Mergers and brand architecture

After the merger, the combined business needed to be understood and sold as one.

The new direction:

One brand built on trust, bringing two merged companies together under one story.

Mergers and brand architecture

Runway #227Simplify Wealth

Two brands. One purpose.

The challenge:

Founder Angela Alvig needed a platform of her own without competing with the company she built.

The new direction:

A connected brand strategy that gave both room to grow while staying grounded in Simplify Wealth’s purpose: lifting the burden and complexity of wealth.

New names and categories

Runway #241Protomiq

TradePending became Protomiq

The challenge:

The business had moved beyond its original category, and its name no longer fit.

The new direction:

Protomiq, a new masterbrand that turns shopper behavior into buyer intelligence, helping dealers close more deals.

New names and categories

Runway #183Datagration

A new name and brand for knowledge automation

The challenge:

The platform had grown from managing data to automating decisions. Its category still said data technology.

The new direction:

A new name and brand that told the market the platform had grown beyond data, built around a new category: knowledge automation.

New names and categories

Runway #193HumanTech

A brand built on one idea: adoption has to be designed

The challenge:

Its category label no longer reflected the value or sophistication of the work.

The new direction:

A new position and brand built on one idea: change can be managed, but adoption has to be designed.
