SQLI Digital Belgium was excited to execute the digital journey of creating APS'S branding, developing a cutting-edge website and boosting their presence on social media. Get ready to be energized!

A strong positioning

When a brand encompasses multiple sub-brands or divisions, it's crucial to establish a strong brand architecture and define the relationship between these brands. APS, a true 'House of brands,' proudly includes Panasonic, eneloop, and Blaupunkt, with each sub-brand retaining its unique visual identity. We’ve positioned the mother brand which formed the basis for working out the brand personality.

A spark of excellence

Defining the APS brand personality

Before embarking on the branding journey, it was essential to define the APS brand personality. SQLI and APS collaborated closely to uncover the brand's principles and core values. The APS brand revolves around four guiding principles: Excellence, Sustainability, Innovation & Exploration, and User-Orientation. Without capturing the brand personality, we would never find the correct verbal and visual identity. 

The art of energy 

Creating a striking visual identity

With one predetermined main color and a logo provided by APS, our empowered art director worked tirelessly to craft a visually captivating brand identity. The process included several letter marks based on the existing logo, a solid brand architecture for the sub-brands, primary and secondary colors, a hierarchy of fonts, consistent icons, a style and mood board for imagery, and distinct design elements known as "flows”. The result has been compiled in a detailed brand book that beautifully harmonizes all these elements into an electrifying composition.

Empowering dealers with a dynamic website 

The new APS website, powered by Drupal, serves as a comprehensive hub for dealers in the first place. It provides them with crucial information about APS and its sub-brands. The SQLI developers and designers have used the branding as their bible. On the website APS features all the products, an extensive FAQ section, SEO-proof blog posts, news updates, and even APS job opportunities
