Hiro connects businesses with sporting heroes through engaging experiences, and it challenged Siegel+Gale to develop a robust strategy to lay the foundation for future growth.
The brand needed a clear philosophy and new identity to better express the Hiro story to prospects and heroes alike. The brand foundation also needed the flexibility to reach beyond sports and borders as the business expanded.
Inspired by the belief that people grow through interacting and exchanging ideas, and taking into account Hiro's spirit for sharing, Siegel+Gale created a new brand purpose: To lift people higher.
To complement this brand purpose, Siegel+Gale also created a new visual identity for Hiro. The refreshed logo embodies a podium with the "H" mounted upon the "I", representing moments of elevation and achievement. The rippled pattern employed in the identity is an abstraction of the energy created when people meet and share stories.
The new brand identity has been rolled out across Hiro's digital channels and all corporate collateral and is soon to be unveiled at Hiro House—the brand's pop-up private members club in London.
"Working with the Hiro team has lived up to their new brand promise–brilliant exchanges between extraordinary people," says Liana Dinghile, Group Strategy Director at Siegel+Gale. "Hiro had a powerful story and a desirable business proposition; they just needed a platform to share it with the world and to provide a springboard for future growth. We're really excited for what comes next."
"The new Hiro brand captures exactly how we see ourselves and the people we connect with, in both the worlds of sports and business. We hope to inspire and motivate people to become the best they can be through our series of curated events," commented Hiro CEO and former Welsh rugby captain Andy Moore.
