Challenge

In May 2019, Informa Tech, a tech-focused professional service business offering various B2B services (media, events, training, and research), acquired IHS Markit Technology, a global leader in research, analysis, and strategic guidance for the technology, media, and telecommunication sectors. This acquisition solidified Informa Tech's position as the fourth-largest research provider in the market, following Gartner, Forrester, and IDC. With Informa Tech already hosting several technology research brands, the merger presented an opportunity to optimise brand strategy for its next phase of growth. More specifically, four key questions needed to be answered: • How many brands do you need? • What should the central story be? • Which brand name/s should you use? • How can we engage and unite +400 analysts and consultants in the process?

Solutions

A unifying idea at the heart of the brand and business

A name that connects the dots

An open and engaging employee-focused programme

A visual break away from category norms
