An ongoing success story.

Challenge

Hong Kong’s accountants had an image problem. They were boring, number-crunching, back office creatures. Dull, uninspiring...and invisible.

Solution

Eight’s total brand makeover brought the CPA’s fast-forward into the future with an incisive new positioning, identity and story told with conviction, clarity and consistency in the market.

Results

The brand’s turnaround has been dramatic. From virtually unknown to regularly scoring over 90% in unprompted awareness studies, the Institute has found a new appetite for risk, sponsoring children’s books and a daring rap video which gave it unprecedented exposure on the BBC World Service.
