Get there first

Sony Electronics USA needs to rekindle its innovative spirit, inspire its workforce and position its global brand with a tech-loving society. After a comprehensive immersion into the principles that CEO Sir Howard Stringer was bringing to the Sony corporation, we proposed the demanding, inescapable brand idea:

Get There First is about believing that Sony is at the cutting edge. That if you buy a Sony product you are ahead. The words are true of Sony’s heritage. You can believe that Sony, if anyone, got to things first. They invented the whole thing of electronic gadgets. And have continued, more or less, ever since. Both management and employees at Sony Corporation must live up to the company’s idea in order to survive. The Get There First campaign is split between internal, external and retail audiences and uses all media components. Building Sony’s reputation makes use of inspiring stories – headed by known and unknown people and often related to Sony’s entertainment and engineering business. Every touchpoint strengthens a new belief in the company’s capabilities and ethos. Get There First expresses the human desire to be one step ahead, to be a boundary breaker, to be an innovator.

In quintessential retail, the proof is in the pudding. Sony’s intrinsic product benefits form the basis of each message and answer to the brand idea of making lives better through product innovation. Get There First becomes very powerful.

It helps shoppers to reason-why they’re paying a premium for an innovative, superior technological advanced product.
Consumers like to buy into brands that stand for something. Who are on a mission to change the world for better.
Sony acts like an early-adopters brand again. Leading the way. It says, this the way the world is moving, get there first.

Ability Business Management Software > CI / UI / UX / DM

8 years ago By BHAG Design

Corporate Identity, UI/UX and Direct Marketing concept and design for Ability Business Management Software. Ability™ is like SAP, but for smaller companies. Its uniqueness is found in its inspiring name. In its logo. In its communication.

A decision about a business management system is not taken easily. It’s going to be costly and it’s going to be disruptive. Whether a new system actually works is another matter – there are many horror stories of solutions that took months to implement and of businesses which were worse off after implementation. Which solution to opt for? Considerations include (1) ease of implementation (2) scalability (3) whether the solution is Microsoft-based and (4) return on investment.

The strapline (written by Mark Varder) appeals to the SME’s who are battling to expand and grow their organisations to the next level. Jim Collins describes the problem in his book, Good to Great: “As a company grows and becomes more complex, it begins to trip over its own success – too many new people, too many new customers, too many new orders, too many new products.” Entrepreneurs find themselves bogged down in the day-to-day workings of business and can no longer do the sort of thinking which had established the company in the first place. This insight revealed the deeper problem that needed solving. We had come across Ability’s big idea. Ability. Discover ours. Rediscover yours.

The logotype. How do you capture the positives of the word Ability and its promises for a business – like growth, progress and solidity? Answer: with a simple, bold, memorable logo design that can stand the test of time.

Much of Ability’s marketing is done online. The all-important Ability website contains two menus, 1. Organisational 2. Case histories. – Case histories are crucial to the pragmatist mindset of CEOs and CFOs. They add tremendous credibility to the software and a welcome reassurance that the decision to implement Ability is justified. Below, a few examples of the content we developed.

The website borrows from Christian Stoll’s wonderful large-scale photography. Christian has a knack for finding futurism in today’s techno culture. His objects undergo a metamorphosis, transforming them into visuals of tactile desire.

The Ability Seminars. Once Ability had embraced the ethos, “Discover ours, rediscover yours,” it became clear that this should become the central organising principle for the company. As a result, Ability developed its own insightful workshops for SMEs – added value for leaders who want not only to improve their businesses, but up their game when it comes to strategic and visionary thinking.
