Built since 1961 to take on the infrastructure and mining projects others consider too challenging, the company has brought its unique blend of innovation to many of the world’s iconic stadiums, skyscrapers, bridges, dams, structures and mining projects. Formerly two businesses, Structural Systems and Rock Australia, due to a corporate restructure a decision was made to unify the company under the name SRG Limited to refocus and reposition the business for global growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="351136" img_size="full" css=".vc_custom_1476412109744{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;}"][/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_single_image image="351138" img_size="full" css=".vc_custom_1476412176306{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;}"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="351139" img_size="full"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="351137" img_size="full"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight The company’s promise to its customers was to ‘make the complex simple’. DIA Brands’ approach to this major rebrand was to bring simplicity and clarity to the way the business told its story and built its brand across all its physical and digital interactions. Change communications were developed to bring customers along on the journey and the business’ new brand positioning and new organisational values were brought to life throughout the new company headquarters to help create a unified culture.

Based in Perth, the Institute was founded as the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research, lead by the inaugural Chairman, the late Harry Perkins AO. With the building of two new advanced research centres, it was decided WAIMR would be renamed and rebranded the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research in his honour.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="351074" img_size="full" css=".vc_custom_1475216585323{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;}"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight Through our branding work with Wesfarmers, including when Harry Perkins was their Chairman, we had a keen insight into the man, as well as what his contribution meant to the institute as an organisation. The creative idea to use Harry’s signature as the brand identity came from the realisation that this new brand was personal for everyone involved. Adopting his personal mark would create the emotional and visual connection to the man the Institute was looking for.[/vc_column_text][/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="351073" img_size="full" css=".vc_custom_1475216557260{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;}"][/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_single_image image="351076" img_size="full"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="351077" img_size="full"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="351075" img_size="full" css=".vc_custom_1475216601783{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;}"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Impact For organisations passionate about improving human health, medical research brands are often impersonal and unremarkable.

The outcomes and key insights informed the overall strategy to present kaya as the much loved choice of modern families by expanding its role beyond breakfast and tea-time occasions. With a proposition centered around "Open Up", the brand was able to leverage on a compelling platform to introduce product innovations through contemporary and unexpected flavours that injected life and enhanced kaya’s relevance and appeal to new market segments. To supplement the revitalised proposition, a new name was introduced. "Kayamila" represents Fong Yit's ambitious goal to elevate the kaya category. The new name injects vibrancy into the product portfolio, and enabled the brand to stretch...

Invertebrates, the silent majority, represent 80% of life on our planet. Working tirelessly to maintain the balance of nature, these unsung heroes were in need of a champion to stand up for them and give them a voice. That was PBF’s true calling. We assisted PBF’s management in creating the new name, brand and destination: Entopia - an idyllic and magical destination that helps people re-connect with nature. Together with them, we created the brand’s approach and guidelines and the entire destination experience of Entopia. Collectively, we inspired a new and unified beginning for its employees.

The National Heritage Board wanted to extend its mandate and expand to off-site locations, prompting a review of its brand. The challenge was to understand the needs of the two main user groups and define what lies at the heart of Singapore and Asian heritage and identity for each, and to make it meaningful when taken in and out of the museum context. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight Through insights gathered in research, we learned that ‘memories’ formed an integral part of the museum and museum shop experience for both local and overseas visitors. This gave rise to a brand proposition centred on the idea of story-telling, providing rich inspiration for the creation of a new retail identity. This was anchored on a framing device that creates a context for the stories being told, linking directly to the museum experience. This was applied to a full range of brand graphics and a retail concept designed to bring heritage and memories to life. The challenge for implementation was to create a design framework that is identifiable and unifying, while allowing each museum to express its...

Re-creating the library as a new kind of space that has multiple roles and reflects the needs of today's media-astute users was challenging and required new thinking. Concieved as a creative space that aimed to make design accessible, it sought to reach beyond the creative community to engage the public in the possibilities of design at all levels.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="350142" 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="350144" 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_single_image image="350143" img_size="full"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="350146" img_size="full"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight Design as a discipline is often not well understood and may be seen as the remit of only those in the creative industry. Engaging a larger community in design implies the need to make design more engaging, understandable and accessible. To express the brand’s imperative, DIA captured the its essence in the tagline ‘Design is for Everyone’, a theme that is central to the development of the brand. This was brought to life through the idea of a ‘Wonderland’ – which frames library@orchard as a ‘rabbit hole’, where surprises abound at every corner.
