Brand Strategy for leading training provider Babington

Under fresh ownership, Babington faced the imperative to propel their business to greater heights, driven by ambitious plans for the future.

Chaos played a vital role in offering valuable insights into brand perception, encompassing both internal and external perspectives. These insights were instrumental in shaping the development of a well-defined go-to-market value proposition, targeted propositions for specific audiences, a fresh brand narrative, unique selling propositions (USPs), and compelling Reasons to Believe messages.

During the initial brand strategy phase led by Chaos, a new company Brand DNA was established, serving as both a guiding light and a creative brief for the brand refresh. The outcome is a revitalized brand that is uniquely distinctive, captivating, and strongly aligned with customer value, serving as the foundation for all visual and verbal communications. The brand now exudes a sense of ownership, empowering Babington to stand out in the market.

Embracing a vibrant personality, the new brand incorporates three primary colors: orange, mint, and rose. These warm, bold, and contemporary hues distinctively differentiate Babington from its competitors, harmonising seamlessly with other brand elements.

Following the branding phase, Chaos embarked on a comprehensive website redevelopment project, placing user experience (UX) at the forefront...meticulously identifying and preserving historically successful content while revamping and redefining elements that impeded positive user journeys.

To empower the Babington marketing team, a versatile design system was created, enabling the effortless creation and management of content-rich "lead generation" pages. The revamped WordPress build seamlessly integrated eCommerce functionality and connected with Babington's chosen marketing automation platforms, CRM, and applicant tracking system.

The outcome has been remarkable, with the website witnessing a substantial increase in traffic, extended dwell times, faster loading speeds, and a surge in lead generation with enhanced lead quality.
