Wie Tout Terrain seine Marke von Produktkommunikation zu einer klaren Companion-Story für unterschiedliche Bike-Zielgruppen weiterentwickelt hat

After eight years under the Valeo brand umbrella, Spheros once again stood on its own. While the brand was well known in the market, it was strategically and visually strongly shaped by its former corporate affiliation. What was missing was a clearly defined, independent positioning that conveyed both the brand’s historical trust and its new ambitions. Internal and external audiences needed orientation: what does Spheros stand for today – and where is the company heading? Without a clear brand architecture and a consistent appearance, the newly regained independence risked being perceived not as a strength, but as a disruption.

The goal was to reposition Spheros as a confident premium provider of thermal solutions in the commercial vehicle sector and to establish a clear international profile. The brand was meant to preserve its heritage while presenting itself as future-oriented and innovation-driven. Strategically, the objective was to create a robust brand platform that provides guidance for management, sales, marketing, and HR alike. The new brand appearance was designed to be globally scalable and to offer international subsidiaries clear direction for communication and implementation. The website and key touchpoints were intended to function as effective tools for both sales and brand image.

Clear positioning as an independent premium provider with a distinctive profile in the market for thermal solutions.

Strengthened brand identity and employee engagement through defined brand values and a shared vision.

Consistent, globally applicable brand presence across all touchpoints.

A digital presence with clear user guidance that effectively supports sales and international rollouts.

STRATEGY

Strategy

In interdisciplinary workshops with management, product development, marketing, sales, and HR, the foundations of the new brand strategy were developed. Research and analysis led to a clear positioning as a premium specialist in the field of “Thermal Commercial Vehicles.” Brand values, mission, and vision were refined and embedded in a consistent brand architecture. The defined brand strategy strengthens corporate behaviour and provides orientation both internally and externally. Naming and claiming, along with strategic guardrails, ensure clear differentiation from competitors.

DESIGN

Design

Based on the strategic guiding idea, a distinctive brand design with a clear premium feel was created. Logo development, typography, and the color palette combine familiar elements of the historic brand with a forward-looking visual language. A modular design system with defined key visuals, imagery, iconography, and a clear tone ensures recognizability across all channels. The “Sphere” as a defining design element visually translates the brand’s thermal expertise. All design principles were documented in a digital style guide and made scalable for international rollout.

ACTIVATION

Activation

The relaunch was conceived as a clearly structured brand restart. Key brand messages, presentation templates, and brand posters support both internal adoption and external communication. The trade fair design also follows the new strategic and visual guiding idea, making the premium positioning physically tangible. In this way, the new identity was activated consistently across all relevant touchpoints.

EXPERIENCE

Digital

The website, as the most important digital touchpoint, was rethought both structurally and visually. A revised information architecture and optimized UX design are consistently aligned with the needs of the target groups. The web design and user interface design build on the new design system and translate the brand’s premium, confident character into the digital space. The result: clear user guidance, improved orientation, and a strong stage for products and competencies.
