Problem
Create a new fastener and tool brand for construction professionals in the US. The category is crowded with well-known names like Simpson, GRK, Spax, Hillman and Diablo, and the packaging has to stand out on the same shelf as all of them.
Insight
The audience is contractors and carpenters aged 25 to 60, who buy in bulk and prioritize reliability, durability and clear information on the box. The brand had to talk about strength without fuss, the way they work.
Solution
We studied the market end to end, from color palettes to positioning, and mapped the messaging priorities of the top 27 brands. We worked with one of Brazil’s leading design studios and with Venveo, a reference in building-materials marketing in the US, using AI to deepen the research. The result was a bull as the symbol, an electric blue and the line "Compromise Nothing.", applied to packaging, tools, fleet, uniforms and out-of-home.
