Creative commission: illustrative brief for Bordeaux & Burgundy

Today we are launching a new creative commission from international marketing agency Bordeaux & Burgundy. Founded in 2021, Bordeaux & Burgundy have made a name for themselves as a full-service marketing agency focussed on scaling B2B SaaS companies.

Bordeaux & Burgundy pride themselves on professionally delivering the solid foundations essential for successful B2B marketing campaigns. With these in place, their creativity allows their distinctive character and personality to shine, elevating their work beyond the ordinary.

However, consistently delivering creativity for their clients leaves little time to focus on representing their own brand. That’s why Bordeaux & Burgundy have partnered with us to connect them with a skilled illustrator to help define their aesthetic.

For this creative brief, Bordeaux & Burgundy are seeking an illustrative style that captures their professionalism and personality. This winning illustrative style will be paired with the photographic style outlined in their sister brief - be sure to review it for additional inspiration.

For a deeper sense of their aesthetic, visit the Bordeaux & Burgundy website and explore the existing colour palette and typography. They aim to build on this simplicity, incorporating clean geometric shapes and thoughtful use of negative space to convey meaning without losing clarity. The objective is to craft a versatile, refined visual identity that distinctly sets Bordeaux & Burgundy apart.

With a fee of £1500 this is exactly.ai’s largest creative commission to date and we encourage all your submissions. This is a fantastic opportunity to have your work showcased in global offices spanning from London to New York.

Moreover, our favourite models will be included in both a longlist and a shortlist, which will be published on the exactly.ai model marketplace for further monetized use by brands.

The specifics

We can only accept entries to creative commissions from models trained using your own images. Due to the specifics of this competition we cannot accept models trained using AI-generated images.

A winning style will have flexibility. The illustrations will be featured across a wide range of media: websites, socials, publications and even physical billboard advertisements.

Because of this, the model should be trained on the highest resolution training images to account for resizing.

For visual inspiration, take a look at the Bordeaux & Burgundy website. The style should take into account their colour palette and their clean, professional font.

Don’t let the name fool you, Bordeaux & Burgundy is not a wine company. They are a dynamic B2B marketing agency on a mission to stand out with a bold and distinctive photographic style that captures their unique personality.
