Festool Rebranding  —  2018

One design element. Many functions. The logo comes into focus. Connect it with the product.

Smart brand. Smart campaign.

The difference between a design agency and a thinking design agency is: in one, you get a stylish catalog. As ordered. In the other, a smart concept. Like Festool. Where we listened closely in workshops and shop talks. Conclusion: The automotive sector of the power tool manufacturer is missing something crucial. They have a good marketing tool with the 'Profitzone'. But that’s not enough to ignite their own sales. Nor to open the doors at the targeted customers — the auto repair shops.

So, we create a story. We transfer the dry topic into an exciting environment. The world of motorsport with its high-end story. Emotional because sexy because sporty. And suddenly, we are on eye level with mechanics and workshop owners. And they are willing to talk. Open to arguments: why it’s worth investing in Festool.

A catalog can’t do that. Only a creative concept can do that. And that’s what we love to do. Creating images. And desirability. And sexiness. Because that’s how you make brands strong.
