In collaboration with Brunner Strategy, Varese Corridor has revised the whole identity including positioning, developed a new brand name, a descriptive claim and a new corporate design taking into account the new service mandates. In terms of a single brand stategy, existing sub-brands were integrated into the new umbrella-brand in order to strengthen its international impact. Considering the increased competitive pressure in recent years the new branding should minimize the institutional image in favour of a reputation fit for the requirements of a highly agile global economy. Besides the rebranding, we attented to and conceived a variety of communication activities for existing and new products in print and digital.
