REBRANDING A NYC EXPERIENTIAL AGENCY MADE TO INSPIRE

On their 15th anniversary, BMF Media was looking for a total brand refresh. After conducting stakeholder interviews, market research, and brand workshops, the center of the rebrand is a refreshed name (dropped media), logo and tagline, “made to inspire”— all meant to convey modern simplicity, worldly sophistication and a bold confidence. We were also able to craft a positioning statement, values, and minifesto for the brand — something their partners had never been able to previously align on. The new brand principles were also carried throughout the redesigned website, sizzle reel, social media channels, and collateral.
