From London to New York to Singapore, Storyfolk has competed with the world’s leading creative agencies, proudly showcasing Australian design on the global stage. We are thrilled to have earned both Gold and Silver at the 2024 BETTER FUTURE WILD Design Awards, celebrating both our achievements and the significant impact of Australian design worldwide.

At Storyfolk, we pride ourselves on being a spirited and passionate independent agency. We’re a bit like Jerry Maguire’s iconic line, “I’m going to take my one client, and we’re gonna go all the way.” We’re selective with our clients, but once they’re on board, we’re all in. They know we’re committed to their success.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve represented Australian design on the international stage, walking away with GOLD and SILVER awards at the 2024 Global BETTER FUTURE WILD Design Awards. We have even been invited to the official award ceremony in Reykjavík, Iceland… which we can not even believe!  These awards celebrate the bravery and creativity of clients and designers worldwide. It’s our first time being recognised at this level, and we have to say, it’s an incredible feeling.

BETTER FUTURE is the world’s largest network of design award programs, considering over 115,000 projects, 9,000 brands, and 2,900 studios and agencies. As the BETTER FUTURE Awards state, “We come together to innovate, accelerate, and grow demand for design.” As an independent, women-owned consultancy, standing on top of design excellence with WILD Design is truly an honour… and we’re pinching ourselves.

This achievement isn’t just about the awards; it’s about the journey, the creativity, and the impact we strive to make with our clients. We’re excited for what’s next and grateful for our clients’ trust in us. Thank you for allowing us to create something remarkable.

Celebrating Global Recognition

The following projects have allowed us this amazing opportunity, and we couldn’t be any more grateful for having clients who trust us to bring new ideas to the table and position them in a way that has both market cut-through and something a little special embedded in each project.  

The following projects have been recognised at a global level:

The Power of Trust and Collaboration

The success of our journey with OpenGalactic and Kuranga Native Nursery is only possible because of strong alignment with our clients, trust, collaboration, and the depth of knowledge we acquire to truly understand their needs. We connect strategy to design by authentically believing in our clients’ visions and investing wholeheartedly in their success.

Our clients see how we translate their vision into tangible outcomes, and together, we dare to push boundaries and create a lasting impact that resonates within their industries and beyond. This trust forms the foundation for refreshingly different ideas to flourish, driving us to elevate brands and forge enduring professional friendships. As always, we can’t do what we love without your trust, so thank you so much.

OpenGalactic: Leading Australian SpaceTech

A huge thank you to Aiden, the team from OpenGalactic, and Saber Astronautics for trusting us with the Australian SpaceTech platform OpenGalactic. This project was literally “out-of-this-world” and took home GOLD in the Tech Branding category, a highly competitive field both in Australia and globally. OpenGalactic’s open-source platform revolutionises space technology through collaboration, uniting researchers, engineers, programmers, and entrepreneurs globally. It has supported real-world missions and saved millions in R&D, notably powering the successful launch of BlueWalker3, thus advancing the global space economy.

Kuranga Native Nursery: A Flourishing Identity for Australia’s Largest Native Nursery

We’d also like to thank Alexa and Ben from Kuranga for allowing us to bring their passion for Australian natives to life through illustration and typography. This project earned SILVER for Illustration and Typography, highlighting everyday beauty. We revitalised Kuranga Native Nursery’s brand identity to appeal to new plant lovers while honouring its 40-year legacy. The new brand presents Kuranga as a distinctive destination for urban dwellers seeking a unique experience, transforming it into a sought-after destination.

Looking Ahead

We are inspired by our accomplishments and recognition, competing with industry giants and having our work celebrated. This success only fuels our passion to continue making meaningful work and doing what we love.

We look forward to collaborating with brands and organisations that aspire to lead with innovation and make a meaningful impact in their sectors and the world. Together, we will continue turning clients into professional friendships, celebrating more success stories, and always channeling our inner Jerry Maguire ethos to take our clients to the top.

Thank you for following our journey and reading this post. Watch this space, as we feel our best work is yet to come.
