RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Through market research, it was discovered the existing brand was dated and had a low brand reputation. The aim of the re-branding addressed this problem on two fronts:
1.B2B raising awareness and realigning the brand integrity
2.B2C as the company had never directly engaged the consumer, the integration and strategy of a new targeted campaign addressed areas of communication weakness. New areas of engagement were developed with higher profile communication strategy.
CHALLENGE: The most challenging part of the process was changing the internal perceptions from a B2B marketing campaign to a strategy of a customer-centric branding. The new brand needed to appeal to a wider costumer base and new and challenging markets through a new way to represent the products and to correct their brand reputation.
