Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people who take injustice personally. When Amnesty launches human rights campaigns, Teal Media creates the campaign visuals that bring each fight for justice to life online. As Amnesty’s creative partner, Teal regularly pushes to expand their visual brand—beyond yellow and black—with new styles, colors, and animations that communicate Amnesty’s message in an inclusive, captivating, and engaging way.

Trust in Action

Collaboration and trust is critical in a strong creative partnership. This foundation allows Teal to push the creative boundaries of our work. We are not afraid to
experiment and iterate to showcase the bravery of Amnesty’s work.

And others are taking note.

In 2022, we won Silver in the prestigious 2022 Anthem Awards for our collective efforts in driving awareness through human and civil rights campaigns.

Critical Campaigns

Mobilizing volunteers and activists for coordinated campaigns are at the heart of Amnesty’s fight for human rights. One example of this is our campaign for Clemency for Leonard Peltier. Together with Amnesty, we issued calls-to-action for human rights supporters to use their collective power to urge President Biden to free Leonard Peltier, who has been imprisoned for more than 50 years.

SPECIAL EVENTS

  • For the past several years, Teal has provided branding and design support for Amnesty’s premiere event – the Annual General Meeting (AGM). AGM 2023 was the first time since COVID that the Amnesty community was able to to come together in an in-person setting. Teal needed to reflect that moment in the look-and-feel for the event. We needed to convey the energy of Amnesty volunteers and activists and exude a spirit of togetherness and coming home.

    The visual identity we developed for AGM23 is rooted in the concept of activation—much like a neon sign being turned on and its brightness fills the room. We doubled down on this concept with a neon-esque color palette and simple geometric shapes that resemble neon art. In addition to the overall brand for the event, Teal created the conference swag, signage, and take-away materials.

    Amnesty knows they can’t be successful or accomplish their mission without the support of their volunteers and activists. That’s why our evergreen brand-building campaigns show their faces, raise their voices, share their words, and highlight their victories.

    In addition to building Amnesty’s brand, creating campaigns, and supporting events, Teal produces everything from protest signs, action toolkits for partners, donor support cards, custom illustrations, the swaggiest of swag, and more.

    Bottom line: Teal is in lock-step with our partners at Amnesty, always ready to tell the next story, build the next movement, and
    transform online energy into offline action.

    We are 100% committed to our partnership with Amnesty and the fight for justice everywhere.
