What was the objective behind your collaboration?Our entire exercise with CUT THRU was a repositioning of the company coupled with a rebranding. Our organization competed as a challenger brand in the supply chain, and we wanted to elevate our position and proposition by using branding to improve awareness and brand premiums.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?The entire project started with the branding strategy I put together and then provided CUT THR . I provided very clear documentation that highlighted our respect for their team to facilitate a project we could all be proud of. The documentation I provided included research I'd already completed and a competitive audit.
