This was communicated through a refreshed brand identity system and the tagline ‘Creating Value Is Our Business’ that became the standard bearer for the Olam philosophy. This was captured in an evolved brand identity system to unify its businesses globally.   In 2004 Olam took the decision to list the company and DIA helped communicate Olam’s complex businesses in a way that could be easily understood by investors and would reflect the genuine value of the company and its potential for growth.

With the increasing threat of commoditisation, we helped the team at Cuscapi (then called Datascan) reframe category conversations beyond what they did to what their brand was about. A new future for the brand was born. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight Starting with a series of thought provoking workshops, we helped the leadership team re-perceive their future, moving up the value chain from a ‘solutions-based’ to a more ‘value-based’ proposition. Mapping market opportunity with value delivery, this future-back exercise led to the brand concept of Customer Capital.   Having used the Datascan name for more than two decades, a bold decision was taken to re-position and re-brand as CUSCAPI (coined from Customer (CUS) and Capital (CAPI)). As such, Cuscapi emerged stronger, more agile and customer-driven.   In addition to developing the brand strategy, facilitating organisation alignment and brand engagement, we also formulated a new visual identity system and language to bring the brand promise alive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="350194" img_size="full"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_single_image image="350197" 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="350195" 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="350199" img_size="full"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Impact Within a year of rebranding, Cuscapi showed impressive growth in revenue by 19% and net profit by 135%.

Positioning Dunlopillo as a trusted brand that has always been there to care for the wellbeing of families, we are in fact, helping people make the most of their awake moments by helping them get the best sleep of their lives.   Thus began the transformation of the brand experience from mattress retailing to sleep consulting. Among many other notable initiatives were online sleep and mattress profiling, customer archetype based product innovation, customer-focused retail experience based on the concept of cocooning.

It was also struggling to grow sales in an increasingly competitive category against well established traditional and international rivals. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight Research revealed that while consumers enjoyed snacking on nuts, they found them expensive and out of reach for frequent consumption.   Bridging the gap through a ‘mass appeal’ proposition aligns with Tai Sun’s belief that good living should not be the privilege of only a select few. Supported by Tai Sun’s trusted family heritage, DIA helped distill the corporate brand essence to “Goodness in Everything”, delivered through the brand tagline “Life’s a treat”, communicating nuts as the healthy snack choice.   The Tai Sun range packaging has been refreshed to exude warmth and friendliness, reflecting its earnest belief in making snacks with care and quality. Product photography has been enhanced to improve appetite appeal and the design has created a powerful brand presence on shelf.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The Insight We created a new strategic roadmap and a differentiated positioning for SLS that anchored the brand on the promise of ‘Creating Advantage’, expressing the tangible edge that SLS brings to its stakeholders.

[/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. We revolutionised Ogawa’s retail experiences based on the ‘oasis of discovery’ – a place that engages and delights the five senses.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space image_repeat="no-repeat"][vc_column_text] The...

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.

This revealed a clear focus on holistic beauty amongst Asian women.   A new brand positioning for Marionnaud in Asia was created around the concept of ‘beauty inspirations’. 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.
