Background

Context

The agency pitched for MSL’s rebranding work and won it. The assignment was to begin during a time when the head of strategy and senior strategist were unable to undertake the project. Recruited as lead strategist for the project with an overarching objective to craft a new strategy and narrative that helps MSL bring their new brand strategy to life.

Actions

The current brand position and narrative were outdated and the assignment was to ‘fix’/refresh some of the clear issues with their brand architecture and brand identity. The project encompassed brand strategy, naming (replacing the ‘Limited’) and included stakeholder interviews, presentations including insights, a naming workshop, a brand strategy platform and naming recommendations with taglines.

Results

Client MSL agreed team had captured their business and brand objectives and selected our brand positioning, as well as a new name (MS Plus) for their organisation to take through to the design stage within a tight deadline.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all of your hard work and intellectual thinking and analysis. The outcome is feeling really strong and we are set up in a good position. It’s come together really well, thanks for all your hard work and in-depth thinking. Clients are stoked.
