Research

1. Benchmark

Benchmark Conclusions

  • Brand statements in the healthcare sector are straightforward and clear

  • Blue and green are the most popular and conventional colours, although black and white would position the brand as more luxurious and warmer tones can make the brand seem more welcoming

  • There are plenty of symbols recognised worldwide as part of the health sector. We need to be quickly identified as healthcare providers, but we have the freedom to explore how we are represented.

  • All our hospitals, clinics, etc., will be physical representations of the brand, and they should explore ways to be perceived as comfortable and caring places not only for patients but also for staff and visitors.

2. Trends

Trend analysis takeaways

  • Technology can be a catalyst for a more empathic medical service. 

  • A digital presence is vital to the endurance and strength of our brand. 

  • Positioning the brand and the region as a viable option for highly skilled cosmetic surgery and unparalleled rest and privacy could be clear paths to profitability

Our brand will serve a local community, but also temporary workers and visitors. We need a brand that makes them all feel safe and cared for, even if they’re far away from home. 

We have to be a source of comfort for patients, and an inspiration for staff. 

Brand Story

  • If something happens to me or my family, how do I make sure we are safe?

  • We know you care. We care too.

  • No one can control if or when something might happen,

  • But we can control how quick we act,

  • how well-prepared we are,

  • how much we care.

  • Your health is something that we hold dear.

  • Whether you’re a local or a tourist,

  • a parent or an athlete,

  • A fighter or a visitor,

  • You can never be too far from your health.

  • We are right here.

  • Care, close to you.

Brand Pyramid

For this project, I reframed the brief, conducted market research, presented scenarios for the brand architecture and possible naming routes, wrote the brand story and created the brand pyramid and positioning.
