Differentiating an industry leader
**THE CHALLENGE** For over 30 years, Greiner Construction has established itself as a leader in commercial construction, recognized for its integrity, quality, and service. Unfortunately, their competitors also share these attributes, making it challenging for potential clients to choose the right contractor. Additionally, Greiner's brand identity was outdated and in need of revitalization. The team at Greiner was aware of this issue. **THE SOLUTION** To increase their market presence, it was essential to identify and articulate what differentiated Greiner from the rest. The firm's "Trends Presentations," educational approach, and focus on empowering employees all highlighted a common theme: Education. **SCOPE** Brand Strategy - In-Depth Interviews - Market Research - Brand Positioning - Brand Tribe Design - Brand Messaging - Activation Planning Brand Activation - Brand Identity Development - Website Design - Thought Leadership - Brand Tracking **RESULT** We aimed to reflect the brand’s new focus with a clean, bold, and approachable identity. The word "Construction" was removed from the logo to streamline branding across different platforms. The logo was modernized and simplified, with a strong emphasis on the introduction of Greiner Blue, evoking a sense of openness. The new messaging fostered a sense of community, shifting the focus away from the company itself. This new direction is illustrated by their 'In Practice' web series (produced by vnzo), which regularly informs the construction industry. **OUTCOME** Today, Greiner stands out as the only general contractor dedicated to building community through education.
