Audience

To best align with Hyson's corporate strategy, the brand in its entirety should target the "High Standard Seekers" segment of the market. While there are currently other segments served by Hyson, for brand clarity High Standard Seekers should be the primary audience target across all communications.

  • Emotional needs: technically leading, collaborative, responsible, sustainable, service-minded, ethical

  • Functional needs: trusted brand, highest quality, best warranties, well established, gives expert advice, environmentally friendly products, personal support

Writing Recommendations

Company Name

In order to align with the refined company ethos, Hyson should be written in title case, rather than all capitals. This change reinforces the confident and approachable company profile.

Tagline

"Made for the Challenge" is the new company tagline, as it more holistically represents Hyson's evolution and future trajectory. As a result, "Metal Forming Solutions" should be retired and the new tagline should be used in its place. In some instances, the general phrase "metal forming solutions" may need to continue to be used to describe aspects of the company's function. However, it should no longer be used in tagline or front-line capacity.
