HELBUS, Helsinki School of Business, is a private business school offering internationally accredited BA and MBA degrees, taught in English by a global faculty. Competing for students against publicly funded universities at home and business schools abroad,

HELBUS needed a brand that makes ambition the reason to apply. We positioned HELBUS as "The Breakthrough Accelerator": not just an educator, but a partner in turning potential into progress.

The verbal identity speaks as an empowering ally: confident, catalytic and human, backed by a messaging framework for students, parents and employers. The visual system is built around The Frame, a graphic device that puts people at the centre of every layout, paired with a dark green and lime palette and motion-led brand imagery. The work was delivered as a complete bilingual brand book in English and Finnish.
