This combined with a high priority on authenticity and the resonance of the Samsui women's story and traditions formed the inspiration for the brand refresh.   Inspired by these modern-day consumer sentiments, and with an understanding of Samsui’s future plans, an opportunity was found in creating a brand centred on the idea of ‘Pride and Joy’ in home cooking supported by the Samsui story.   The new brand identity featuring a stylised Samsui woman, together with a packaging design that features had crafted illustrations that bring the brand essence to life, so it evokes a sense of nostalgia and through crafted storytelling that draws on a commitment to uphold the Samsui women’s ideals.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight DIA was appointed to develop the brand for the science hub in cooperation with the Science Hub Development Group (SHDG). We developed a global research programme to deeply understanding scientists, researchers and technopreneurs and their needs. This revealed the importance of the collaborative over physical envcironment. This was leversaged to present the science hub in a compelling manner that would attract and invite the like-minded to journey together and claim the vision 'where ideas grow'.   DIA developed the name 'one-north' to position the science hub in a global context, at 1º latitude north. The visual identity expresses the three spaces of one-north, the physical, connected and imaginative space, which is limited only by imagination. This was applied to a multi-dimensional launch exhibition featuring descriptions of each of the ‘exchanges’ or zones within the science hub and communicating the live, work, play, learn integrated concept that envisages a science city within a city for the 21st century.   As the infrastructure developed, the identity was applied to a comprehensive way-finding and signage system and applied to sub-brand identities to each of the exchange hubs.

To share ‘the heart of wellness’ by adding value to the lives of the customers by inspiring them to adopt healthy practices and lead a balanced and harmonious life. Leveraging from this insight, we moved to craft a well-defined brand roadmap to bring about a brand, retail, and culture revival.   To cascade Ogawa’s goal across various consumer touchpoints, we embarked on a series of meaningful transformations. The organisation experienced a paradigm shift as we transformed its business model from product push to well-being focused. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing Ogawa’s sales promoters energised with a greater purpose as wellness advisors. We also successfully revitalised Ogawa’s brand identity system to share the joys of wellness using the specially-created, ‘happy world’ supergraphics.   Believing in the value of experience design, we also worked to bring Ogawa’s new-found purpose to life through customer experience in its retail stores.

Founded by the philanthropist Lee Kong Chian in the 1930s, the bank has played a prominent role in Singapore’s national development and is today a leading bank in Singapore and Malaysia.   Following the announcement of the deregulation of the Singapore banking market by then Finance Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 1998, OCBC realised the need to reposition the bank to face competition from global banking brands. The objective under Alex Au, OCBC’s new CEO, was to layout a new roadmap for the brand to help steer it through the next 20 years.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight The first action was to create a change culture around a new set of internal values - Teamwork; Integrity and fair dealing; Customer focus; Support for change.   This was cascaded through the organisation through a staff convention and an internal training programme.

The insights and strategic recommendations resulted in a new brand vision - ‘Knowledge, Imagination, Possibility’ - that reflected NLB’s growing portfolio of information and knowledge services. This provided the foundation for new messaging that was developed for different audiences and stakeholders.   A clearer brand architecture was also developed to rationalise the relationships between the NLB master brand, the sub-brands of its services and other operating entities, all built on the NLB brand identity which was given a more contemporary new san serif logotype.

The idea encompasses both inner and outer beauty needs and was expressed through a new brand identity and in-store experience that made its debut in a new 10,000 sqft prototype store at the Mall of Asia in Manila.   ‘Retailtainment’ was a key aspect of the experience concept and this was brought to life through features such as the cosmetic and fragrance bar, a beauty theatre for demonstrations and a juice bar to chill out, amongst others.

With the divestment of its audit and assurance service following new regulatory guidelines and the arrival of the next generation on board, as well as the expansion of to a new office in Hong Kong, the firm needed an updated and distinct brand proposition.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight While some stakeholders saw the family-aspects of the business as traditional, many found it positive as it signifies significant commitment and loyalty. In this context, it was ctitical that the brand strike a balance between maintaining a professional image but embracing the ‘family-business’ ethos to maintain and grow long-term client relationships while attracting and retaining the best talent.   Key research insights gave rise to the brand idea of ‘We are a family, upholding friendly, trusted relationships’, which is captured through the new brand identity – a dialogue cube with the ‘I’ hallmark.

For years, Goodpack has enjoyed a leadership position underpinned by its first-mover advantage. But as the business grew quickly, there became a critical need for a unifying culture rooted in a strong brand. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight The solution is quite literally out of the box. DIA found that beyond the IBCs, Goodpack is truly offering the promise of ‘Growing Partnerships’ – by bringing together manufacturers, distributors, buyers and suppliers from different parts of the world through an efficient model of hiring locally and de-hiring globally. This also means giving Goodpack staff a different way of approaching their work – from providing a practical packing solution to proactively being a world-class partner by understanding and even predicting customer needs. This has fuelled the development of a more robust CRM system.   The emphasis on partnerships has also inspired concerted efforts to develop HR and internal communication practices that foster a collaborative work culture.   All this has been reflected in a new identity system that communicates Goodpack's partnership offer, as well as the unique two-way 'hire locally, de-hire globally' proposition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="349955" img_size="full"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="349957" img_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="grid" text_align="left" box_shadow_on_row="no"][vc_column][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="349954" img_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="grid" text_align="left" box_shadow_on_row="no"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Impact Following the re-branding programme, KKR the global investment firm took a majority stake in...
