When purchasing consultants are well advised: brand relaunch for Drozak

For more than 20 years, Drozak has specialised in innovative methods for sustainable cost reductions and efficiency gains in purchasing. This does not mean that the average consumer gets bargain tips for frozen pizza, but that professionals can negotiate even better terms for their orders of enormous volume. How does it work? Drozak knows and masters all the promising strategies and tactics.

The new brand identity

No room for negotiation: the new corporate design is at the heart of the rebranding process. It is meant to be equally convincing in digital and analogue media. Its core element is a key visual that illustrates Drozak's special capabilities without having to say anything explicit about them. It naturally also conveys a certain seriousness and credibility, without drifting into ultra-conservative banking worlds.

Dynamic key visual

When Drozak comes, things go up. The rising line serves as a visual metaphor for the efficiency gains achieved through cost optimisation in purchasing. The fact that it is not used statically but is in constant motion clearly symbolises: at Drozak, we think practically around the clock about how we can help our customers achieve maximum success.

Typography

Typeface of choice: Telegraf. It combines good legibility with enough individuality to be used as a distinctive headline font and to ensure above-average recognisability. In doing so, it manages the balancing act between a geometric and a humanist grotesque. Or, in other words: between the associations of a clear, analytical way of working and a familiar, friendly spirit of cooperation.

Wordmark

Consistency and variability are not a contradiction: here the house typeface Telegraf is used in a slightly modified variant. Even more factual and restrained, yet still unmistakable.

Imagery and style

At Drozak, it is not only numbers that call the shots. We show likeable people who are professional yet approachable. The images convey a natural impression of the strong team spirit and friendly manner that some other consulting firms lack. With Drozak, you work together as equals.

The new digital brand presence

The corporate website introduces the down-to-earth team in order to counteract widespread prejudices against external consultants. We want to make clear: at Drozak, people like you and me work. Alongside competences, cases are presented, as well as a magazine that reports on specialist topics and trends at regular intervals. Also very important for Drozak's plans for the future: the new careers section, to attract the right employees.

HR, you've come to the right place

Finding suitable specialist staff is a major challenge for companies of every kind. Drozak is particularly aware of this, because recruiting employees is one of the declared main goals for the new CD and the website. That is why the careers section makes it as easy as possible for applicants and the HR department. Via a corresponding interface, the necessary documents can be submitted without complication. And they are, in large numbers.

„It may sound almost like a cliché: but after the brand relaunch, our application inbox literally exploded.“

Magazine – content offline and online

As fans of high-quality, tangible promotional materials, we were delighted with this partial assignment: the development of a new magazine format that publishes articles online at regular intervals on the latest trends in purchasing – and is sent out twice a year as an exclusive print product to selected customers and partners.

Social media

Also requested and delivered: the development of a social media kit, so that the client can create effective posts with simple means. Consistently designed templates enable a coherent visual language for posting news, the latest cases and magazine articles, such as interviews and trends. The focus is on LinkedIn as an information platform for regular posts aimed at professionals and potential applicants.

Print – versatile even in 4 colours

Concentrated negotiating power in print too: carefully conceived and designed business media complete Drozak's brand identity across all touchpoints of the customer journey.
