For decades, McNeilus had built its reputation on being the toughest, most reliable workhorse in the waste management sector. While this brand equity was essential to maintain, their business was evolving rapidly, introducing innovative solutions like the Volterra electric vehicle and EPTO electrification systems. The core challenge was navigating the delicate balance between preservation and evolution. To evolve the perception of the brand from a reliable legacy equipment manufacturer to a visionary technology partner, without compromising the trust built on the pillars of ruggedness and dependability required a thorough creative process. The existing visual identity needed refinement to appropriately convey this high-tech, human-touch focus.
Quill began with a deep immersion phase, facilitating comprehensive voice-of-customer research and leadership discovery sessions to chart the path from the current brand position to its ideal future state.
