A critical part of the reinvention of the ACCO Brands Europe brand portfolio, this most British of brands needed a clear identity and strategic position in a stable of many other equally well known industry leaders.

Our Insights

Alongside the Swedish Rapid and German Leitz; Rexel could easily own the British-ness of the sector. Avoiding phone boxes, Union flags and bowler hats the new identity reflected a modern looking Britain with strong innovation and a wide range of products.

“Working is really constructive, down to earth but with a real creative angle, that comes in at a level where we can use it. They really understand processes of how we work – what our end users are about and how our trade works. There is a thorough understanding, strategically and conceptually.”
