The Challenge

In 2016, Nexus Pharmacy Group decided to exit the franchise model that encompassed its Good Price Pharmacy Warehouse stores.

They engaged communikate et al to create a new brand for their retail stores, with only three months to develop and launch the new name, style guide, signage, website and more.

Our Approach

We started with a comprehensive brand development workshop, which informed a brand strategy to guide all future visual assets.

The brand strategy also looked closely at consumer habits and the competitor environment. This ensured key branding elements would resonate with consumers and differentiate the pharmacies in the cluttered marketplace.

From there, the brand name HealthShed Discount Pharmacy was born.

We developed the brand guide, which was applied to the roll out of all elements of the new brand.

The project consisted of:

  • Naming and brand development
  • Signage audit, design and store concept designs across three states
  • Signage production and installation
  • User-centric website development
  • Stationery and uniform design

The Outcome

  • A strong brand identity applied to all marketing assets
  • External and internal signage designed, produced and installed across all retail locations in three states
  • A new website designed and developed, starting with a user requirements workshop and factoring in future aspirations for the site

Meeting the challenge of the tight timeframe, communikate et al delivered all elements within the brand launch deadline and the client was thrilled with the final result.
