Since 1981, PGATECH has become a leading company offering ground improvement, soil exploration, geophysical services, construction materials testing, and other geo-construction services.
After 40 years of operation, PGATECH’s CEO wanted to professionalize and evolve the company while becoming a more dominant player in its industry. This entailed understanding the specific dynamics and forces that govern its industry, assessing its competitors’ strengths and vulnerabilities while unlocking PGATECH’s competencies and weaknesses. The CEO also needed to find a way for the four subsidiaries under the PGATECH, which until then operated separately, to be seamlessly integrated under one master brand.
CIA Bootleg Manila developed a comprehensive business plan anchored on the complete analyses of PGATECH’s external and internal environments. For over 8 months, we studied international trends, estimated the local market size, interviewed decision makers and clients, and worked closely with PGATECH’s CEO and executive team to deeply understand each subsidiaries’ services, clients, projects and processes.
CIA Bootleg Manila integrated all the insights and translated them into a new master brand strategy for PGATECH, anchored on a new DNA: Groundbreaking Innovations for Nation Builders.
The DNA was detailed into a 5-year roadmap that included quantitative forecasts (i.e. revenues, target clients, projects, projects per client, target leads, etc.) and key marketing, operational and organizational strategies, and programs to achieve them.
We also developed a new visual identity to support the strategies, ensuring that the mother brand – PGATECH – was front and center, while refreshing the four subsidiaries’ logos to give them each its own personality while being consistent with the overall corporate identity.
