01Situation

Market-leading performance, but a brand presence that had fallen behind.

Established position

SEOX was already a leading SEO agency. The visual identity told a different story.

Clear client goal

A modern presence with a defined magenta-based colour world.

Full scope

Logo, colour concept, website redesign and print material in one project.

02Complication

A rebrand on a campaign timeline with a year-end deadline.

Only a few weeks to the deadline

The project started shortly before the fixed completion date.

Ongoing client communication affected

The switch had to work first time. There was no plan for a second attempt.

Personal proximity to the client

Higher expectations and shorter communication paths at the same time.

03Approach

Clear priorities, rapid iterations and close alignment.

Brand core first

Logo and colour concept formed the foundation. Everything else followed from there.

Website in the new look

A complete redesign based on the new brand identity.

Short feedback cycles

Close collaboration instead of large presentation rounds. Delivered within four to six weeks.

04Results

Complete rebrand in 4 to 6 weeks

Logo, colour world, website and business cards delivered on time.

A recognisable brand system

A consistent magenta-based identity across all media.

Follow-up work

The collaboration continued after the initial project.

What I take away from it

Extreme deadlines need a price and a buffer

I now accept very tight timelines only with explicit buffers and a clearly defined scope.

Scope and fee belong at the start

I clarify deliverables and compensation in writing before the first sketch.

Boundaries protect the project

A realistic view of my own capacity protects quality, not just myself.
