IDENTITY

CORPORATE BRANDING

  • CONFIGURA IS UNIQUE

    Our philosophy, people, products and plans for the future set us apart in the marketplace. We strive to convey our unique value proposition – what we offer to the outside world – through our brand. Our company identity helps us to define our brand and how we differentiate from competitors. Use it to position and strengthen the Configura brand and our software sub-brands in the marketplace and community.

  • MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY AND REINFORCE CREDIBILITY

    Every business needs a strong brand to reinforce credibility and stand out from the crowd. While Configura is unique, we are also growing – adding complexity through language and cultural differences. To create a strong brand globally, we need to embrace these differences while maintaining core consistency between all our offices and messaging.

Brand Architecture

The software brands are sub-brands. These are promoted to users and dealerships. It is important to separate the parent brand and sub-brands in communication so they are not competing with one another.
