A team brand, a merch shop and a tour hub, in three weeks
The Drop Bears are an Australian beach handball team that tours Europe's biggest beach championships, with players joining from Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands.
Handball is home turf for us: Manon represented Australia in the sport herself.
Industry: Sports team
Work: Branding, website design and development, e-commerce merch shop, social media

The starting point: a team scattered across the world.
The project brought players from around the world together to compete in the best beach handball championships in Europe. A team like that needs one home online: somewhere fans can follow the tour, sponsors can see the story, and supporters can buy the jersey.
It all had to be ready before the season started. Branding, website, shop and socials: three weeks, start to finish.
What the work covers
Branding for a
team with personality
Bold, sandy, unmistakably Australian
We developed the brand from scratch for a team that doesn't take itself too seriously but plays like it does: a drop bear on the crest and a look built for the sand.
A website that sells
the jersey
Merch shop + tour hub in one
The site is an e-commerce platform for team gear and the home of the tour: the roster, the tournament schedule and where the team plays next, so fans always know where to look.
Social media,
built and running
Visibility across continents
We built the team's social media presence alongside the site, keeping fans, families and sponsors across three continents in the loop during the European tour.
