Strategic Brand Implementation Across Courseware and IP

The challenge with our corporate rebrand was one of systemic integration. An external agency was hired to manage the identity layer (logos, taglines), but their scope failed to account for our core business assets: the Courseware and proprietary Framework content—which includes hundreds of complex infographics and critical slide templates. This created an immediate brand governance crisis, threatening to leave our high-value IP visually fragmented and incompatible with the new corporate identity.

My Role: Bridging Strategy and Systems

As the Senior Designer and Systems Lead on this project, I was responsible for resolving the systemic crisis. I served as the creative and technical bridge between the external agency and our internal product teams. My primary objective was to ensure the new visual identity was robust and scalable enough to extend beyond marketing into our complex content architecture. This was critical for mitigating business risk and preventing future design debt.

Project Methodology: Audit and Governance

This involved leading the external agency through a detailed audit of our unique assets (slide architecture, infographic hierarchy) to understand their specific structural needs. I defined the final brand governance rules for how the new identity would function across all digital and print Courseware templates. My work ensured a frictionless rollout and established clear, systematic brand standards that could be easily adopted by designers and content creators across the entire organization, maintaining 100% brand consistency.
