Challenges

Company got sold and has now a new owner

The new owner of Merkurist has some different views about how the company’s direction should be. These new values should be communicated through the new design.

Lost their online community

Due to legal settlements their social media channels got erased and they lost all their followers. They had around 15K followers and had been innactive for around 3 months due to the company selling.

Need of a modern look to attract younger readers

Since Merkurist is starting a new chapter they want to have a renewed look to make a great comback, yet somehow mantain their old image so that loyal readers can still recognize its them.

Strategy

  • Analyse the former image and online community Merkurist had.
  • Rebuild their new image for a great comeback.
  • Create a new color palette which attracts attention for new readers and make a comeback in their social media channels.

Help Merkurist get back on their feet and make a great comeback.

Solution

I added some new shiny colors to their former color palette and decided to mantain their old logo since many people recognized the Merkurist team thanks to this. I supported them to create a marketing campaign which involved the creation of print and digital media, creating content for their social media channels and making a promotion video.

Benefits

Successful marketing campaign

The “Merkuretter” Campaign was live for about 4 weeks and it accomplish the money goal they were expecting. This success was of course not only thanks to the design actions, but it contributed in a big way.

Former clients returned and new clients were gained

Many clients that used to support Merkurist knew that they were back thanks to all the social media presence and decided to support them again. New clients were also acquired during this process.

Slowly regained their online community & still growing

Merkurist has gained back their only community day-by-day. Today they already have above 10K followers in their Instagram and keep on growing everyday. They have a wide resonance and their new brand is starting to get well-known.

Challenges

Company expanded to 3 new areas

Glasny expanded their services and now they had not just one area but three different ones.

Reesctructure and name change

Glasny gave a new name to each new area and didn’t know how to communicate this to their clients without confusing them.

Company's initial branding was almost 5 years old

Glasny already had a branding, but this was the very first image created back then when the company was just starting. Many things had changed.

Strategy

  • Analyse the biggest changes in the company restructure and how to communicate these properly.
  • Redefine which platforms are the most important where Glasny's branding will be present on.
  • Create a new design for Glasny as a whole and the other Glasny areas that adapts better to the current company's mission and vision.

Give Glasny’s new areas a unique personality but maintain Glasny’s look as the main brand.

Solution

I used the already existing color palette, though I changed the brightness of some colors to give them more power. I mixed the colors in pairs and created that way 3 different areas with a very clear distinction.

Services provided:

• Brand Strategy Workshop

• Corporate Identity (Logo, Color Palette, CI Guide, etc)

Benefits

Instant brand recognition among competition

Glasny has a very unique design among the children psychology centers in Monterrey, MX. It is easy to recognize among all others.

Clear communication to their clients

Clients of glasny understand that there is a company restructure and know in which direction it’s going. They’re not lost and confusion is unusual.

Up-to-date image with current company's values

After many years of constant growth, it’s just normal that the initial branding doesn’t apply anymore to the current company’s state. This redesigned identity communicates better Glasny’s vision and mission!

“Working with Alexa in this project as a Brand Expert was a very pleasant experience. We put our minds together and with very different design-perspectives, we created the best result possible for The Hackathon Company's new branding.”
Ebru Balci
Ebru BalciGraphic Designer

Challenges

No consistency/ No brand recognition

Since there was not a specific design-line followed, clients didn’t recognize nor remembered the company’s name nor the brand in general.

Aiming the wrong target group

This company has two different target groups: 1. Managing Directors of big companies, 2. Students/ Under-grads. Their image was not speaking to both these groups but just one.

Services not clear

They were struggling to define which services they offered and define if “sub-brands” were needed or everything would be part of the “mother-brand”.

Strategy

  • Analyse the current state of the brand and try to find the pain points where there's no consistency/ harmony.
  • Redefine the values and emotions the company wants to communicate.
  • Create a new brand identity that covers all services and sub-brands and that shows a consistency on all platforms and media.

Establish a brand consistency and harmony across all platforms.

Solution

I created a short but powerful color palette that communicates the company’s values. Redefined the order and hierarchy of the services, and created a mother brand and sub-brands accordingly.

Services provided:

• Corporate Identity Creation (Logo, Color Palette, CI Guide, etc)

• Website Design

Benefits

A clear design-line

The new branding was succesfully applied to their website and all their other social media. There’s a clear harmony and recognition now.

More applicants for their recruiting events

The new website and social media attracted more applicants to be part of their hackathons. The applicants are a key piece in their business modell.

Gaining more leads

Having many applications of IT-personal is proof of success and this fact attracted therefore more companies as clients as well.

Challenges

Not taken seriously

Clients often didn’t take her services seriously or didn’t fully trust them. Her digital prescence lacked professionalism. 

Esoteric image

People had a strong esoteric/ guru perception of Daniela, eventhough she is a highly specialized consultant.

Current color palette doesn't reflect her personality

As many other solopreneurs, the colors she had didn’t reflect the services and values she actually offered.

Strategy

  • Analyse the current pain points of her website, and everything that has to do with her branding.
  • Rediscover which emotions she wants her business to communicate and to whom exactly.
  • Create a new brand identity that represents her and that her customers can trust since day one.

Create a solopreneur consulting brand that communicates professionalism and trust.

Solution

I created a vibrant color palette that represented Daniela’s energetic personality, keeping in mind the professionalism. The logo’s intention was a very minimalistic shape to be taken seriously by big concerns, and at the same time could be placed anywhere and get a direct brand recognition with the pass of time.

Earn clients trust

Making a good first impression with potential clients is much easier now for Daniela having a professional well-designed brand and website. No more esoteric confusion 😉

Challenges

Confusion about company's mission and services

People were often confused about:

•  What is the company about?

•  What services do they offer?

• What are customers paying for?

• Is it just for women?

Wrong perception of the company's image

The brand was perceived as a radical feminist asociation from and strictly for women. This in fact was a very wrong perception of what they intended to communicate in the first place.

Logo, colors & aesthetics are not consistent and don't match their values

The Diversity Company had a different name and the old color palette was very “woman-focused”. Besides, they didn’t stick to one consistent image through all their marketing platforms.

Strategy

  • Analyse the company's values, core message and target audience
  • Redefine the company's mission and services together with the team
  • Create a new corporate identity together with strong a digital presence that communicates better their values

Design a gender neutral brand which welcomes any person no matter what cultural background or color, and transmits a fresh and open-minded mentality.

Solution

I extended the color palette and chose carefully a wide variety of colors full of energy. Also I created three amorphous forms that should represent the diversity in our society.

• Brand Strategy Workshop

• Corporate Identity (Logo, Color Palette, CI Guide, etc)

Benefits

More potential leads

The new website attracts more companies and institutions that didn’t seem to quite understand their services before. The new website has more CTAs and a higher retention rate than the previous one.

Wider community on social media

Since the new image is gender-neutral it invites men, as well as females to support their cause and share their message.

Stable and consistent digital presence

The Diversity Company now has an own personality and identity. This helps their brand to stand out and it sets the tone in all their digital channels. This is a crucial component to make people recognize their brand over time.
