BUILDING A BRAND THAT REDUCES AUTOMOTIVE EMISSIONS  

Alex was contacted to create a brand for an aftermarket product for trucks and cars to reduce emissions. For the engagement we advised performing a comprehensive brand discovery and strategy process.

The Process:

Alex conducted market research to learn about the target audiences demographics and pychographics, aligning them with market trends. We conducted stakeholder interviews with c-suite and external stakeholders extracting company values, unique selling points and current positioning.

The brand strategy development process uncovered the brand’s personality, tangible and intangible values, target audience personas, profiling and key product features. These insights were turned into key audience benefits and values to the customer allowing for the birth of crafting a compelling narrative and visual brand expression.
