Nalaβs Bold New Campaign
When we design brands we often envisage how they may position themselves as a disruptor, and create meaningful change within an industry / category. The best of those brands continue to disrupt and create change long after we've done our work - Nala is a great example of that. With their latest campaign "Sorry to offend you" they are tackling public breastfeeding and celebrating motherhood - and once again disrupting a category. We can't wait to see more!
