CHALLENGE

AWO – Upper Bavaria became a pro bono customer in August 2008. In December 2008, AWO approached us with a complex task: Creating a “younger,“ more modern brand image for AWO’s activities in the child and adolescent segments.

STRATEGY

At the same time, AWO started broadening their activities in these segments, based on their expansion of childcare offerings. Communication materials created in line with AWO’s new brand positioning supported AWO’s high-level efforts, e.g. negotiations with external business partners (municipalities, parents, etc.), and internal communications. Keeping in mind all these factors and communication channels, we had to present the AWO BV OBB brand in the child and youth care segments accordingly.

RESULTS AND ROI

The new strategy was implemented in a wide range of internal and external communication materials for AWO – Upper Bavaria.

The Framework Concept for Children’s Day Care Facilities image brochure was officially introduced at an expert symposium on AWO’s children’s day care facilities April 2009. It was embraced with great enthusiasm by the staff.
The new image brochure helped AWO win new sponsorship contracts.

CREATIVE CONCEPT

We created an AWO mailing campaign for World Children’s Day in September, which AWO used to present itself to communities in Upper Bavaria. While conceptualizing the new brand strategy, we conducted additional interviews and workshops with AWO’s upper management and employees in youth services. These interviews represented the new strategy’s starting point and were supplemented by extensive analysis of target demographics and AWO’s competition in this segment.

The first public implementation of the “new look” for AWO – Upper Bavaria’s youth offering came with the release of the revamped brochure Framework Concept for Children’s Day Care Facilities. This image brochure was reworked editorially as well as graphically to match the new brand strategy. Threeview then created a mailing to accompany AWO’s new brochure, used to apply for sponsorship of facilities across Upper Bavaria.
