The Challenge
Brand Fragmentation After Rapid Acquisition
Nexus Technologies had grown rapidly through acquisitions, absorbing 12 companies in 5 years. Each acquisition brought its own brand assets, guidelines, and ways of working. The result was chaos: marketing teams in different regions were using different logos, colors varied wildly across materials, and no one knew which assets were current.
Pain Points
- 12 different brand systems from acquired companies
- No single source of truth for brand assets
- Regional teams creating inconsistent materials
- 6-8 weeks to produce a simple campaign
- Legal concerns about trademark compliance
- New employees had no way to learn the brand
The Solution
Unified Brand Operating System
Nexus implemented Brandified as their central brand operating system, consolidating all 12 legacy systems into one platform. The system included strict governance for core brand elements while allowing regional flexibility for market-specific adaptations.
Key Features Implemented
- Single source of truth for all brand assets
- Tiered permissions: global, regional, local
- AI-powered content generation with brand guardrails
- Automated brand compliance checking
- Integration with existing marketing tools
- Real-time analytics on brand usage
