Afterpay

The Client

Australian tech Unicorn and payment disruptor Afterpay were a rocketship when they turned to 33BONDI for support. With our deep technology-based team and strategic and brand know-how, we were quickly able to understand the strengths and gaps in brand positioning for a newly minted Unicorn. Afterpay, who have reimagining the way customers pay for goods and services and delivering smooth customer experiences to match that, needed to catch-up with its own business success and develop a consistent and compelling visual identity and voice for the more than 3,000 Australian Millennials signing up a day.

“33BONDI created a 360-degree view of the Afterpay brand and single-minded value proposition that was consistent internally and externally. This anchored the core brand values internally with staff and, externally with retail partners and consumers. Steven and Jonas are committed and collaborative. They go above and beyond to deliver results.”

The Solution

Through deep research of use cases and customer feedback, 33BONDI was able to articulate a brand strategy that reflected where Afterpay had found itself and where it placed its future vision. All captured in the Afterpay Brand Book we delivered, this went to inform all stakeholders domestically and globally, and included creating the “Love The Way You Pay” tagline. Beyond finding the right brand positioning to stand out from a cluttered and competitive payments market, 33BONDI also built out from a simple logo into a full visual identity in the publication of the Afterpay Brand Guidelines. 33BONDI went on to create the Afterpay Retail Partners Book, distributed to the +25,000 merchants that included more work from our company, in the design of an entire new suite of in-store collateral. Once the branding was bedded down, 33BONDI has created and deployed digital marketing campaigns for Afterpay, including their very first in the world, with major retail partners including Smiggle, Big W, Officeworks, Adidas, Hairhouse Warehouse and more.
