StemCord is a Cord Blood Bank headquartered in Singapore and founded by a group of renowned and experienced medical oncologists, haematologists and physicians. After 20 years of operation, they realised that they need to catch up with their competitors in the branding department.
Mutant took StemCord through a comprehensive Brand Audit to identify key areas to address in the branding exercise. We began to craft new applications that positioned StemCord as a clinical-yet-approachable brand, by retaining its legacy-filled logo and introducing softer and brighter colours. We developed the key messaging, brand voice and identity to better resonate with StemCord’s three equally vital target audiences. Mutant is currently still working with StemCord, supporting their expansion and growth through PR communications support and content creation.
