THE Challenge
Communicate the company's strategic repositioning to captivate existing and new targets, alluring fresh market slices and investors
Building on their past wins, the Organisation aims to boost its hi-tech leadership position and widen its audience reach.
To make the repositioning a reality, the company needs to attract not only new markets and investors, but also talents and innovation partners.
The current societal perception of the company is outdated and its image is very distant from current societal problems.
THE SOLUTION
A 3-step journey into the future:
the website builds on a progressive revelation of the strategic repositioning.
It unveils a fresh new company identity that steps closer to the general public showcasing their impact on societal progress.
The website adopts new communication strategies to explain the company's aim and project portfolio, with a strong focus on their societal impact.
Its tone of voice becomes simpler and less technical terms are used so to get closer to younger generations and the general public.
Each target user group is guided through a tailored journey.
Investors can easily find the main data and documents in a dedicated web section. The information architecture follows their research needs and habits, providing them innovative tools to facilitate their decision-making.
Project impacts
The project activities contributed to establish one shared vision about the new company positioning and its transition strategy.
The website is currently being developed.
approach & methodology
The project was setup as a continuous conversation with the client through the use of wireframes and prototypes. These helped the client understand the importance of taking key decisions early on in the process. They also helped create internal alignment with other units.
