Game-changing Member Communications

The Energy Consortium (TEC) is a member-owned, not-for-profit buying organisation supporting members across the education sector to manage their energy estate assets - balancing cost, consumption, and carbon reduction.

Since 2018, we’ve partnered closely with TEC’s marketing team to shape and deliver engaging member communications. Each year, we design a suite of materials including Annual Reports, Benefits Statements, and Service Sheets ensuring complex information is communicated in a clear, consistent, and engaging way.

An Evolving Brand

To reflect TEC’s continued progress and forward momentum, we refine and reimagine the visual language of their communications each year. Rather than reinventing, we evolve, to maintain a brand that grows with the organisation.

A defined colour palette, clean typographic style, and bespoke iconography provide a consistent foundation, while thoughtful creative shifts ensure the materials continue to feel current and fresh.

Connecting with TEC People

Following TEC’s annual conference, event photography is integrated into the Annual Report to bring the organisation to life - capturing the team in action, sharing their latest insights, and demonstrating sector leadership. By placing real people at the heart of the communication design, the report reinforces TEC’s credibility, expertise, and ongoing commitment to delivering value for its members.

Each year, our team produces individual, personalised Benefits Statements for TEC’s 165 members, clearly communicating data specific to every member through a combination of creative design and meticulous technical detail.
