Directors Australia

Situation

Directors Australia is an established company that operates across Australia and was looking to undergo a corporate rebrand. Specifically, the business had an outdated brand identity and were experiencing increased market competition. Therefore, we helped develop a corporate rebranding structure to establish market leader positioning and prepare for future growth.

Objectives

  • Evolve the brand identity, while building on existing brand equity,
  • Consolidate positioning across the two parts of the business,
  • Generate brand awareness and interest across potential clients, the industry and candidates,
  • Ensure the brand structure and messaging reflects the current business strategy.

Corporate rebrand strategy

We introduced the technical descriptor ‘board performance specialists’ to reposition the brand as a holistic service providing end-to-end board solutions. As well as this, we developed three solution streams ‘Advisory. Governance. Recruitment’ to communicate their unique competitive advantage.

Rebrand Design

While retaining the brand name, Directors Australia, we created a dynamic graphic device through stylising the letters ‘DA’. This device was adapted for the refreshed logo, as a visual identity pattern across a suite of collateral and in campaign execution as an image frame and design element. Coupled with a modern colour palette of grey-blue, deep and bright blue, the brand’s new identity is clear, engaging and recognisable.

Brand voice

The brand’s tone of voice combines their passion for change, collaboration and engagement with their authority as recognised and proven experts in the corporate space. Additionally, this messaging appeals to multiple markets, across sectors and industries, and aligns with the business strategy for future growth.

Outcomes

Overall, Directors Australia’s evolved identity and structure repositions them as leading specialists in the market with a unique competitive advantage. By positively disrupting the market, Directors Australia is generating brand awareness and recognition and preparing for future expansion.

As well as this, we designed a new website that engages with their stakeholder profiles and establishes market positioning, bringing their brand voice and personality to life.
