We were commissioned to develop an advertising campaign for PitchIn, a project that tackles microplastic pollution caused by 3G sports pitches. The scope of this project included the design of a poster and information sheet.
We began by exploring concepts for the campaign through sketching, mind mapping and copywriting. This led to the creation of a clear and succinct headline and strapline that quickly communicate PitchIn’s core message, emphasising its urgency.
With the aim of appealing to a broad demographic, the powerful and engaging visual style combines bold and impactful typography with a vivid magenta hue. The poster was designed to stand out on fences and gates beside pitches and amongst other promotional materials in sports facilities.
To visualise the pollution caused by 3G pitches, we created a unique graphic device from shapes that resemble rubber granules. Their density and the way they disperse, uncontrollably, depicts the magnitude of this issue. Central to the composition of the poster, we used negative space to reveal the headline. We also subtly incorporated dynamic photography of a football player. This is reminiscent of sports advertising and illustrates the human impact on microplastic pollution, resonating with the campaigns target audience.
Designed in line with the poster, the information sheet provides a detailed overview of the campaign. To condense and simplify the content, we created clean, linear infographics and iconography. We used typographic hierarchy, colour and geometric shapes to highlight important facts, statistics and call to actions and methodically guide the reader through the resource.

We’ve had loads of coverage for the recent report today and hoping to get more across the week. Also a huge thanks again for your work on the branding and templates generally. Working the report up using the Citizens Advice Scotland report template didn’t take me long at all and we’re so very happy with how it looks!”
