SRB – Svensk Rikstäckande Butiksservice.

Sweden’s number one retail service company, with more than 200 merchandisers, developed a new identity and a new brand promise through the GYÖRKI+ workshop method.

The Retail industry is undergoing rapid change as a result of a shift in consumer habits and behaviour, as use of digital technology matures in an increasing number of aspects of modern society. This places new demands on stakeholders along every phase of the distribution and marketing chains. SRB adapted to this new playing field with an updated strategy and new, relevant and clear communication targeted at both their employees and their clients. GYÖRKI+ got the assignment to develope a new identity programme, which more effectively endorses and visualises SRB Butiksservice’s new, updated strategy and business offerings.

An addition was made to the acronym SRB, to clarify their offering, and the company was renamed SRB Butiksservice (Retail services). Going forward, SRB Butiksservice’s communication will be tailored to highlight their new brand promise: “Vi gör det du inte gör!” (“We do the things you don’t!”).

A new symbol has also been added to the trademark, to add character and give their branded merchandise an added decorative dimension. The symbol consists of a constellation of circles, and can be said to represent the company’s various centres of excellence in different parts of the country. The design was inspired by a hard-working, diligent animal: the ant.

DOT SHOT.

Life science company Pharma Way was looking for a new identity and a marketing concept they could apply in introducing their unique health food product to the European and North American markets. This unique product needed a functional design that would grab people’s attention in a wide variety of settings, from bars in New York to Stockholm supermarkets or Carrefour hypermarkets in Paris. The concept targets health-conscious physically, and socially active urbanites.

FROM BOREDOM TO STARDOM, 2002–2010. (AND BACK TO OBLIVION).

In 2002, MQ was a chain of independent fashion retailers with a rather vaguely defined brand, which mainly sold products from other brands to loyal customers, in high-end retail locations, with high-end service levels. MQ´s marketing was largely based on traditional campaigns with price offerings. They were low in pride over their own brand. However, when a new management team came in, they began preparing for the launch of a new MQ concept, and set the goal of making an initial public offering in 2010. Their efforts resulted in an all-new MQ that would go on to take the position of one of the most renowned fashion brands in Sweden. (Epilogue: a few years after the IPO, a new management team was appointed, and subsequently ceased to continue investing in the branding efforts–the marketing investments that had helped the company reach such a desirable market position. A few years and a few strategic missteps later, the company was in a state of free-fall.)

From dusty old walking shoes to energetic sports footwear

Bokus.com was losing ground within the growing online book sales market. Their brand was both unclear and indistinct, with a dated visual identity. Presence, pacing, and the utilisation of the opportunities that digitalisation gives. Are all key success factors for all varieties of e-commerce companies. In the marketplace, however, bokus.com was beginning to seem more like a sleepy old library. All the same, many of the required components were present: a steady flow of new book releases, a great selection, the best search engine in the business, and a highly functional e-commerce system.

From sleepy library to 24-7 digital storefront and meeting-place for avid readers.

In 2013, Bokus won market share from a leading competitor in an e-commerce market that was slowing down and increased their sales by 14%. This growth continued in 2014, and August of that year reached their best monthly sales figures in 17 years of being in business!

One of the world’s most recognised brands, with an iconic packaging design, needed to undergo a facelift to stay fresh in the early 2000s, facing stiffening competition. The brand design needed to go from exclusive bar exposure of the most famous bottle design in the world, to volume sales and a need for exposure of the product in the retail setting, without compromising brand recognition.

From old-fashioned shop to contemporary indoor market.

Interflora and traditional floral vendors were facing tough pressure from a new type of competitors like ICA, Statoil, and IKEA, who entered the market and began to undercut their prices. Interflora CEO John Lilja realised early on that Interflora shops would need an upgrade that would make them the flower shops of the future if they were to survive in this competitive environment. The task of naming their new retail concept, developing a new profile for their communications, and creating new, distinctive graphic assets was given to Catt and Co. Interflora Fresh was born!

logic.gif

LOGIC
Creating the flower shop of the future, to face the dual threat of new sales outlets entering the market and new consumer habits.

Targeting younger, highly aware, and modern consumers, who decorate their homes with flowers, and who like to bring “something” along when they are invited to other people’s homes.

Vanguard retail locations to act as role models for the 375 shops, and a revitalisation of the whole Interflora brand.

MAGIC
Interflora Fresh – a new name that signalled an upgrade, revamping, and rejuvenation of the brand, keeping it firmly in touch with its legacy.

A new, unique visual idiom and graphic style for use in retail locations and advertising, which highlights the products and conveys a modern, inspiring “indoor market” atmosphere.

All products to be branded with specially designed wrapping paper, wrapping tissue, ribbons, stickers, bags, etc.

SUCCESS
20–30% increase in revenue over the first year, compared to Interflora locations not included in the programme. Five years on, revenue is still growing from year to year.

FROM BLAND TRAVEL FOOTAGE TO MEMORABLE ADVERTISEMENTS

Package holidays have been advertised in more or less the same way ever since the early days of the industry. Generic, voyeuristic footage of romantic couples in solitude. Or, equally solitary families frolicking on beaches. But the world has changed. The clan is the new family. Today, a couple might just as well choose to travel with friends, and a family might consist of a mother and her child, the mother’s new boyfriend, his older children, and a pair of sprightly grandparents. And an aunt. We no longer travel to visit specific places; we travel to spend more time with the people we love. In this new world, Fritidsresor was stuck with an outdated visual idiom, set of motifs, and advertising style, which made them seem the same as everybody else.
logic.gif

LOGIC
The days that matter aren’t the everyday, humdrum ones. The days that matter are the memorable ones, which you spend in the company of your nearest and dearest–your tribe, if you will. An everyday experience becomes exceptional when it is shared with others on a holiday trip. Fritidsresor can take you far away from the things you’re used to experience, and offer you experiences you will never forget.

 
magic.gif

MAGIC
A unique visual identity that will set us apart from other travel agents in the four Nordic countries. A visual idiom that is instantly recognisable, regardless of the medium. A new, clarified identity that will bring travellers from the various Scandinavian nations together once they’ve reached their destinations.

From medical expertise to taste excellence.

Twelve years ago, Finnish company Valio were the first to introduce lactose-free dairy products to the Swedish market. Their advertising was problem-oriented, and targeted the relatively small group of individuals who have been diagnosed with lactose intolerance. For a long time, the lctose-free market was their exclusive playground, but when the segment exploded, other traditional dairy suppliers like Arla, Skånemejerier, and ICA were quick to follow the trend. Competition stiffened rapidly. In collaboration with Catt and Co, Valio decided to shift their brand positioning from that of a provider of a medical necessity for a rare few to that of a provider of a healthy, enjoyable, and tasty option for everyone. The result? Valio is healthier than ever!

logic.gif
 

LOGIC
Pivot the brand from “medical expertise” to “excellent taste”. Broaden the target market from the small group of lactose intolerants to include anybody who takes an interest in food and health. Highlight taste, enjoyment, and the feeling of well-being, rather than talk about problems and medical conditions.

magic.gif
 

MAGIC
A new, impactful visual look seeped in the enjoyment of food, inspiration, and quality. Focus to lie on settings in urban kitchens, and the delivery of innovative products that appeal to everybody who cares about food and healthy living.

SUCCESS
Despite increasingly intense competition from well-known brands, Valio’s sales increased by 10% last year at a premium price, and they have managed to retain their position as market leaders in the lactose-free segment.

Stockholm Sinfonietta

The Stockholm Sinfonietta gains an identity.

logic.gif

LOGIC
The sinfonietta consists of the finest chamber musicians in the country, who have banded together to form an orchestra. The individual musicians also all perform with other orchestras, and sought a unified identity that would represent them as the Stockholm Sinfonietta. They wanted a clarified, strong, and professional image, which could position the orchestra as the very best in its genre. The visual approach had to be strong enough to match the artistic qualities of the musicians.

magic.gif

MAGIC
We looked for a visual way of conveying the experience of the music and the various musicians’ instruments. They each have their own unique, individual approach to handling their instruments; their own individual trademark within the orchestra. This motion was captured by photographer Svenolof Jonn, who used a special technique invented for the purpose. The captured footage became their distinguishing feature, and each individual member’s unique “calling card”. The various beautiful patterns combined to form the foundation of the Sinfonietta’s visual identity, and were used in their marketing to improve recognition and establish the Stockholm Sinfonietta brand.
