Digital applications with added value
These applications, called “social objects”, extend the corporate brand, see Stahlo Steel Service Center.
„Stahl steht am Beginn einer Vielzahl von industriellen Wertschöpfungsketten. Die Transformation der Stahlindustrie ist daher die Voraussetzung für eine Dekarbonisierung der gesamten Prozesskette.“
Hans Jürgen Kerkhoff, Präsident und Hauptgeschäftsführer der Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl sowie Vorsitzender des Stahlinstituts VDEh a.D.
Brand-Strategy
A unique selling proposition, values, mission and vision are crucial for corporate communication. In view of challenges such as climate protection targets, social networks, artificial intelligence and global developments, they need to be reinforced by special measures. This is where the dynamic positioning of 'brand extension' comes into play: it paves the way for an authentic communication strategy that goes far beyond the brand essence. A strategic path is developed with innovative applications, the so-called Social-Objects. This strategy brings the communication of the steel industry and the central topic of climate change directly into the hearts and minds of people through convincing applications.
Lighthouse-Project
Radiance for the industry. In collaboration with Stahlo, three social objects were developed that build on one another and not only ensure greater transparency in the steel industry, but also initiate pioneering communication. These innovative tools set new standards and inspire the entire industry to be more open and engage in dialog.
