    La mission des agences de communication a d’abord été de transmettre le message d’un émetteur à un récepteur. Puis, elles ont élargi le spectre de leur expertise en tenant compte du mot « communicare », venu du latin au 14e siècle et qui veut dire « être en relation avec ». Elles ont donc intégré les notions de partage et d’engagement. En élargissant notre point de vue, nous nous rendons compte qu’il s’agit de l’une des motivation principale de l’être humain, communiquer; créer le contact et interagir avec sa famille, ses amis, ses collègues, ses clients, etc. Sans la communication, point de famille qui s’épanouit, point d’entreprise qui prospère, point de Société qui fonctionne. La vision de Rhino Universal est de revenir à ces fondamentaux en utilisant toutes les technologies actuelles afin de répondre à vos besoins multiples et toujours plus pointus, sans jamais oublier que la technologie n’est rien sans l’idée de base, le concept percutant, et la raison d’être de tout un chacun ; toucher les autres intellectuellement et émotionnellement.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Brand creation companies in Switzerland employ a multifaceted approach to ensure consistency across various marketing channels and touchpoints. This consistency is crucial for building a strong, recognizable brand identity in the Swiss market, which is known for its multilingual and multicultural characteristics. Here's how these companies maintain brand consistency:

1. Developing Comprehensive Brand Guidelines

Swiss brand creation agencies create detailed brand guidelines that serve as a cornerstone for consistency. These guidelines typically include:

  • Visual elements: logo usage, color palettes, typography, and imagery styles
  • Tone of voice: language, messaging, and communication style
  • Brand values and personality: core principles that guide all brand expressions
  • Multilingual considerations: adaptations for German, French, Italian, and English
2. Implementing Brand Management Systems

Many Swiss agencies utilize advanced brand management software to centralize and control brand assets. These systems ensure that all team members and external partners have access to the latest, approved brand materials, reducing the risk of inconsistencies.

3. Cross-Channel Campaign Planning

Brand creation companies in Switzerland develop integrated marketing strategies that consider all relevant channels simultaneously. This approach ensures that campaigns maintain a consistent message and look across digital platforms, print media, outdoor advertising, and other touchpoints.

4. Regular Brand Audits

Swiss agencies conduct periodic brand audits to assess consistency across all marketing efforts. These audits help identify any deviations from the brand guidelines and allow for timely corrections.

5. Training and Education

To maintain consistency, brand creation companies provide comprehensive training to their clients' internal teams and external partners. This ensures that everyone involved in brand communication understands and can effectively apply the brand guidelines.

6. Adaptive Design Approaches

Given Switzerland's diverse linguistic landscape, agencies employ adaptive design strategies to ensure brand consistency while catering to different language regions. This might include creating flexible layouts that accommodate varying text lengths in German, French, Italian, and English.

7. Digital Asset Management (DAM)

Swiss brand creation companies often implement DAM systems to store, organize, and distribute brand assets. This centralized approach ensures that all stakeholders have access to the correct, up-to-date materials, maintaining consistency across channels.

8. Consistency Across Customer Touchpoints

Brand creation agencies in Switzerland pay special attention to maintaining consistency across all customer touchpoints, including:

  • Website and mobile apps
  • Social media profiles
  • Email marketing
  • Customer service interactions
  • Physical stores or offices
  • Product packaging
9. Localization with Consistency

Given Switzerland's unique market, brand creation companies skillfully balance localization needs with global brand consistency. They ensure that brands resonate with local Swiss audiences while maintaining their core identity.

By employing these strategies, brand creation companies in Switzerland effectively ensure consistency across different marketing channels and touchpoints, creating strong, cohesive brand experiences that resonate with the diverse Swiss audience.



Swiss businesses often encounter several challenges when collaborating with brand creation agencies. Understanding these obstacles can help companies navigate the process more effectively and achieve better results. Here are the most common challenges and how to address them:

  1. Language and Cultural Nuances: Switzerland's multilingual and multicultural environment presents unique challenges. Agencies must navigate linguistic differences (German, French, Italian, and English) and cultural nuances across regions. To overcome this, businesses should seek agencies with proven experience in cross-cultural branding and multilingual capabilities.
  2. Balancing Tradition and Innovation: Swiss brands often struggle to maintain their heritage while staying relevant in a rapidly evolving market. The challenge lies in creating a brand that respects Swiss traditions yet appeals to a modern, global audience. Look for agencies that demonstrate a track record of successfully blending traditional values with contemporary design and messaging.
  3. Budget Constraints: Switzerland's high cost of living translates to higher agency fees. Many businesses, especially SMEs, find it challenging to allocate sufficient budget for comprehensive brand creation. To address this, companies should clearly define their priorities and consider phased approaches to brand development.
  4. Defining Brand Identity in a Competitive Market: Switzerland's reputation for quality and precision sets high expectations. Brands must differentiate themselves in a market saturated with excellence. Seek agencies that offer thorough market research and competitive analysis to carve out a unique brand position.
  5. Aligning Agency Vision with Company Goals: Miscommunication or misalignment between the agency's creative vision and the company's business objectives can lead to unsatisfactory results. To mitigate this, establish clear communication channels, set measurable goals, and regularly review progress.
  6. Navigating Regulatory Compliance: Switzerland's strict regulations, especially in sectors like finance and healthcare, can limit creative expression. Choose agencies familiar with Swiss regulatory landscapes to ensure brand compliance while maintaining creativity.
  7. Digital Integration: While Switzerland boasts high digital adoption rates, some traditional businesses struggle to integrate digital elements into their brand strategy. Look for agencies with strong digital capabilities to ensure your brand thrives across all platforms.
  8. Measuring ROI: Quantifying the return on investment for branding initiatives can be challenging. Work with agencies that provide clear KPIs and measurement strategies to track brand performance over time.

To overcome these challenges, Swiss businesses should:

  • Thoroughly vet agencies for their local expertise and cross-cultural capabilities
  • Clearly communicate business goals, budget constraints, and expectations
  • Seek agencies with a balanced portfolio showcasing both traditional and innovative branding
  • Prioritize agencies with strong research capabilities and industry-specific knowledge
  • Establish regular check-ins and feedback loops throughout the branding process
  • Consider long-term partnerships to ensure consistent brand evolution and management

By being aware of these common challenges and taking proactive steps to address them, Swiss businesses can forge more successful partnerships with brand creation agencies, resulting in powerful, authentic, and effective brand identities that resonate in the Swiss market and beyond.



Brand creation companies in Switzerland approach rebranding projects differently from creating entirely new brands, as each process has its unique challenges and objectives. Here's a breakdown of the key differences:

Aspect Rebranding New Brand Creation
Starting Point Existing brand equity, history, and customer perceptions Blank slate, no existing associations
Research Focus Current brand perception, competitor analysis, reasons for rebranding Market gaps, target audience needs, competitive landscape
Strategy Evolution vs. revolution, deciding what to keep and what to change Building a completely new identity and positioning
Stakeholder Involvement Higher, including existing customers and employees Primarily internal team and potential target audience
Risk Management Mitigating potential loss of existing customers and brand recognition Focusing on market entry and building brand awareness

In Switzerland, brand creation companies take a particularly nuanced approach to rebranding, considering the country's multicultural and multilingual environment. They often focus on:

  • Cultural Sensitivity: Ensuring the rebrand resonates across German, French, Italian, and Romansh-speaking regions.
  • Tradition vs. Innovation: Balancing Switzerland's reputation for tradition and precision with the need for modern, dynamic branding.
  • Sustainability: Incorporating eco-friendly elements, as Swiss consumers are increasingly environmentally conscious.
  • Global Appeal: Maintaining international relevance while emphasizing Swiss quality and heritage.

For example, when Swisscom rebranded in 2017, the telecom giant focused on simplifying its visual identity while maintaining its core Swiss values. The company worked with brand creation agencies to evolve its logo and color scheme, ensuring the new brand remained familiar to existing customers while appealing to a younger, more digitally-savvy audience.

In contrast, when creating entirely new brands, Swiss brand creation companies have more creative freedom but face the challenge of standing out in a saturated market. They often emphasize:

  • Innovative Storytelling: Crafting unique brand narratives that capture the essence of Swiss innovation and quality.
  • Digital-First Approach: Developing brands with a strong digital presence to cater to the tech-savvy Swiss market.
  • Niche Positioning: Identifying and targeting specific market gaps, especially in luxury, technology, or sustainable sectors.

According to a 2024 survey by the Swiss Brand Institute, 68% of Swiss companies that underwent rebranding saw an increase in customer engagement, compared to 42% of newly created brands in their first year. This underscores the importance of leveraging existing brand equity in rebranding projects.

In conclusion, while both processes require creativity and strategic thinking, rebranding in Switzerland demands a more delicate balance between heritage and innovation, whereas new brand creation allows for more experimentation but requires more effort in establishing market presence and credibility.
