As exercise has evolved and customer needs changed, Shapemaster needed to realign their positioning within the market, ensuring they capitalised and continued to generate new opportunities within the health and care sectors. As a result of this realignment, Shapemasters new brand would mark the next stage in the companies evolution and its ambitious growth plans as it strengthens its focus on the active ageing market. This sector is traditionally under-served by the health and fitness industry.
The approach
Firstly a brand workshop was organised to bring together the ideas and thoughts of the stakeholders. These workshops provided the inspiration for the core purpose, messaging, name and strapline for the new brand. In order that we don’t loose brand recognition, the purple and grey were kept from the old Shapemaster brand and in addition a new logo, font and graphical elements were created to support the new strap line, ‘Together in Motion’.
Working ‘Together in Motion’ with the end user, the machines will improve quality of life and promote ‘healthy ageing’ amongst older adults and those with limited mobility. ‘Movement waves’ were created to highlight the interaction of the users with the equipment, creating a unique and compelling visual style which is flexible in their usage weaving in and out of words, images of the equipment and photographs of the end users.
"I've had the pleasure of working with Rick on our recent company rebrand and his attention to detail and dedication from start to finish has been exceptional. Rick is a hugely talented creative and his development of our brand and ideas have ensured we have a wonderful new brand which will help us grow as a business and support our ambitions over many years to come."
