The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) enhances the competitiveness and employability of workers and jobseekers by helping them adapt to a changing economy.

WDA also supports the growth of Singapore industries by building a pipeline of competent workers through the constant upgrading of workers' skills and raising industrial performance standards.

In 2008, WDA established an Institute for Adult Learning (IAL) which is a national centre that will ensure a high quality of adult training practices and research amongst the adult educators.

Acacia was tasked to develop the branding for IAL which, although operating under the auspices of WDA, will have the profile of a separate, autonomous organisation with its own identity, mission and vision – operating within its unique competitive landscape.

With growing emphasis on corporate environmental-consciousness, this decade-old national packaging award receives more entries for the “Environmentally Sustainable
Packaging” category this year.

Amidst strong competition, the Acacia team managed to pick up the award for the 5th time running. This time for packaging and POP created for one of South Africa's most established brands CRAKGON.

The point of sale display stand, in particular, utilizes an innovative structural concept, which allows multiple units to be quickly disassembled, safely packed for transportation and easily re-assembled at its destination. This allows for large quantities of the Display to be safely packed for transportation and re-assembled for re-use at various retail outlets, reducing wastage.

The Acacia team has won the award before for clients such as Asia Pacific Breweries, Eu Yan Sang, Summer's Eve and New Moon.
