The Addison Whitney Solution
Research & Analysis
Addison Whitney conducted internal and external research with customers and employees. The research aimed to validate if the Siemens master brand carried the most recognition, as compared to the acquired brands. After conducting the brand assessment, we were able to recommend that the Siemens master brand be positioned across all newly acquired business units. As a result, the Westinghouse name was gradually be phased out.
Brand Strategy
Addison Whitney developed a comprehensive nomenclature system that enhanced the clarity and consistency of product naming for the portfolio. Future naming guidelines were developed to ensure the strategy would be preserved as new products were introduced and businesses acquired.
