SYLVAIN

Amplifying excellence

When SYLVAIN came to futurefactor, the independent brand design consultancy had already built an enviable reputation for an ability to solve complex business problems, develop brands and re-imagine products.

The company’s ask was to take this story and amplify it, introducing SYLVAIN to a broader audience of decision makers globally and, ultimately, to deliver greater growth.

Strategy

We worked closely with SYLVAIN CEO Alain Sylvain to arrive at a strategy and story designed to move the brand beyond its specialism into a broader business conversation.

Our approach was to strengthen SYLVAIN's position as a best-in-class authority on brand strategy, innovation and culture. How? By raising the profile of SYLVAIN's equity projects, therefore strengthening the brand’s claim of industry excellence across the creative sector and beyond.

Additionally, we sought to raise the profile of Alain Sylvain as a thought leader within entrepreneurial, business, strategy and innovation circles.

Content

Over three years we catapulted the SYLVAIN story across an ever-greater proportion of business and mainstream press as well as relevant podcasts and stages. As SYLVAIN's impact on business has grown, we have focused on its role helping brands find their purpose, and showcased the company’s status as a Certified B Corporation.

A strong focus on podcasts, interviews and on-stage talks positioned Alain Sylvain as an influencer in his field and created a platform for other stakeholders to amplify the brand story. Meanwhile we built on the company’s existing track record with a series of announcements that capitalized on momentum created by US growth.
