Joseph Foundation – Maisel Quarter

Brand Strategy, Design and Communication

For the Maisel quarter

Order situation

The Joseph Foundation commissioned 2be die markenmacher to develop a comprehensive brand foundation for the new neighborhood on the historic Maisel site in Bamberg. The goal was to create a brand identity that brings the project’s social, sustainable, and inclusive values to life.

Project order

As a partner for brand development and communication, we implemented the following for the project on the Maisel site in Bamberg:

  • Interactive workshops on target audience analysis and brand positioning
  • Concept development with visual mockups to create a clear vision
  • Further development and refinement of the logo
  • Business cards
  • Creative promotional materials (including an original stone from the Maiselviertel neighborhood, limited-edition popcorn bags, and flyers)
  • On-site Marketing (Construction fence and site banners)
  • Trade fair presence

Result

The result? A strong, consistent brand identity that authentically reflects the transformation of the historic brewery site into a vibrant, forward-looking neighborhood.

Through collaborative workshops, strategic concept development, and impactful design, a distinct brand identity has emerged. Each element tells the story of the Maiselviertel and evokes emotion, recognition, and curiosity.
