Research reborn

Phoenix Marketing International · Brand identity & communications strategy

Phoenix Marketing International's real differentiator was cultural: a no-nonsense firm that let serious researchers do serious work without the usual agency theater. The rebrand put that identity front and center — a clean new logo and visual style, the tagline "research reborn," and a communications strategy built around a signature content format: blog posts and tweets written as snarky equations ("Research = Dead?"), short, sharp, and inherently shareable. The work translated an internal truth into an external voice, giving a research firm a personality as rigorous and unsentimental as its methods.
