Requirement

The client wished to perform a complete overhaul of its brand, including its logos, colors, websites, name cards, signages, and packaging.

Hire Digital’s Solution

Hire Digital had performed complete re-brands before and was aware that it is a highly subjective experience for most stakeholders. Re-brands are highly aesthetic, and traditional approaches begin with asking clients abstract questions at the start and delivering something entirely different at the end.

We proposed an Agile approach so that at the end of every 2 weeks, the client could review something real and tangible even if it’s a small output. For example, instead of asking something abstract like “Why is the company’s historical color of choice blue?”, our team delivered 8 variations of name card designs and asked which one resonated with the client and why. Based on the ranked choice, another iteration was repeated for the next sprint.

Hire Digital employed this approach for all operational facets encompassing a company’s brand, such as its logo, website, print materials, signages, advertisements, and copy. A team of graphic designers, UI/UX designers, front-end and backend engineers led by a project manager.

Impact

An Agile approach to re-branding helped the client align and revise small but tangible outputs at a high frequency while minimizing the chances of a teardown revision. Hire Digital delivered all core assets and deployments on schedule while ensuring all stakeholder opinions and requirements were addressed.
