IVY EXEC  /  CLARIFYING BRAND VALUE AND EXPERIENCE

 
 

Ivy Exec is an highly exclusive career service with over 600,000 members worldwide. Due to accelerated growth and the incremental addition of new services and features, the brand’s core value proposition -- a site dedicated to successful, experienced professionals pursuing the next stage of their career development -- was clouded due to poor site design and lack of clear messaging at both the brand and product/service levels.

Souter/Partners worked closely with the leadership team at Ivy Exec to clarify and align the brand at multiple levels -- both visually and verbally. Through positioning development, audience segmentation strategies, and product messaging hierarchies, a long-term foundation was developed to clearly express the unique value of the brand to both members and prospects. Additionally, a completely new, clean and bold visual design was created for the site to ensure competitive differentiation and organize all the site’s features and functionalities in a clear and energizing way.
