Rubber & Foam — Brand Strategy & Employer Branding for an Industrial Company.

01The Challenge

For over 50 years, Tovo Gomma has been developing and manufacturing rubber compounds and foam solutions for the industrial market. The company’s growth and organizational evolution created an opportunity to rethink its identity, positioning and communication, bringing its distinctive Brand values into sharper focus and building an even stronger connection with the people who make up the organization.

02Our Approach

WISE began the project with a Brand Assessment involving the organization across different functions through interviews and anonymous questionnaires. The analysis identified key strengths and areas for improvement, providing the foundations for a new strategic direction. This was subsequently translated into a Brand repositioning, an evolution of the visual identity and an integrated communication plan, with a particular focus on Employer Branding.

03The Result

A more coherent Brand and communication system, aligned with Tovo Gomma’s identity and evolution and capable of bringing together its heritage, expertise and corporate culture. The strategy was translated across multiple touchpoints, from corporate to internal and digital communication, strengthening the company’s positioning and its relationship with its people.

01

Brand Identity

Evolution of the logo and Brand Identity to create a visual language more closely aligned with the new positioning, while preserving the Brand's recognition and heritage and making the graphic system more effective across different communication contexts.

The approach

Evolve,
don't disrupt.

After 50 years, a mark is an asset. The intervention was surgical: the 3D effect and shadows removed, outlines redrawn flat, proportions and spacing revised — leaving intact the mark the market recognizes.

Employer Branding

Development of the «We are made of stars» concept, created to position people at the heart of Tovo Gomma's identity.
