The challenge

Grow an international community around a fintech and blockchain product, with continuous content in two languages for people who arrive not knowing what this is.

The insight

The community has two audiences who don't want the same thing: outsiders need someone to explain what this is; insiders want to see their own name in big letters.

The idea

One system for both audiences. The only thing that changes is who the piece is looking at.

The system

The blue, the orbit of dots and the marked corners repeat across every piece. With that fixed, an invitation, a recognition post or a notice reads as UNITY before anyone reads a word, in Spanish or in English.

Live streams and invitations

Every live stream has its banner with speakers, topic and time zones: the community is spread across several countries, and the time is the first thing they look for.

Recognition

The insiders: a fixed template where only the name, the rank and the tone change.

Community and events

The system notices and the Punta Cana summit, with its qualifying deadline, share the same language as the daily feed.

Social media: feed and stories

Discord, Telegram and X. Some of the images —faces, scenes and posts— were generated with AI within the same system, when the piece had no source photo.
