Event branding & multi-channel design

Datavant, a leader in healthcare data exchange, needed to rapidly elevate its executive event branding across multiple touchpoints for its Executive Advisory Council (EAC) offsite. As a health technology event design engagement, this required updating and refining existing materials into a scalable event branding system capable of supporting both immediate needs and future events.
The SketchDeck team was required to move quickly as a fast-turnaround design agency—building a cohesive, executive-ready experience across print, executive presentation design, and digital environments—while maintaining strict brand consistency for a high-stakes leadership audience. At the same time, the team had to adapt to an evolving scope, a large volume of deliverables, and multiple workstreams developing in parallel.
The SketchDeck team partnered with Datavant to create a unified multi-channel design system built to perform across every channel. Working within a two-week timeline, we quickly aligned through a focused discovery process and established a clear visual and structural direction early on, enabling rapid execution of event design without unnecessary rework.
As the project evolved, the creative direction shifted from a standalone event identity to a system rooted in Datavant’s core brand. This allowed all outputs—from invitations and environmental and wayfinding design to executive presentations and motion-driven digital signage—to feel consistent, intentional, and aligned. Multiple designers worked in parallel within this system, ensuring speed while maintaining visual integrity across a high volume of assets.
A key component of the work was translating abstract ideas into tangible decisions. Using the client’s “luxury” reference as a starting point, we developed an elevated concept focused on premium execution and format innovation. By structuring the creative approach around clearly defined directions, we enabled stronger alignment across stakeholders, accelerated approvals, and met client expectations for an executive-level corporate event design experience.
The final multi-channel design system delivers a cohesive, executive-level experience across print, presentation, and digital touchpoints, showcasing SketchDeck’s ability to rapidly execute complex corporate event design projects at scale without compromising quality. The work strengthened brand consistency, improved stakeholder confidence, and enabled the Datavant team to present a unified visual system under tight timelines.
By establishing a strong foundation early, the SketchDeck team increased output, reduced iteration cycles, and maintained alignment across all deliverables. The success of the initial engagement also significantly expanded the scope, growing from a single rapid event design project into an ongoing partnership supporting additional events and long-term planning.
The result is a scalable event branding system that extends beyond a single moment, supporting future experiences while reinforcing Datavant’s brand as unified, thoughtful, and premium. For health technology companies navigating high-stakes leadership events, it demonstrates what a fast-turnaround design agency can deliver when process and creative direction are tightly aligned from day one.
