Rebranding & sustainability

Abstract

A moda sustentável está em ascensão e cada vez mais existem empresas a emergir desta maré de crescente conscientização, focadas na produção sustentável usando materiais reciclados para criar novos conceitos. A Re-coffee, marca portuguesa de calçado, sediada em Braga, impulsionada pela pura inovação, demonstra como é que o café moído poderá ser reutilizado de forma a criar ténis, feitos não só a partir de borras de café recicladas como de ananás e fibra de côco. O Design de Comunicação é uma ferramenta poderosa, com a capacidade de criar imagens que representam conceitos ou ideias que a marca pretende comunicar e “circular” a informação e imagem de uma forma criativa, apelando aos seus consumidores para que comprem os seus produtos. Esta tese visa identificar e caracterizar aspectos distintivos de uma imagem que representa os valores da Re-coffee com o objetivo de desenvolver um projeto de identidade visual para a marca, com comunicação e divulgação suficientemente capazes de ser distintiva e eficaz no mercado. Trata-se de uma investigação de metodologia mista com o domínio de métodos qualitativos integrando a pesquisa ativa que corresponde ao Desenvolvimento do Projeto.. Em primeiro lugar, a recolha de dados ocorreu nas áreas da identidade visual e do mercado da moda sustentável, através da revisão da literatura e posteriormente complementada por uma análise de estudos de caso de marcas . Entrevistas foram realizadas uma vez que esta investigação foi acompanhada pelos representantes da Re-coffee, que ajudaram na tomada de decisão dos valores centrais da Marca. O desenvolvimento desta investigação resultou numa compreensão clara do funcionamento da empresa de calçado Re-coffee, centrada na sua imagem e comunicação, para identificar os seus pontos fracos e poder oferecer uma proposta de estratégia de comunicação mais eficaz para penetrar no mercado português com mais eficiência. Assim, é apresentada uma proposta para uma nova identidade visual acompanhada da sua estratégia de comunicação.

There is no denying that sustainable fashion is on the rise, and new companies, focused on sustainable manufacturing using recycled materials to create new concepts, are emerging from this tide of growing awareness. Re-coffee, a Portuguese footwear brand, based in Braga, driven by pure innovation rethanked how waisted coffee grounds could be re-used with its new eco-friendly sneakers, made from recycled coffee grounds as well as pineapple and coconut fibre. Communication Design is a powerful tool, with the ability to create images that represent concepts or ideas and a brand must communicate, “circulate” the information and its image in a creative way, appealing to its consumers to buy their products. This thesis aims to identify and characterize distinctive aspects of a brand image that represents Re-coffee values to develop a visual identity project for the brand, with communication and dissemination capable enough to be distinctive and effective in the market. In methodological terms, mixed-methods research was applied with a clear dominance of qualitative methods integrating active research that corresponds to the Project Development. Firstly, data gathering occurred in the areas of visual identity and sustainable fashion through the revision of literature and later complemented by an analysis of case studies on other brands that were further deepened. Interviews were performed since this investigation was followed up by the representatives of Re-coffee who helped with the decision-making of the core values of the Brand. The development of this research resulted in a clear understanding of the operation of Re-coffee footwear company focusing on its image and communication, identifying its weaknesses and being able to propose a new effective communication strategy to enter the Portuguese market with more efficiency. Therefore, a proposal for a new brand identity and communication strategy are presented.
