SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The branding project developed by Erretres. The Strategic Design Company, faced the challenge of renewing the brand’s connection with its audience through a completely new identity. Its objective is to transmit the differential experience enjoyed by CANAL+ users, through their own points of view.
STRATEGY
This project is rooted in the need to take this platform’s five million users and place them at its core, making them its protagonists.
The project includes the development of the corporate strategy, brand architecture, communication tone, and visual identity, as well as the implementation of the above throughout different services and products. This implies a profound change in the company’s corporate culture, made possible through a disruptive project that was internally given the code name “the erretres project”.
Erretres worked for nearly a year on this, developing a 360º branding project that includes: core elements, broadcast identity, website, and online presence, above and below the line advertising, internal and external communication, social networks, corporate graphics, media and events, retail spaces, vehicles, packaging, merchandising, etc.
ON-AIR IDENTITY
The on-air identity of the TV platform was developed by the company Plenty based in Erretres’ brand guidelines. Below are many examples of applications developed by Plenty and the design department of Canal+.
ADVERTISING
The advertising guidelines and tone of communication put the focus on the users and the experience they are living with Canal+ instead of the contents.
THIS PROJECT IS ROOTED IN THE NEED TO TAKE THIS PLATFORM’S FIVE MILLION USERS AND PLACE THEM AT ITS CORE, MAKING THEM ITS PROTAGONISTS.
WEBSITE AND MULTIMEDIA
Erretres developed the guidelines for the new website, newsletters, social media and TV menus and guides.
CORPORATE AND EXTERIOR ELEMENTS
The corporate elements included letterhead, internal communications, merchandising, vehicles and environmental applications such as retail and corporate headquarters.

PUBLICATIONS

RETAIL PACKAGING
In the packaging, we used one of the typographic resources used in the identity, speech balloons, to emphasize the most important contents.
