Year / 2012–ongoing (CI Guidelines update 2017)
In collaboration with Shauna Li Roolvink (Brandhub)
With more than 100 years of service as Sarawak’s energy provider and socio-economic growth engine, Sarawak Energy has expanded into an array of retail energy brands. This created a confusing brand architecture that diminishes the authority of the parent brand and a lack of synergy within the group.
Our team consolidated Sarawak Energy’s many brands into a single entity, minimising internal and external confusion.
Work began with an extensive brand insight exercise carried out by Brandhub, with research focusing on market, customer, company, and brand analysis. The scope of work was then extended to include consumer focus groups; B2B, stakeholder, and management interviews; and a brand and customer experience audit to help all involved parties grasp the transformation.
Shuana is a brand and business strategist who has conducted brand internalisation workshops for our clients, including Bank Negara Malaysia and JKG Land (2016). She has also worked with government agencies and corporations in Malaysia.
Based on the compiled information, our designers then created a new logo and visual identity system, repositioning the company as a modern and reputable authority in meeting Sarawak’s need for reliable, renewable energy. The new positioning also reflects Sarawak Energy’s ambition in becoming a leading energy provider within the surrounding region through the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) strategy, a crucial economic development plan that capitalises on Sarawak’s energy resources.
Our design work covers many applications from main building sign to livery.
