After many years of successful organic growth, it was time to take stock and regroup – Literally.

B&D completely overhauled their identity, from naming and visual identity to brand architecture, vision, values, purpose, marketing materials and tone of voice.

What’s in a name?

Naming a business is never an easy task, and it is even harder when that company is in a saturated market like the medical or life sciences sector. Think of a company name and it is probably already taken.

On top of this, we needed a name that reflect the proposed brand personality, resonate with six very different business units, and ultimately be available.

After 200+ naming options, we agreed upon Acacium – a coined name derived from the acacia tree. The name embodies growth, strength, strong roots and fortitude.

With the name set, we next moved onto the visual identity.
