Roots Radicals Crowdfunding Campaign

Branding Social media Marketing design

Overview

When the team at Roots Radicals decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign, they had a clear goal: raise 15,000€ to scale their production to supermarket standards and be able to sell their products there.

There was just one problem: there was almost no budget, and time was scarce.

The challenge

With only a few weeks to prepare, we needed to create a recognizable and engaging campaign identity that would work across social media. But there was another catch — since the team didn’t have in-house designers, the campaign visuals had to be something anyone could create and use effortlessly.

I also designed and printed flyers for Roots Radicals' canteen and market stall customers.

My role

Working closely with founder Monica and project manager Charlotte, my goal was to build a simple yet strong design guidelines that gave the campaign a cohesive look while being easy to use for non designers.

This meant bold colors, clear messaging, and flexible templates for Instagram posts and stories — so that the team could keep the momentum going without needing a designer for every update.

I designed easy-to-use guidelines available as a Figma file for every team member.

Design guidelines — nothing fancy, just simple and effective.

Outcome

Not only did Roots Radicals hit their goal, they smashed it. The campaign raised 22,000€, far exceeding expectations and giving the company the ability to expand even further.

Of course, this success wasn’t just about design. It was a team effort — great storytelling, community support, and a clear mission. All played a role.

But I like to think that a strong, accessible visual identity helped the campaign stand out, build trust, and ultimately bring more people on board.
