Rider Motorcycle Insurance Branding
Rebranding & Website Redesign for Rider Insurance while Integrating Plymouth Rock Assurance Brand.
Challenge:
Rider Insurance and Plymouth Rock Assurance represented two ends of the branding spectrum. Rider was synonymous with an "Edgy" image, characterized by a gritty aesthetic that resonated with a specific demographic. In contrast, Plymouth Rock was known as the "Nice" brand, exuding a clean and polished aesthetic that attracted a different segment of the market. Our challenge was to bridge this divide while retaining Rider's edgy heritage and ensuring the loyalty of its existing customer base.
The Solution:
To overcome this challenge, we undertook a comprehensive strategy that incorporated the following key elements:
- Marrying Aesthetics:
We embarked on a meticulous journey to marry the aesthetics of Plymouth Rock and Rider. This involved striking a balance between the clean and gritty, ensuring the fusion felt cohesive and seamless.
- Transforming the Chevron:
The iconic Plymouth Rock Chevron had to undergo a transformation to align with Rider's "Edgy" brand identity. We retained its essence while introducing bold lines and sharper edges that resonated with Rider's edginess.
- Grit Reduction:
Rider's existing brand exuded grittiness, which was toned down to align more closely with Plymouth Rock's clean aesthetic. This transformation involved refining fonts, minimizing distressed textures, and adopting a more polished approach.
- Addressing the Color Palette:
Rider Insurance's muted color palette was overhauled to incorporate Plymouth Rock's vibrant colors. This infusion of freshness breathed new life into Rider's brand while respecting its original identity.
- Streamlining Navigation:
The website's navigation underwent a thorough streamlining process, enhancing user-friendliness. Clear and intuitive menus were introduced, making it effortless for users to access information and services.
- Crafting Clear and Engaging Content:
Content clarity was paramount. We curated engaging visuals and concise, informative content that communicated the brand's message effectively.
- Facilitating Intuitive Call-to-Actions (CTA):
We strategically placed call-to-action buttons and forms to guide users through the website, encouraging them to take desired actions such as requesting quotes or getting in touch with Rider Insurance.
