9 Degrees West was founded in February 2018, and Connected Technology provider Good with Devices was our very first client. Because of that we’ll always be incredibly grateful to Marek Narkiewicz and Ben Widdows for their faith in us.
Good with Devices (GWD) wanted a fresh approach to their brand and marketing strategy. They wanted to simplify their product offer and sharpen their communication.
We took the founders through a brand strategy framework. We met customers and attended a pitch presentation, so that we could really understand what the company was all about. Once we had done this, we built a new brand identity, website and marketing materials to communicate the updated offer. “Connected Technology” was the platform we developed for the client.
Ben was in the early days of honing his craft as a consultant when Marek and Ben from GWD hired him, but the experience for everyone was great. Because of this, Ben’s confidence grew and he was able to take on bigger an bigger projects.
“Ben has been an immense help in framing our business strategy with a level of clarity and focus that we’ve always struggled to find. His approach is measured and tactful, paying due respect to the work that’s gone before but still helping us to make tough decisions about what to drop and what to move forwards with.”
