EVERCOAT® Brand Refresh
Brand Refresh
EVERCOAT® partnered with Cincinnati-based agency Hyperquake to modernize & elevate the brand. As part of the refresh, the brand completely overhauled its go-to-market approach, including packaging architecture, communication platforms, and visual identity. The work is underpinned by a new campaign idea, “Beneath the Surface, Beyond the Standard” which speaks to the importance of the brand’s foundational role in the repair process and commitment to the highest-quality work.
“We wanted to re-establish Evercoat’s value proposition – premier performance” noted top marketer Mike Schneider. “The new visual identity brings fresh energy to the brand, drawing on our heritage while also charting a course for future growth.”
Notable changes include:
- End-user friendly GOOD/BETTER/BEST product tiers
- Easy-to-navigate packaging with benefit icons & improved how-to-use application instructions
- New & improved communication platforms including website and socials that simplify the end-user experience and encourage discovery
- Optimized visual identity including logo refinement oriented on speed & performance
“Evercoat is a trusted, timeless leader in the space,” noted Ryan Bedinghaus, Executive Director at Hyperquake. “We’re extremely proud of the work we’ve done with Evercoat – and know that the refresh will positively impact the category as well.”
