BREIF
The brand was outdated, inconsistent, and invisible. No real social presence, no cohesive identity across touchpoints, and low engagement across the board. A liability in an industry built on trust.

Full brand redesign and style guide, website reskin, social media strategy and ongoing management, print collateral and stationery, conference/event signage, and recurring marketing reporting (quarterly and annual) plus presentation decks for leadership.
