Build Together Program for Bunnings Trade

Designing a brand system that supports stronger trade relationships

The Challenge: Turning a transactional relationship into a loyal community.

Bunnings Trade had long-standing relationships with a wide network of suppliers, but those relationships were largely built around logistics and transactions. While the trust was there, the sense of unity wasn’t. The potential to foster something greater, a supplier community anchored in shared goals, support, and mutual growth was untapped.

The Build Together Supplier Support Program presented the perfect vehicle to shift this dynamic. More than just a benefits initiative, it was designed to champion partnership, recognition, and collaboration. But to land with impact, it needed a brand identity that could do more than inform; it had to inspire. The challenge was creating a B2B supplier engagement brand identity system that delivered warmth, clarity, and credibility across diverse suppliers..

The Solution: Building a brand suppliers can belong to.

Partnering with Bunch, I brought the creative direction to life across a suite of assets that helped define and amplify the Build Together Supplier Support Program. From crafting a strong visual identity to designing adaptable templates, the work ensured brand consistency while offering enough flexibility to suit various suppliers and campaign touchpoints. The creative wasn’t just polished, it was purposeful. We worked to make the program feel more like a shared banner than a top-down initiative, something suppliers could see themselves in and rally behind.

The design system was thoughtfully applied across printed collateral, presentation decks, internal communications, and digital formats, creating a unified and accessible look that spoke directly to its trade audience. Throughout the process, clarity and functionality were prioritised without sacrificing creativity, ensuring the program looked as strong as the value it delivered.
