Beyond Visuals | syniotec

A tracking & software tech start-up elevated through strategic rebranding to gain trust in Germany’s change-resistant construction industry.

This project was carried out during my full-time position as a multidisciplinary creative at syniotec. I was tasked with leading and executing a wide spectrum of creative outputs.

The rebranding to the syniotec brand, launched on September 1st, 2022 in collaboration with Vioki (A branding agency based in Hamburg, now known as vengine), aimed to break into a sector resistant to change by elevating trust, reputation, and recognition.

The solution was a refreshed identity system that balanced boldness with reliability: modern enough to differentiate, yet grounded enough to remain authentic to the construction industry.

Beyond the launch, I was responsible for sustaining and growing the brand, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints while adapting it to support the company’s long-term vision of digitizing Germany’s construction industry.

The website was built to serve as the brand’s digital front door: clear, confident, and unmistakably bold. It positioned syniotec as both approachable and forward-looking, ensuring the first point of contact with the brand reflected its ambition and trustworthiness.

On social platforms, the bright red became the hook and black the anchor, creating a visual rhythm that caught attention and highlighted the products with contrast. This rhythm of bold contrast created a feed that was not only visually striking, but also immediately recognizable across the industry’s digital landscape

Every message aligned,
speaking with one voice

Every message aligned, speaking with one voice

An in industry like the German construction; trust was earned through references. Partner companies shared first-hand accounts of how syniotec’s solutions impacted their operations, offering proof in a sector where reliability outweighs rhetoric.

Beyond Visuals
Into Narratives

Facts inform. Stories persuade. An idea on its own is just potential, and the same idea, in the right narrative, can move mountains...or markets. The medium; video, design, strategy, has never been the point. The story has.

That’s the space I work in.

The space where ideas can go beyond.
