams to take ownership of their new voice across every application.

Applying the new strategic brand mission, visual identity and voice and tone principles to real world scenarios enabled us to articulate the possibilities of a purposeful path forward. Today, you can begin to see this evolution of the brand across all of Salesforce.org's channels — helping communicate their brand's promise to the greater world.
