Notice Title
TEN-2526-031(PA2023) Brand Fundamentals
Notice Description
We're looking for a partner to review and evolve our brand fundamentals to support a cohesive and effective brand expression internally and externally to all audiences. Our external audiences include members - people who are saving with Nest through work; employers, who select to use Nest on behalf of their staff and Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) like accountants and bookkeepers who support employers in setting up and / or running their workplace pensions. Our objective from this work is to come away with a new design language that's made up of a suite of brand assets and guidance that demonstrates how we show up for our audiences in a warm, human and relatable way. As well as our visual assets, we would also like our partner to provide guidance on brand architecture and naming conventions.
