Designing Confidence, Building Community

Iaculus embraced the opportunity to create a product and brand experience that was both powerful and emotionally resonant. We focused on designing a community-driven platform and handbook that felt invaluable right from the start. The visuals centered on WOC in powerful poses, illustrating them building the New York skyline—symbolizing the strength and unity of women shaping their world.

  • Handbook Design: We developed a captivating handbook filled with actionable tips and strategies to help WOC navigate corporate challenges, all while promoting confidence and personal growth.

  • Community Design: A space was designed where women could come together, share their stories, and support each other through their corporate journeys.

  • Brand Messaging: Clear, empowering messaging was created to emphasize confidence, growth, and the importance of community.

  • Growth Loops & Activation Strategy: We employed growth strategies and community building techniques to engage users and create lasting value, encouraging organic expansion through word-of-mouth and advocacy.
