BayWaon the move
BayWa How can growth strategies evolve in a rapidly changing market? What role do brand and brand management play in this? BayWa’s brand management faced the challenges posed by myriad changes and complex issues. We helped the BayWa brand evolve and grow from its long-established essence.
Successful brand management means seeing the brand as a key enabler within the company.
The transformative power of proactive brand management
Modern brand management means establishing the brand as an enabler within the company. Together with BayWa’s Corporate Marketing, we developed tools that Brand Management can use to effectively steer the brand while making the most of its new potential. We added more emotion to the brand and introduced a flexible design for all target audiences and channels to elevate the brand experience. The result: A vibrant, consistent identity across all touch points that strengthens the brand.
Fewer principles, more variety
BayWa’s culture of solidarity and responsibility for society and the environment stems from its cooperative roots. Our idea was to make this sense of unity the basis for evolving the corporate design. One way we did this was to expand the colour palette to give the brand more nuances and thereby open up new opportunities for design.
We made the brand elements more flexible, allowing BayWa to align their many different touch points with their various target audiences.
One foundation – many communication activities
The company’s communication activities are as diverse as BayWa’s target audiences. From B2B and B2C product and image communication to investor relations, employer branding and social media communities: The brand needs a solid foundation to address all audiences with the right content and in the right tone.
Simplifying and modernising the basic elements means that BayWa can communicate more effectively while transporting their core ideas.
The brand refresh is the foundation for our strategic brand management – a clear value-add to BayWa’s sustained success.
What makes a brand excellent?
Through a refined identity and consistent communication, BayWa enhances its brand quality. A stronger customer orientation and emotional element intensifies the connection with target audiences. The reference to the company’s origins, clearly defined principles and responsive adaptation to market changes strengthens people’s trust in the brand. Against the backdrop of constant change, an internal brand awareness and strong commitment among employees play an important role in the company’s sustained success.
