Leading Hand partnered The Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) to deliver on a number of reports and publications that transform complex information into engaging, accessible communication.
Summary
Over several years, we partnered with the AFGC to design three consecutive annual reports spanning 2018–2019, 2019–2020 and 2020–2021. We approached each edition as a distinct publication, developing its own cover concept and visual motif that carried throughout the interior pages. While every report maintained a unique identity, the series remained unified through a consistent standard of professionalism, clarity and alignment with the organisation’s broader brand presence.
For the National Plastics Recycling Scheme, we designed a prospectus that communicated a complex, future-focused initiative in a clear and engaging way. The publication centred around a suite of custom illustrations that established a cohesive visual language across the document, helping to explain systems, processes and outcomes with clarity. Combined with a vibrant colour palette and carefully structured infographics, the result was an accessible and contemporary publication that supported both comprehension and stakeholder engagement.
Prior to the National Plastics Recycling Scheme, we also developed a series of Food and Beverage Export Guides focused on key markets in Indonesia and China. Designed as a cohesive set, the guides shared a consistent visual framework while allowing for market-specific nuance. Each publication featured custom illustrations inspired by local grocery environments, grounding the content within its geographic context, alongside considered infographic systems and structured layouts. This ensured complex export information was communicated in a clear, visually engaging and highly accessible way across both markets.
A fantastic agency to work with that understands our brand an delivers great work efficiently.

Love the team at Leading Hand! I've been working with them in my capacity as Advocacy and Communications Manager at Community Legal Centres Australia since mid-2024. They've produced simple, effective branding for a major project, a new, streamlined brand identity we're about to rollout across our social media platforms and boosting our capacity to produce engaging video content to promote our work. The team's commitment to supporting for-purpose work make them a perfect fit for our organisation and we can see ourselves working with them for the foreseeable future.

Leading Hand Design – and especially Jake and Brett - were exceptional to work with. Jake took the time to truly understand the brief and brought the video series to life with incredible attention to detail. His customer service was brilliant: responsive, collaborative, and nothing was ever too much to ask. The editing process was smooth, thoughtful and delivered to a really high standard.
Highly recommend Leading Hand for anyone looking for creative, professional and reliable design and video production support.

Brett and the team at Leading Hand were great to work with. They listened to what we wanted and needed and created a great looking website for us that has the capability to do what we needed. They were easy to work with, and both creatively and technically innovative and trustworthy. I highly recommend them to anyone.

The team at the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre has been dealing with Leading Hand for a number of years and it's been a fantastic experience. Not only is their work first-class, but the designers are so efficient, patient and easy to work with. They always meet deadlines - including the last-minute ones we surprise them with - and their work is always of the same high standard. I would recommend them to any business, looking to put their best branding foot forward.
