From unknown US tech brand to broader-appeal European brand

§ 01The brief

What we walked into.

An America-leading marine audio manufacturer needed to raise its profile across Europe — engaging retailers, boat manufacturers, superyacht captains, project managers and end-user consumers. The work was led in close collaboration with the UK-based European distributor.

§ 02On intake

The challenges on file.

  • American brand personality needed evolution for European markets without breaking continuity.

  • Multiple audiences in one program: retailers, manufacturers, superyacht crew and consumers.

  • Print, digital, event, social and PR had to ladder up to one identity.

  • Tight retail and event windows across European boat and trade shows.

§ 03The install

The system we shipped.

Step 01

Evolved visual identity

Created a series of graphic elements — including a versatile soundwave graphic and refreshed imagery — that worked harmoniously with the established US identity and felt at home in European markets.

Step 02

Cohesive cross-channel rollout

Applied the new system across event invitations, social channels, music playlists, email footers, brochures and the website — one look, every touchpoint.

Step 03

PR + editorial program

Layered in public relations, content and editorial writing for European trade press, plus advertising planning across full and fractional-page print adverts and digital adapts.

Step 04

Event-led activation

Anchored European boat and marine trade-show launches with event invitations, promotional handouts and on-stand branding tied to the same identity system.
