Creating a new brand that will offer a product portfolio broader than any other in the educational sector

The International Education group within Cambridge University Press & Assessment was formed from the merging of multiple businesses and brands, to bring together a breadth of products and services for schools and governments.

There was a need for a clear and motivating purpose, a competitive positioning and an architecture for sub-brands, to enable customers to understand and engage with the new brand.

What we did

Defined brand purpose and vision

Co-created with stakeholders from across the new group, using Think, Feel, Do to understand the change in attitude and behaviour the new brand needed to drive.

Refined concepts and architecture with customers

Explored scenarios to define the role of the new group, then ran focus groups and government interviews to test relevance, understanding and appeal.

Created a brand framework to guide activity

Brought it all together into a strategic framework summarising the brand, and created execution briefs to bring it to life.

Outcome

The new Cambridge International Education brand has a distinct, market-leading positioning.

A single vision unites the constituent parts of the group. A clear, simplified purpose articulates and amplifies the power of the new organisation, ultimately enabling the brand to do more to support a wider set of customers.

Stakeholders are bought-in to the vision, which is being used as a rallying cry for their teams across the world.
