Family Hubs are centres which enhance integrated working by enabling easier access and better outcomes for families, more effective service delivery, and smarter use of budgets. The Family Hubs Network wants every community across the country to be able to enjoy their benefits and advocates for the spread of them by increasing awareness and sharing good practice.

What was needed?

The FHN came to us for design and typesetting support. Working to a tight timeline they needed an agency capable of working accurately at speed to produce a report which aligned with their brand guidelines and maximised engagement with its contents.

What did we deliver? 

Working to a tight timeline can be stressful; we sought to mitigate this with regular, open communication to assure the report’s authors that the deadline would be met.

This was a data-driven report, and our typesetting approach was shaped by that. For a full-page table measuring the family-friendliness of different countries, we developed a colour-coded sliding scale using the Family Hubs Network palette, this made a dense dataset scannable at a glance. Pull quotes were extracted from the body text and set with impact, and key examples were called out in branded orange boxes to draw the reader’s eye to the most significant content.

Throughout, we typeset the report to allow the text to flow cleanly, with consistent leading and spacing to support readability across a long-form document.
