CASO STUDIO
Caso studio polieco-logo-colore

Plastics and infrastructure — Brand Architecture for an international industrial group.

01La sfida

Industrie Polieco M.P.B. riunisce realtà industriali specializzate nella produzione di tubi corrugati, chiusini in materiale composito e compound polimerici, operanti in mercati differenti ma accomunate dalla stessa visione industriale. La crescita del gruppo rendeva necessario ridefinire l’architettura del Brand, chiarendo il ruolo della holding e valorizzando le identità di Polieco Group e M.P.B. attraverso un sistema di comunicazione più coerente e riconoscibile.

02L'intervento

WISE ha avviato un percorso di Brand Assessment finalizzato ad analizzare struttura aziendale, posizionamento e percezione dei Brand. Da questa attività è nata una nuova Brand Architecture, accompagnata dalla definizione delle identità visive della holding e delle business unit, da una strategia di posizionamento dedicata e da nuovi strumenti di comunicazione corporate, digitali ed editoriali.

03Il risultato

Un sistema di Brand più chiaro, ordinato e distintivo, capace di rafforzare il ruolo della holding e valorizzare le specificità delle diverse realtà industriali. La nuova architettura ha migliorato la leggibilità dell’intero gruppo e fornito basi solide per lo sviluppo della comunicazione nei diversi mercati internazionali.

01

Brand Assessment

Analysis of the company ecosystem, brand positioning and brand perception.

The diagnosis

The same industrial reality, read in two different ways inside and outside the company.

Externally

Similar names led to different websites, and different names to the same site: the Group's structure was not legible.

Internally

A shared Group identity was missing: conflicting definitions of the same ecosystem coexisted.

M.P.B.

Europe's largest compounder of polyethylene and polypropylene.

Worldwide

Raw materials in the coatings of the world's major gas, oil and water pipelines.

Polieco Group

Corrugated pipes and KIO composite manhole covers for infrastructure.

02

Brand Architecture
