BT (British Telecoms)

BT, the world’s oldest telecommunications company and now the world's leading Networked IT Services business, commissioned a WizKit for its global sales force to ensure a consistent brand image throughout sales presentations. The WizKit for PowerPoint provides the sales force with an easy and efficient way to create presentations that includes the latest BT brand elements and product offerings. In addition, it seamlessly combines standard PowerPoint slides with custom-built multimedia elements, to create an even more dynamic presentation package.

The menu contains the basic elements - templates, charts, diagrams, image libraries, guidelines, etc, plus a wide range of presentations, covering all aspects of BT’s product offerings and services - in all, over 10,500 slides and dozens of service videos and product animations. It is produced in 5 languages, and automatically updates itself from anywhere in the world, using the WizKit Online Updater via a dedicated web server.

The WizKit’s implementation by the Global Services division was such a success that within its first month, both of the other two major divisions, “Major Business” and “Retail”, adopted it. Further more, the BT team who commissioned the WizKit won the Andy Green’s - CEO BT Award for Excellence for the best marketing innovation.

PricewaterhouseCoopers

In 1998, when Price Waterhouse and Coopers and Lybrand merged, they created PricewaterhouseCoopers - a global organisation of 130,000 people with offices in 157 countries. Drawing together this huge number of people and paving the way for a common direction for the new professional services firm required a vehicle - an aspiring and cohesive brand. A task force, called the ‘brand team’ was set up within PwC to manage the development of the brand and ensure it was correctly portrayed across the whole organisation.

This task force identified potential ‘weak-spots’ and agreed that they needed some ‘fail-safe’ solutions to help manage the brand identity in those areas. Presentations became a high priority area, as everyday people from all over the world were putting together their own presentations.

This meant every day people were wasting time reinventing the wheel and at the same time diluting the strength of the brand identity. The ‘Wizkit’ created for PricewaterhouseCoopers enabled every employee to create a PowerPoint presentation complete with the company logotype, symbol, colours, fonts, imagery, charts and credentials - all within minutes. What’s more, it was available in a variety of sizes - to ensure every possible need was met.

Since its inception nearly 10 years ago, their WizKit has been updated a number of times to reflect the evolving PwC brand. We have recently created a new generation of the WizKit for Office 2007 (covering PowerPoint, Word and Excel) for PwC, complete with a suite of new tools allowing the user to quickly apply the PwC brand to their presentation and a fully automatic 'Brand-Checker' which allows the user with a single click to check if their presentation is on-brand and, if not, to correct it.

The ‘brand team’ said, 'This has been our most successful and well received internal project’. They were also commended by the Board for creating a tool that truly made peoples' working lives easier and gave a consistent application of the brand.
