Global Tech enabled language services: post-merger marketing asset integration
Post merger brand, 'secret sauce', differential advantage and market positioning
The challenge
After a recent merger of two of the worlds largest language services providers, we were asked to help define the post-merger vision, purpose, values, brand architecture and differential advantages of the new combined entity and build strategy toward a future market position.
What we delivered
-
Reviewed existing vision, mission, purpose, offers, brand assets, market opportunities and key audiences of each of the entities in the merger.
-
Worked with the new leadership team to define and agree new vision, mission, purpose and strategic direction.
-
Structured interviews and 'first hand' discovery sessions and work-shops with key customers and internal stakeholders.
-
Used Adaptomy brand building and value proposition diagnostics, (part of our DNA methodology) to structure and accelerate analysis of input from internal stakeholders
-
Identified new brand assets, brand vision, brand concepts and 'secret sauce', a way to convey vision, mission, differential advantage and brand through pillared stories
-
Isolated 3 core competencies, nuanced understanding and differential advantages of the combined business.
-
Developed brand profile and strategy including: corporate vision, mission and purpose, brand architecture, brand personality, key brand assets, brand narrative, target markets and audiences.
Key take-aways
-
Alignment of leadership team around a common vision, mission, purpose and value and agreement on key brand assets of the new, combined business post-merger.

Clear differentiated direction for the brand and ways to communicate that direction through structured stories.
