Challenge

How does a 124 year old business stay relevant in a progressive digital world? Well, that’s the question we set out to answer when we engaged with Bell Ingram on this project.

Going deep

With a brand as long-established as Bell Ingram, it was important for us to lean on our own core brand value to “go deep” so we could fully understand the business. We were blown away with the team’s enthusiasm for change. We had strong engagement from the stakeholders, from senior partners to secretaries, who were keen to embrace a brand evolution that would move the company forward.
