It was a difficult period for the business and under new management they had created a growth vision for the business. Re-branding as “Propel Global” the idea was to step away from the negative impression left by the previous owners that had managed to place them under PN17 status (PN17 stands for Practice Note 17/2005 and is issued by Bursa Malaysia; relating to companies that are in financial distress. Companies that fall within the definition of PN17 will need to submit their proposal to the Approving Authority to restructure and revive the company in order to maintain the listing status.).

The restructuring quickly turned the business around to making a profit, so that its position as a viable investment is reinstated. The new direction is built upon its four core business strengths in resources, chemicals, construction, and technical services — that focused the refreshed brand on integrating its essential services across the Asia Pacific, Australasia, Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa.


 

“At the time of your appointment as the brand consultant, we were going through a difficult time — being under PN17. As such, the rebranding was a crucial element in changing the way in which our key stakeholders view the company.”
— Angeline Lee,  Executive Director / Group Chief Executive Officer

 


BRIEF 
The challenge was to re-position the business with a global perspective on providing its clientele with the essential services across the resource sector (oil and gas), chemical sector (manufacturing), construction sector (infrastructure and the built environment), and technical services (focusing on air conditioning for high rise buildings).

 


RESPONSE 
The new brand focused on the business strengths and communicated the global growth strategy — giving Propel Global the stature and international outlook — both internally and externally. A key aspect of this was to reflect the ability to cross-sell these services and gain significant growth through integration. The new identity captured the aspirations for the future whilst reinforcing a narrative of expertise and scalability.
