RESULT: CLEAR BRAND PROPOSITION DEFINED TO TAKE GROWTH FORWARD
BRAND POSITIONING: NEW MARKET, NEW PRODUCT
Modern Media developed a brand positioning strategy for Vivantio, an IT service management software provider. Vivantio saw their growth coming from the extension of their product range and a move into the US market. The project included in-depth interviews and extensive market and competitor analysis in order to develop a clear brand positioning to support their future growth.
