While customer and employee experience and insights can spark excitement and positive feedback, it does not bring the organisation any closer to executing a cohesive and focussed message internally or externally. This requires significant management participation and a dedicated team to manage and align the complex web of interdependent activities, brand assets, systems, processes and priorities. And according to research, Sydney Water’s existing standing amongst customers is undefined and lack potent meaning. Musubi set out to establish a transformation project to help with increased productivity, laser focus on the the new brand purpose, then shape and prepare brand message clarity and a scalable brand idea. Our approach was to define Sydney Water’s authentic foundations and unlock the latent power of Sydney Water. Nothing is worse than trying to impose a brand idea into an organisation. We co-created with Sydney Water to establish an authentic, fact base, and deeply meaningful Brand Idea and Brand Positioning. The result of establishing a clearly memorable definition of the brand from within the organisation ensures fidelity and a sense of truth to decision-making. Musubi translated the different parts of the organisation into a set of brand tools and strategic resources that can be executed consistently and flexibly. Ultimately the approach is to shape the strategic framework, recommendations and directions to provide Sydney Water with the readiness and ability to manage reputation building programs.
