Cloak & Dagger

Cath — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:13:22 +0000

Christopher Doyle and Jefton Sungkar created this cool branding for recruiter Chantal Manning-Knight, which is an unusual take on the traditional concept of recruiting.

“We thought why not reposition her business in a way that not only presents her skills, experience and passion for people, but also addresses the need for absolute secrecy and discretion. Addressing the standard hurdles of changing jobs – secret meetings, awkward phone calls and absolute discretion – we avoided all reference to recruitment whatsoever. Instead we created Cloak & Dagger: online emporium of coats and knives (and jobs).”
