I led the brand overhaul, visual identity, brand look and feel for the Mentors rebrand.

THE mission

Mentors’ challenge was to strengthen their brand in order to drive stronger brand results and give more legitimacy to their product and company.

THE outcome

I examined the category, consumers, competitors and their brand to uncover weaknesses and find opportunities for growth. By doing these important immersion steps, I was able to develop a strategic plan to tell a clear and compelling story of the brand and express the brand through a new visual identity, messaging and communication.

THE LOGO

The new identity — an abstract play on the letter 'M' — sets the foundation for a new future with its iconic shape. The all-lowercase logotype with subtle rounded corners shows friendliness, while the heavy weight of the type conveys a strong voice and personality.

brand colours

The vibrant purple is a color associated with ambition, creativity, and independence.

typeface

Poppins is a geometric sans-serif typeface with a variety of weights and styles to choose from. It was chosen for its high degree of legibility, modern appereance and for the way it complements the Mentors brand elements.

tone of voice & messaging

Innovative and bold. Confident, but not arrogant. Passionate, but never fluffy.

Once we defined the verbal communication style for the Mentors brand, I was able to inject some personality into the language. With a highly technical service such as theirs, it was important for the style to be human, not just descriptive and full of industry jargon. The brand comes to life with clever headlines and body copy, designed to make people think.
