The Brief

One Darnley Road brought us in for what would become one of our most complex builds — a corporate platform that needed to serve investors, job seekers, partners, media, and sustainability-focused consumers. The information architecture alone was a challenge: multiple audience journeys, localized content for six European markets, and strict brand guidelines that left little room for interpretation.

The Build

We built on Next.js with Sanity as the content layer, implementing a sophisticated localization system that supports both translated and region-specific content. The editorial workflow allows the communications team to manage global content while regional teams handle market-specific updates.

Notable technical features:

• Real-time production data visualization
• Investor relations portal with document management
• Careers platform with Greenhouse integration
• Sustainability metrics dashboard
• Multi-region content with fallback chains

The motion design focused on visualizing energy and progress — subtle particle systems, flowing gradients, and data visualizations that make complex manufacturing processes accessible.

The Result

The platform launched across all six markets simultaneously, a first for the client. The CMS has scaled to support over 400 pages of content managed by a distributed team. ODR has since brought us three additional projects on the strength of this collaboration.
