Turning a hospital operator into a healthcare brand
With more than 100,000 employees, Helios is Europe's leading private hospital operator. The company cares for patients at more than 150 hospitals in Germany and Spain. In recent years, Helios has created a unique network of healthcare services that seamlessly provides specialty care to every patient. To emphasize this special position in the market, we gave the brand a complete makeover with a new brand strategy, website, UX, content, and service promise.
Project carried out as Managing Partner at Edenspiekermann.
Communicating change: digital transformation in the public sector
As the public sector in the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia digitizes, the administration and thus all state employees are on the cusp of major cultural change. This transformation is a pressing, but complex endeavor. We developed a broad communication campaign that informs employees and actively involves them in the “narrative” of a digitized administration. Based on a stakeholder analysis, we created buy-in with various activities: a newsletter, a website, and a community of practice.
On behalf of PD – Berater der öffentlichen Hand and in cooperation with LauferNeo.
Relaunching a brand
DER SPIEGEL is Europe’s largest weekly news magazine and has been published since 1947. Over the decades, many print and digital sub-brands and labels emerged, which readers and customers increasingly found confusing. With a team of executives, editors-in-chief, and journalists, we sharpened the brand and realigned it internally for an increasingly digital market. We also cleaned up the brand and product portfolio and adapted to readers’ expectations.

Modernizing a luxury watchmaker’s brand design system
For generations, A. Lange & Söhne watchmakers have pursued one goal: building timepieces that belong to the pinnacle of international watchmaking.
We carefully modernized the brand to highlight not only the technical perfection, but also the emotional appeal of a watch. With the help of a renewed brand design system, the brand now presents itself in a new guise.
