IAG-ng
Repositioning with attitude and character
IAG-ng 's repositioning transforms a classic B2B image into a contemporary, slightly B2C-oriented presence. The goal was to maintain scientific rigor while simultaneously establishing a visual and communicative " cool factor" —to stand out in the industry and among customers, attract young talent, and strengthen internal identification with the company.
The result: A presentation that makes the privately run character of a company with approximately 40 employees visible, without losing professionalism – and thereby fosters a new form of pride and belonging within the team.
Image transformation
Company brochure
The starting point for the image transformation was deliberately chosen to be classic: a company brochure served as a creative and strategic foundation to develop key elements of the repositioning – without changing the existing logo.
- Development of additional branding elements to expand the visual identity
- Collection and structuring of all relevant content for the new website
- Production of graphic content that visually conveys the new tone.
- Reflection on the company's self-perception and desired external image
Image transformation
Company brochure
The brochure thus became an internal compass – a medium that helped define attitude, style and strategic direction.
Image transformation
Product brochures
The products were re-photographed and converted into a presentation format according to the style guide of the company brochure.
The account transfer
Website
Based on the content developed for the company brochure, the next step was the design of the new website. The brochure served as a strategic guideline and content foundation.
Exhibition stand Germany
Automotive Testing Expo Europe
The trade fair appearance was developed as an integrated overall concept that takes all relevant touchpoints into account.
USA booth
Automotive Testing Expo (NOVI-MICHIGAN)
The insights gained in Germany formed the basis for a further developed trade fair concept in the USA — with a clear focus on sales and portfolio structure.
Marketing material USA
Cultural codes and anchor points interwoven with brand identity
Specifically tailored marketing materials were developed for the US market. Well-known events served as visual anchors and were reinterpreted with IAG-ng's brand identity.
Cultural adaptation
Marketing material USA
The American imagery and marketing materials were deliberately designed to reflect familiar US brands and visual references in the IAG-ng documents. This was intended to appeal to the market with a sense of affinity and cultural connection.
Cultural adaptation
Marketing material USA
IAG-ng's product campaigns also deliberately focused on "Americanization" in order to make the European brand culturally compatible and relevant for the US market.
Lifestyle-inspired uniforms
In addition to the classic corporate-branded uniforms and workwear – consisting of polos, T-shirts, hoodies, caps, and jackets – special signature T-shirt graphics were developed. These are not only used internally but are also specifically marketed as high-quality promotional gifts.
USA-inspired T-shirt
Summer T-shirt
To build bridges between the European and US teams, special T-shirt designs were created: The IAG-ng Hotroad presents itself in a classic, romantic US look – with palm trees, beach and summery lightness.
EU-inspired T-shirt
Winter T-shirt
The European-inspired T-shirt depicts the IAG-ng Hotroad in a snowy Alpine style. A visual statement for shared identity and cultural diversity.
IAG-ng Cycle Team Kit
Since many IAG-ng members are passionate about cycling, the company decided to develop and provide its own IAG-ng Cycle Team Kits. This strengthens the progressive, dynamic company image at the regional level and intensifies internal brand loyalty.
The Recruitment Design Line
To attract young talent to IAG-ng at universities of applied sciences and technical colleges, a special recruiting design concept was developed. The campaign involved eye-catching posters and targeted magazine placements.
Cut and Paste
Grunge meets brand structure
The expanded branding and its elements resulted in a "cut-and-paste" look that functions as a "graphic hook" – familiar in style, as the target group of lifestyle and sports brands knows it, reimagined in the context of IAG-ng.
flexible & modular
Recruitment Graphic Hook
The design of the “Recruitment Graphic Hook” was conceived in such a way that it could be used modularly in a wide variety of layouts and formats – from print to digital to social media.
