Client: Generali Group Website: generali.com Services: Strategy, Branding, Packaging Brief In 2014 Generali Group opened Generali Academy aimed to train their best national and international managers to become the new generation of corporate leaders. The HR department of the company requested to structure and design an internal brand new communication strategy and identity to create engagement during the online e-learning platform and offline training sessions and corporate events. Brand Strategy After the Brand Workshop, we identified all the unique aspects of the Academy and created a clear strategy to guide all the branding process.

Brand Identity We worked on different namings based on memorability and coherence with the tone of voice of Generali Group. Regarding the visual identity, even tho the brand book of the company (made by Landor) was very strict, we succeeded in creating a secondary color palette that was complementary with the main one and the guidelines of Generali Group. Customised Illustrations After a long selection of illustrators, we hired Ray Oranges represented by the creative agency Machas London to develop a series of customised illustrations to visually describe the different training courses and the energy of Generali Academy. Result The total branding project was developed in coherence with the brand strategy of Generali Group and with the limits of brand identity. The system has been applied to all the communication material and declined on the different touchpoints, digital and not, as well as to an illustrative video about the corporate goals.
