Rebranding a startup is always an exciting challenge, especially when shifting focus from a B2C to a B2B audience. My recent work with NatureThings, a tech company specializing in intelligence greenification of spaces, presented a unique opportunity to reposition their brand identity and optimize it for a new market.
Embracing Iterations
This rebranding exercise mirrored the iterative nature of startups themselves.
One of the biggest challenges was navigating the ever-evolving nature of NatureThings' technology. Just as the founders were constantly iterating and refining the product, we had to adapt our design process to accommodate those changes. This required a delicate balance between producing quick, on-the-fly assets, while also maintaining a cohesive and evolving brand identity that could grow with the company. Creating a brand identity that was both scalable and malleable was crucial, allowing it to evolve alongside the company's growth and expansion.

Instead of relying on typical vector graphics, we incorporated real-life images of thriving plants and people interacting with NatureThings' technology. This added authenticity and helped B2B clients visualize the practical applications of the product. Lush images of plants, with their inherent association with well-being, subtly convey the positive impact of NatureThings' solutions without overshadowing the core focus on technology. These organic elements are juxtaposed with abstract animations and graphical illustrations that represent the cutting-edge technology driving their innovations.
This harmonious blend creates a visual identity that is both calming and captivating, reflecting the company's mission to bridge the gap between nature and technology. By showcasing the warmth and freshness of green spaces alongside a tech-forward aesthetic, we effectively positioned NatureThings as a revolutionary company at the forefront of sustainable innovation.
