The challenge

Applied InsurTech needed a brand identity and messaging framework that could clearly communicate a complex commercial insurance technology offer.

The business provides technology that helps insurers and MGAs bring products to market more quickly, reduce costs and streamline the distribution of commercial insurance. The challenge was turning that specialist proposition into a brand that felt credible, modern and easy to understand for a commercial insurance audience.

They needed more than a logo. They needed the thinking behind it: a clear proposition, audience understanding, messaging, visual identity and practical brand tools that could support the business as it launched into the market.

Our approach

We began with a brand and messaging workshop, helping the Applied InsurTech team draw out what the business does, who it needs to reach, what makes the offer different and how the brand should be perceived.

The workshop looked at the business proposition, audience needs, USPs, competitor context, objections, tone of voice, brand personality and practical use cases for the identity. This gave the creative work a clear strategic foundation before any visual routes were developed.

From there, we created a messaging framework that included the vision, mission, strapline, short and long descriptive messaging, USPs and FAQs. This helped turn a technical offer into clearer language that could be used consistently across the website, sales materials and wider communications.

We then developed logo concepts and visual identity routes, exploring how the brand could express speed, integration, technology, confidence and accessibility. The final identity work included logo development, colour palette, typography and brand guidance, giving Applied InsurTech a more professional and usable brand system.

Impact

The project gave Applied InsurTech a clearer, more confident way to present its business to the commercial insurance market.

By combining strategic workshop insight, messaging development and visual identity design, we helped turn a complex proposition into a brand that was easier to understand and use, and better aligned with the business’s ambitions.

The work created a stronger foundation for Applied InsurTech’s market presence. It supported a clearer website proposition, more consistent communications and a visual identity that could help the business demonstrate greater credibility.
