The situation
Where they started
An established telecoms provider moving into renewable energy — two markets, one team, and a brand built for only the first of them.
The challenge
What it was costing them
Expanding into a genuinely different sector puts a brand under strain. Lean too far towards telecoms and the renewables offer looks like a side hustle; lean the other way and you undermine the business that pays the bills. The risk was ending up with two half-convincing identities instead of one strong one.
The approach
How we worked through it
Two buyers, one business
We worked through who actually buys each service and found the common ground — both are infrastructure decisions bought on trust and long-term reliability, not on price alone. That became the spine of the positioning.
A brand with room for both
Identity and messaging designed so telecoms and renewables sit under one roof without either looking like an afterthought — shared values, distinct proof.
Sequenced, not simultaneous
A prioritised growth roadmap setting out which digital moves to make in which order for each market, so the expansion could be funded progressively rather than all at once.
The result
What changed
One company with one clear story — credible to a business buying connectivity on Monday and solar on Tuesday, without either offer feeling like a bolt-on.
What's next
The relationship carries on
The roadmap is the live document — we review it against what the market actually does, rather than treating it as a plan that was right once.
