25 • Illustrations and Brand Identity
Illustrations are exercises in summary. The ability to take goals, proposed feelings, and aspirations into something visual that can be universally understood across languages and cultures is very challenging… how do people do it?
Klaviyo designers Charlie Coombs, Gui Schmitt, and Sam Beachell take a look behind the scenes and talk about the process and challenges of creating illustrations for branding purposes. We also highlight some of our favorite pieces of branded illustrations done by other companies. Getting visual on a podcast is not easy, so make sure to refer to the links below!

23 • Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2020 Extravaganza
For e-commerce centric companies like Klaviyo, Black Friday / Cyber Monday is considered a "Super Bowl type event".
How do we get ready for the big day?
Designers Adeniyi Sonoiki, Ally Hangartner, Bram Oosten, and Gui Schmitt chat about the importance of those days to our customers and how the reality of 2020 changed everything this year. We also talk about Klaviyo's culture for BFCM and, as the new year starts, some resolutions we have for 2021. 🤞
