MERCURY360: Agency Repositioning

From Promotions to 360° Communication, en fanfare!

Context, idea, trivia.

Self-promos are always tricky because it’s difficult to find the right balance between “we’re a serious company” and “we’re also fun, smart & cool!”
 
Luckily, the key people in Mercury were crazy enough to go all in, so we repositioned the agency inside and out.
 
A new brand identity (developed by Grapefruit Design), a series of internal events and a theater play (directed by Claudiu Bleonț) later, Mercury Promotions stepped over the infamous (below the) line and came full circle, becoming Mercury360. Fun times!
