Google Brand Studio

The Problem

Every year, Google delivers its Year in Search video to recap what the world searched for. In 2019, on a hunch, we searched trends in the data around heroes.

Brand Studio partners with the Media Lab team to understand on the backend what users are looking for. Its front end is the data found in Google Trends. We use the data from search queries in the Search video program by Google's Brand Studio.

Sauce Labs

The Problem

Sauce Labs wanted to expand its market to include enterprise-sized organizations

Sauce Labs had established itself as a developer favorite and was beloved by the open source community, but in order to scale and become profitable, they needed to gain credibility with bigger customers. In addition to maintaining their developer, open source, and SMB communities, they needed to shift their messaging to appeal to enterprise concerns.

Strategically, this meant:

Simplify their benefits in marketing to appeal to a bigger audience
Support that shift by upleveling the content visually
Upgrade the tone without alienating their current customers

The Problem

Updating the brand book was a critical component in the journey towards expanding our audience, since as a company we needed to maintain our Sauceiness. This would help us guard the vibrant brand we’d developed, avoid alienating our original user base, and expand into the enterprise landscape. I saw three key elements that would need attention:

Maintain the brand and old community
Expand into enterprise
Simplify for a global audience, investors, and analysts

The Soution

Brand refresh, messaging update, content marketing/production, and creative direction

This approach simultaneously upleveled the website while making it easier to understand for enterprises, analysts, and semi-technical or foreign folks.

Produced brand book with clear editorial guidelines
Added better visuals components and clarify the benefits of testing
Conducted user interviews and translated insights into targetted video content
