Marvell
Essential technology, done right
Reimagining a legacy semiconductor brand with partnership at the center
Challenge
Following the introduction of new leadership, Marvell, a 25-year-old semiconductor company, had transformed its business to focus exclusively on infrastructure technology—and they needed to signal that shift to the world.
The new Marvell brand needed to unify multiple mergers and acquisitions that expanded its portfolio, stand out in a competitive landscape and modernize the organization.
Insight
In an industry full of transactional relationships, Marvell’s approach to partnership challenged the status quo and put customers at the center.
With the belief that better partnership is the foundation for building better technology, Marvell’s customer-centric, dynamic approach to working permitted them to stand out for not just what the organization provides to customers but how they uniquely deliver it.
Answer
We worked hand-in-hand with Marvell’s leadership to craft a new brand that reflected the organization’s challenger mentality in the market.
The new brand positioning, “Essential technology, done right,” elevated the role of Marvell as a provider of the essential building blocks that enable the data-driven world we live in. It also honed in on the organization’s customer-centric approach and commitment to long-term partnerships through the phrase “done right,” which speaks to Marvell’s dedication to delivering the best solution for each customer’s needs, while also reflecting the organization’s culture and commitment to creating relationships built on integrity and respect.
