Discovering a whole new course

We established a deep understanding of Imperial’s market, audience, and internal culture to identify insights and opportunities for growth and brand identity transformation.

Driving for opportunities

We began by conducting in-person workshops with Imperial’s leadership to gain insights into their operational dynamics and cultural values. We examined their B2B and distributor relationships to understand how they were currently appreciated. This was followed by extensive market research, consumer surveys, and third-party data analysis to identify new target audiences and growth opportunities. We focused on uncovering the unique differentiators in their technical product design and craftsmanship.Collaborating closely with the leadership team, we refined and articulated Imperial’s vision for the future. This holistic approach ensured that we could develop strategic insights and create a culture manual to support the necessary change management for aligning the entire company with the new brand identity.

Our comprehensive efforts culminated in the development of strategic insights and a culture manual that would ready Imperial’s workforce for a new consumer-facing identity. By understanding the company’s unique craftsmanship and technical excellence, we helped Imperial articulate their brand narrative and vision for the future. This enabled them to begin aligning their sales and marketing functions for deeper connections with new audiences in and beyond the golf industry.

These strategic insights provided Imperial with the tools to penetrate new markets effectively, fostering loyalty and advocacy among consumers. Ultimately, this sets the stage for Imperial’s transformation from a behind-the-scenes manufacturer to a prominent consumer brand with a distinct and recognizable presence.

Turning the signature into a vibe

We identified and developed personas for new audiences, aligning creative efforts to engage customers both within and beyond the golf industry.

Swinging for excellence

We explored new audiences and developed detailed personas to guide future creative efforts. Through extensive experimentation with language, visuals, and concepts, we tested and refined our approach. This involved creating multiple iterations of potential brand expressions and testing them for resonance and impact. Collaborating closely with Imperial’s team, we aimed to create an identity that resonated with their existing culture.Further focus groups and testing helped shape a direction that would appeal to new audiences. This iterative process allowed us to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments, ensuring the final creative direction was both innovative and authentic. The goal was to create a brand identity that could serve as a platform for future growth and engagement.
