Creating a Single Brand
for a 10-Company Merger

Create a brand strong enough to encapsulate the 
diverse offerings of every company included in the merger—and unique enough to carve out a bold space 
in a crowded market.

The brand platform needed to support the new company’s vertical integration strategy and help it become a leading regional waste services provider—from the curb to the grid.

While some customers prioritize service and reliability from a waste management company, others focus on broader issues like sustainability.

Developing a brand that effectively balanced and supported all these messages wouldn’t be easy. And getting employees with loyalty to their legacy companies to understand and embrace the new brand vision would also be a tough task.

With the name WIN Waste Innovations, we were able to unify a broad set of capabilities into a cohesive brand promise while positioning the new company as an industry innovator.

The use of red as the primary color ensured an ownable, instantly recognizable brand. And with the tagline “Performance for The Planet,” we were able to capture the new company’s commitment to both service and sustainability.
