Branding at the speed of light

We were contracted to develop a new brand for a company laden with history. The assignment came with several communicational challenges to be tackled. Due to classification, no ongoing projects could be disclosed. This was a real obstacle when much sought-after engineers needed to be recruited. Also, the entire brand, including collaterals, had to be launched in just 8 weeks.

A platform with foresight

With optical systems being core to their business, this was fundamental to the brand platform. We based it on the notion of foresight, seeing the unseen in order to safely undertake some of the most important missions around. For the brand identity, we drew inspiration from the movement of travelling light, while adopting visual cues from space and defense. And to excite burgeoning engineers, we emphasized Danbury’s glorious past.

Mission accomplished

We executed the launch right on time, with a new brand, a website, a recruitment video, social media templates, stationary, datasheets and more, developed in just under 8 weeks. Even though our partnership is ongoing, we consider it a mission accomplished. So does the team at Danbury.
