A strong brand and a thorough brand strategy are crucial for a global player like Deceuninck. The reason for this brand exercise was a repositioning of the company around the theme “building a sustainable home”. Globally, Deceuninck needed a strengthening of the brand and an adjustment of the brand promise, combined with clear communication guidelines. A redesign of the brand strategy and brand architecture was imperative.
To put the brand and the brand promise firmly back on the map, Lemento set up a corporate identity program. In-depth interviews with all stakeholders, desk research and a competition and needs analysis helped Lemento, in cooperation with the internal project team, to clearly define the strategy and vision for the future. These were then translated into a new corporate identity with a renewed brand promise.
The logo was optimized and a new baseline was developed: ‘Building a sustainable home’. A product focus gave way to a focus on the benefits that Deceuninck products bring to the consumer. Three themes are differentiating here: innovation, ecology and design.
The brand architecture was also analyzed. The result was a strategic advice from Lemento to redesign the brand architecture. Where conflicts occurred, a buffer zone was installed within which a different brand name is used for the Deceuninck product range. The picture of the brands in portfolio is correct again.
