Extreme Makeover
Pregnate works with Live Council in rethinking health promotion.
A global vision
Live Council brings together a diverse council of industry experts from Melbourne and around the world with the goal of rethinking the way health is promoted through the use of new media.
This assembly engages the issues of health and well-being from first principles - by empowering the public with infomation and tools, lobbying big business and government, and shaping the cultural landscape around health.
Our role
Pregnate was engaged very early on in the process to work with and as part of the leadership team.
We led brand development, communication strategy and delivered a suite of cross-media tools (web, print, PR) for the first phase of lobbying support, facilitating stakeholder engagement and capital raising.
We are currently working with Live Council to roll out the brand in China through Live China - the first of many country/community specific projects.
Naming
The name Live Council draws from two narratives.
Firstly, live as in realtime - a current message, a dynamic medium and live audience.
Secondly, live as in living, life and live-ability.
Naming process
Speaking to the world, real-time
Having experimented with early ideas of global and its amorphic qualities, we consolidated the design conversation into one which we felt was much simpler and far more pertinent - the proposition of speaking to the world and the forms that such conversations took.
We then took a readily familar convention for speech and quite simply customised it. In doing so, we designed a container that could be filled with conversations.

Building the media components.
Pregnate helped develop a media package that included stationery, a suite of prospectuses and a website for the project.
We are currently working with Live Council to develop a Hero Ambassador program to rally the support of sports, culture and media identities for the project.
