The Signal

The Signal's independent editorial model made it an ideal creative partner for tackling stories traditional media often overlooks. Together, we developed a series of print publications and public activations that translated complex geopolitical issues into accessible, highly visual storytelling.

A limited-edition newspaper asking a simple question: How much influence do authoritarian regimes already have inside democratic societies?

Extended the publication into a Washington, D.C. launch event that brought policymakers, journalists, academics, and researchers into the same conversation — turning editorial content into a live forum on kleptocracy and foreign influence.

How do you make kleptocracy fun?

We turned corruption into an interactive prop. Designed as the ultimate lobbying starter kit, the dossier included fake Cayman Islands boarding passes, congressional ID cards, and satirical "how-to" guides that exposed just how easily foreign governments can purchase political influence.

A fanzine-inspired magazine investigating how authoritarian regimes use football to build influence, launder reputations, and reshape global narratives.

Built for the overlooked intersection between football supporters and geopolitical readers, Shadow Play translates complex political influence into the language of the world's biggest sport.

• Syndicate investigations and stories through leading global publications.
• Create the first publication equally at home in football culture and foreign policy discourse.
• Shift authoritarian influence in football from a niche policy issue into mainstream sporting conversation.
