Client testimonial

We recognised that we had a marketing requirement so we commissioned Vicky to fill that gap in 2016. After extensive industry research, she alerted us to market risks and presented a sound business case which confirmed we needed to rebrand. Vicky has involved the team and key clients in the whole rebranding project, from setting up focus groups to test our new company name, to facilitating and coaching our team to co-create our brand values. She designed our logo, website, company presentations and our brochure; not forgetting the organisation, PR and corporate hospitality of our successful launch event. Vicky has kept us in the loop and been conscientious throughout the process.

It is fantastic to find a marketing consultant who is both highly creative and strategic and we now consider Vicky as part of our team. She has made the rebrand an enjoyable project and I am confident to recommend her marketing strategy, rebranding and executive coaching services to other businesses.

Managing Director, Boss Controls

Boss Controls has been Carrob Controls since it was launched in 2010. In the last eight months, we have been on an exciting journey with the team to take them to the next level, as Boss Controls. This is how it all started …
[et_pb_vertical_timeline title=”Boss Controls rebranding timeline” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ text_font_size=”13px” text_line_height=”1.3em” label_font_size=”11px” label_line_height=”1.4em” headings_font_size=”16px” headings_line_height=”1.4em” background_color_gradient_direction=”1″][et_pb_vertical_timeline_item title=”November 2016: Market research and marketing strategy” timeline_label=”November 2016″ use_read_more=”off” animation=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ text_font=”||||” headings_font=”||||”]The Managing Director requested that I fully immerse myself into the world of Building Energy Management Systems, Smart Buildings, Automated Buildings to establish the current market position and develop a robust marketing strategy. The MD had mentioned that a rebrand might be on the cards and he wanted to know if this was the right decision and research confirmed it was the right decision for many reasons..

I designed a Prezi to show the team the plans for 2017 and beyond. To encourage employee engagement, using a traditional whiteboard and coaching techniques, we established what the BMS engineers felt set BOSS Controls apart. I then went away and developed these into brand values which have been embraced by the BOSS team.

We completed the website and brochure copywriting from our market research; applying the benefit of Building Management Systems (BMS). Research showed that the UK’s productivity is lower than other developed countries and it has been proven that optimising BMS can help employees to become more engaged and work smarter, which is essential with Brexit.

We created a poll and invited key customers and all employees to vote for their favourite name. Boss Controls was the outright winner; the BOSS initials stand for Building Optimisation System Solutions so there is a meaning to the name which is important for buy-in.
[/et_pb_vertical_timeline_item][et_pb_vertical_timeline_item title=”April 2017: Design and test the Boss logo” timeline_label=”April 2017: Design and test the Boss logo” use_read_more=”on” read_more_text=”Read more” read_more_url=”https://www.thebrandsurgery.co.uk/creative-design/corporate-identity-logo-design/” animation=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ text_font=”||||” headings_font=”||||”]Now Boss Controls had won approval from customers and employees, we started designing the logo. The logo was to be used on the brochure, website, stationery, promotional merchandise, signage and such like, so it had to work in all size formats. We presented the Senior Management Team with several colour and shape combinations and the logo you see was the winner.

We also organised a photoshoot of Boss’s key clients in London which included The Hippodrome Casino, The Royal Exchange, The OXO Tower and many more. We organised printing and framing of the photos and they are now on display throughout the Boss Controls Office.

We think it looks bold and punchy. What do you think?

Boss Controls has developed an innovative app which helps its BMS engineering team to be more effective in recording works completed and capturing customer sign-off. We are currently in the process of rebranding the app and also the stationery including email signatures.

We organised the drinks, ribbon and the itinerary for the event.

After the event we followed up with a post event press release and followed up on contacts from the successful event.
