How AGNF, with a clear brand architecture, went from an established education provider to a structured umbrella brand with a clear target group approach

AGNF was originally positioned as an education provider for emergency medicine but had significantly expanded its portfolio over the years. Various services were bundled under a single brand without a clear structure or strategic differentiation. Internally, uncertainty arose about what the organization actually stood for and how the individual offerings should be classified. Externally, a precise target group approach was missing, which diluted the sharpness of the brand. In addition, the brand presence did not reflect the professional standard of the services provided. For a continuously growing organization, this lack of clarity increasingly became a strategic risk.

The goal was to strategically reorganize the organization and develop a robust brand architecture. The brand was intended to be clearly positioned in the future and to address different target groups in a differentiated way. At the same time, AGNF as the umbrella brand was meant to gain a stronger profile and provide orientation, while specialized topics could appear independently. The brand presence was designed to make professionalism, future viability, and subject-matter expertise visible. The website was intended to function as the central instrument for information, structure, and brand management.

Clear separation between the umbrella brand and product brands creates strategic orientation for employees and target groups.

A clear positioning strengthens identification and internal alignment.

A professionalized brand presence reflects the organization’s level of performance.

The new website and design system ensure consistent communication across all touchpoints.

STRATEGY

Strategy

Based on an extensive research phase including qualitative target group analysis and employee interviews, a solid foundation for strategic decisions was established. In brand workshops, key brand values, mission, and vision were defined and a clear positioning was developed. The focus was on creating a future-proof brand architecture. The result: AGNF will function as an umbrella brand with clearly defined product brands – including a newly established education brand for emergency medicine. This structure creates strategic clarity and enables more precise target group communication.

DESIGN

Design

The brand appearance of the umbrella brand was carefully professionalized. The existing logo was refined without altering its core visual elements. A consistent design system with defined typography, color palette, imagery, and a distinctive icon language ensures recognizability. A visual “linking element” also connects the logic of the brand architecture within the design. In contrast, the new education brand received a more distinctive and emotional appearance. All elements were documented in a digital style guide, making them scalable and easy to apply.

The relaunch was embedded internally in close collaboration with the client and accompanied by targeted communication. Through a structured launch plan and ongoing design support, employees were actively involved and the new brand structure was made transparent and understandable. The new brand appearance was also implemented consistently across social media and further strengthened.

The website was completely reconceived – from information architecture and wireframes to responsive web design. At the center were clear user guidance, structured content, and the representation of the new brand architecture. The UX design ensures that different target groups can quickly find the offerings relevant to them. The modular design system guarantees consistency in user interface design and creates a robust foundation for future extensions.
