Merging brands and companies
Merging brands or business entities demands a strategic approach to brand alignment. We’ll work closely with you to integrate the strengths of each company and brand, create a brand consolidation strategy, streamline your portfolio, and deliver a coherent brand architecture where every brand can thrive and succeed.
Creating a unified brand identity
A successful merger results in a brand identity that’s stronger and more vibrant than ever before. We’ll guide you through creating a robust new identity, from concept to execution, which will resonate deeply with target audiences, employees, stakeholders and partners alike.
Aligning your company culture
Aligning business cultures is crucial to the success of any merger, and must be driven by your brand. Our creativity will help you cultivate a unified, engaging and inspirational internal culture, invigorating your workforce and winning over top talent.
Structuring a coherent brand portfolio
M&As often result in a complex portfolio of products and services. Our brand strategy for mergers and acquisitions will help you organise and present your portfolio clearly and coherently. That might mean rebranding, rationalising or retiring existing offerings, or launching new ones – ensuring that your portfolio reflects the strengths and vision of your overarching brand.
We create brand transition strategies which will carry you through the upheaval of a merger or acquisition, delivering resilient and ready brands with strong market appeal.
