case study
Hexub
overview
Hexub is a UK-based private equity group that invests in entrepreneurs building emerging technologies.
As a recently launched brand, they wanted to build their online presence as soon as possible to connect with their digitally focused market. To do this, they approached us to help launch a brand new site for their brand-new brand.
A unique Niche
Creating benchmarks and baselines
We aim to establish a clear and competitive research framework, benchmark, and baseline.
Uncharted Territory
Inventing a brand new brand
While the team had long been experienced with investors, this brand is unique. We have to conceptualize and execute brand content, identity, and guidelines from the ground up.
A new demographic
The new language of a new audience
Hexub has built their portfolio through their network but they now seek to expand their connections by reaching a new demographic. This challenged us to analyze, target, and tailor the offering from scratch.
Approach & Insight
