Since working with Underscore, Academia achieved a 25% increase in turnover growth scoring a record revenue of £140m. Following a 42% year-on-year growth in managed services revenue, Academia increased their workforce by 30% and has since expanded their capabilities in IT lifecycle management & managed services via a strategic acquisition.
Academia are a leading IT solutions provider specialising in Education, Public Sector and B2B. They partnered with Underscore to create a clear brand strategy in order to reposition their perception in the marketplace from value-added reseller, to a multi-service provider.
Pivotal to this process was a digital overhaul including a visual identity refresh, website redesign and relaunch, and the development of a content management system that provided their in-house team with both flexibility and consistency.
A future-focused relaunch celebrates their heritage as Apple and Abobe experts while opening up to a broader portfolio of new clients.
A strategic sub-identity was developed and designed into a streamlined process to showcase their portfolio of exceptional solutions and services.
The new operating model was further expanded into a suite of interactive sales and marketing presentations.
The AcademiaONE launch video tells the story of a smoother, smarter, stress-free device lifecycle solution on their website, socials and events.
We created a landing page aimed at empowering educational institutions through a showcase Apple’s Education Ecosystem Partners.
Clear and intuitive navigation allows visitors to choose services from 3 categories: Content & Curriculum Solutions, Productivity, and IT & Deployment Solutions.
The landing page serves as a tool to help visitors identify Apple partners and products that support key priorities across teaching, learning, device management and engagement.
Part of the brand refresh includes a suite of over 1000 icons and a fresh new colour palette.
Imagery spans a wide variety from generative Ai to authentic candid photography that spotlights their employees.
