Wondering what we do and how we do it? Find answers to the most common questions about Rewire's work, expertise, and approach below.
We’re Rewire Design, a communications and design agency for social impact. We support NGOs and nonprofits working on social justice, human rights, and sustainable development, because these are the conversations that matter most.
Born in Spain and spread across Bangkok and Finland, we work hand-in-hand with NGOs, international organizations, nonprofits, and UN agencies to build strategic communications that don’t just get noticed, they get people moving.
From the first spark of a content strategy to the final pixel of a web design, we do it all. Our services cover brand development, multimedia production, and campaign management, which means our clients get one dedicated team that gets both the big picture and the fine details of complex social issues.
Our work spans some of the most important issues of our time: child protection, gender equality, climate action, disaster displacement, and sexual and reproductive health. Heavy topics, yes, but we believe that with the right creative approach, even the hardest conversations can spark real change.
Glad you asked! The short answer: we’ve been in the rooms where it happens. With over 60 years of combined experience in sustainable development and human rights, our team isn’t just creatively talented, we genuinely understand the world our clients work in.
Many of us have lived and worked inside NGOs, non profits and the UN system, with field experience spanning Afghanistan, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, Panama, South Sudan, Sudan, Thailand, and beyond. We don’t just design for these contexts, we know them.
But great experience means nothing without great process. That’s why we ground every creative decision in real audience research, digging into knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors to make sure campaigns actually land with the people they’re meant to reach.
Rewire provides end-to-end communication and design services for international development organizations, nonprofits, and NGOs.
We develop evidence-based strategic communications, combining audience research, behavioural insights, and campaign strategy so initiatives are clear, relevant, and effective. We create strong brand and visual identities, from comprehensive brand systems and guidelines to event branding and exhibition design, helping organizations communicate clearly across diverse global contexts.
Our team designs and builds digital products and platforms, including UX/UI design, websites, interactive tools, and microsites that prioritize accessibility and user experience. We also deliver high-quality creative production such as video, animation, graphic design, and illustration, alongside digital content and campaign delivery across social media and other channels, including multilingual adaptation and campaign toolkits for regional and country-level rollouts.
We support knowledge management through publication design, data visualization, and editorial support, translating complex information into engaging, accessible communications that support learning, advocacy, and decision-making.
Rewire has built long-term partnerships with leading international organizations, nonprofits, and global NGOs across multiple sectors.
Within the UN system, we have collaborated with UNICEF, UNFPA, UNDP, the World Health Organization, UNAIDS, the UN System Staff College, and UN Resident Coordinator Offices.
These partnerships have included campaigns, digital platforms, knowledge products, events, and strategic communication support.
We also work closely with leading international NGOs and research institutions, including the Norwegian Refugee Council, Plan International, Rutgers International, Oxfam International, CIVICUS, ECPAT International, Tampere University, and The Lancet.
We’ve delivered projects across over 20 countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, managing complex multi-stakeholder initiatives with headquarters, regional offices, and country teams.
Rewire has extensive experience developing communication strategies and campaigns addressing digital violence (also referred as technology-facilitated gender-based violence) and online violence against women and girls.
Across all digital violence work, our communications approach centers survivor-led narratives that shift blame away from victims. We ground our messaging in evidence, adapt content for diverse cultural contexts, and support coordination across government, civil society, and technology platforms. We have provided communications and design support in this area of work to nonprofits, NGOs, and international organizations.
We worked with UNFPA Asia-Pacific to develop ASEAN’s first comprehensive communications strategy on digital violence against women and girls. This initiative emerged from a multi-stakeholder workshop we designed and facilitated, bringing together over 40 stakeholders. The campaign was launched during the 16 Days of Activism in 2025.
We also partnered with Rutgers International on their landmark research report Decoding Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence: A Reality Check from Seven Countries, which examined TFGBV across Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda. We developed the visual identity for the report and a campaign with a suite of design materials to communicate the report’s key findings and recommendations.
Yes. Child protection is one of Rewire’s core areas of expertise. We’ve developed some of the sector’s most successful communications and advocacy campaigns on child sexual exploitation, child marriage, and harmful gender norms.
A flagship example is our long-term partnership with ECPAT International, the global network dedicated to ending child sexual exploitation and abuse. As a trusted creative partner, we supported multiple global initiatives that translate complex child protection concepts into accessible, action-oriented communications. «Call It What It Is» was a groundbreaking campaign that challenged the use of abuse-minimizing terminology such as “child pornography”. We transformed a technical knowledge product into a bold global campaign. With a strong visual identity, animated videos, infographics, and evergreen advocacy assets, the campaign became one of ECPAT’s most successful to date.
Other notable projects are #NeverTheirFault, a campaign confronting victim-blaming in cases of child sexual abuse, for which Rewire led the creative direction. We developed a unified visual identity for Collective Action, a global initiative delivered across multiple international events across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Additionally, we supported the production of four animated videos for the Global Boys Initiative, addressing harmful masculinity norms linked to boys’ vulnerability to abuse in West Africa.
We also collaborated with UNFPA Asia Pacific to develop a strategic social media campaign challenging child marriage. The campaign’s key visual concept focused on transforming cultural narratives by contrasting traditional sayings with empowering alternatives. Through striking design that physically struck through outdated gender norms and replaced them with messages promoting education and personal development, the campaign delivered powerful advocacy across digital platforms.
Our approach to child protection work prioritizes safeguarding, survivor-centred storytelling, and evidence-based messaging. We ensure communications are culturally sensitive and target a multi-audience of decision-makers, practitioners, and communities.
Rewire has significant experience in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) communications, working with leading organizations to break taboos, challenge harmful norms, and amplify youth voices. Our SRHR communications apply a youth-centred, rights-based, and evidence-driven approach, ensuring content resonates authentically with young people.
One of our central partnerships is with Rutgers International, for whom we have developed multiple global SRHR campaigns and publications. This includes The Heart of the Matter, a youth-driven report marking 30 years of the ICPD agreement and examining global progress on young people’s SRHR. Rewire led creative concept development through partner consultations, designed a bold visual identity and publication layout, produced executive summaries in three languages, and delivered a multimedia launch package including animations and social media assets.
We also created the brand identity for the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Academy with Rutgers. The design balanced a fun, modern aesthetic with clear educational purpose, shaping branding guides, social media templates, and video assets. Through course logos and 50+ learning materials, we helped create a welcoming and approachable space for young people to engage with sexuality education.
In addition, we partnered with Rutgers International to transform landmark research on barriers to safe abortion care in West and Central Africa into a powerful campaign. The Maze Women Face: Stuck Between Rights and Reality highlights findings showing that across the region, women’s lives are at risk because the right to safe abortion often exists only on paper — not in practice. Using the «maze» as a central visual metaphor, we turned complex data into clear storytelling and survivor-centred messaging, making invisible obstacles visible. The creative system was designed to engage diverse audiences, from policymakers to local communities, advocating for a future where every woman’s path leads to trust, dignity, and safe care.
Rewire has supported a range of SRHR initiatives across maternal, newborn, and youth health through communications and design for NGOs and nonprofits. For UNICEF, we developed the Pregnancy Milestone Newsletter series, crafting copy that translated medical information into supportive, universal messaging for expectant parents worldwide. We have also partnered with Tampere University and The Lancet to design branding and digital campaigns for evidence-based newborn survival interventions, making complex research accessible to global audiences.
For the Pacific SMILE project with the Burnet Institute, we developed a community-centred brand identity supporting midwives across Pacific Island countries in delivering high-quality care.
We also developed the brand identity for the Comprehensive Sexuality Education Academy, combining a fun, modern aesthetic with a strong and clearly defined educational purpose.
We support NGOs, nonprofits, and humanitarian organizations with communications and design across strategic communications, reporting, branding, and digital platforms related to disaster displacement and crisis response.
For the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), we led the design, infographics, and social media assets for the 2025 flagship report Countdown to 2030, a report mapping global disaster displacement trends across 210 countries and territories and providing evidence to inform policy and prevention efforts.
We have also partnered with the Norwegian Refugee Council to develop the Neglected Crisis Platform brand. Using a client-approved logo as our creative starting point, we crafted a complete brand identity that encompassed icons, colours, typography and patterns. The project included full website design and development, along with content creation tailored for clarity and impact. To ensure brand consistency, we designed templates for all essential materials—presentations, newsletters, letterhead and notebooks—creating a unified visual language across every touchpoint.
We provide communications and design support to NGOs, nonprofits, and environmental and development organisations, helping them communicate complex issues around sustainability, conservation, and biodiversity in a clear, engaging, and accessible way.
We developed a unified brand identity for the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystems Phase II project, a multi-partner initiative promoting marine conservation and sustainable fisheries across seven countries. We delivered a brand guide with a comprehensive suit of assets.
We also produced six animated videos for UN DESA promoting inclusive conservation and Indigenous Peoples’ rights. The project translated complex conservation challenges into accessible narratives while highlighting the vital role of Indigenous communities in protecting biodiversity. Through effective benchmarking and sensitive storytelling, we developed compelling animations that blended educational content with artistic visuals, sensitively communicating UN DESA’s mission for equitable and sustainable conservation.
Additionally, we partnered with UNICEF East Asia and Pacific Regional Office to deliver comprehensive branding and multimedia content for the Girls Go Green Summit 2024, using strategic visual storytelling to amplify girls’ voices and recommendations on environmental action across the region.
