Buying second-hand IT material to give hardware a second life, that’s what Ecubel does. Since 1985. Talking about pioneers. To stay ahead of competitors, as the Belgian market leader, they were looking for ways to communicate more strategically. On top of that they were excited to spread their wings in the rest of Europe. Wishlisted: a positive, warm and distinctive brand story to highlight the warm and circular characteristics of Ecubel.
let’s rebrand
Roll up those sleeves, sharpen your focus. Based on Jo’s short sustainability scan, we developed a brand strategy and started to rebrand. The central message came to life with the new baseline ‘Making your hardware count’. Ecubel? That’s circularity, inclusion and a lot of positive impact.

Showpiece of the entire rebranding? A new website fitting the fresh and improved brand identity. Team content started writing and translated the sustainability approach into a strong, international brand story. Including a key word search and integrated SEO copywriting. While graphic design went all loose to create a fitting web design.
