With a renewed vision, BCC embraces its social responsibility to the community and Bahrain, raising awareness of the importance of recycling and the perils of plastic and other materials.

The Solution

Uncovering the Recycling Revolution:

Masar’s Comprehensive Research Journey

Sometimes a brand sets out to be made not just as an offering of a product or a service, but driven by a larger purpose that can resonate across society. This was what we achieved, and which was reinforced with gusto by the client when it was unveiled to them. Our brief was that the brand identity had to be culturally relevant, universally appealing and could exist anywhere & everywhere to fulfill it’s purpose. This was done emphatically when the client immediately went about unrolling it in different phases, including the government level as well. We could feel the strength of the identity made when the brand that we crafted as a distinct identity gradually grew into a life of it’s own – and that was purely due to the enormity of what it seeked to achieve.

We worked with inovaline to develop a brand for our Group, which has been in operation since 1979. The task was extremely difficult, as the Group already had an extensive track record and good will built with the previous brand. However inovaline rose to the challenge and delivered a proposal that best represented our heritage, and values. We are thrilled with our decision to appoint inovaline for the branding exercise, and we definitely will consider them for any other jobs moving forward.
