ipiranga seeds
adding value to commodities

20 YEARS AGO IPIRANGA SEEDS WAS BORN IN THE HEARTLAND OF BRAZIL with the purpose of offering more than just a high quality product, but also was focused on building more exclusive relationships with their customers and partners, believing it to be the key to their success. Ipiranga Seeds, a soybean multiplier that sells to national and international markets, is a family-owned medium-sized company that offers a product of recognized quality and boasts in the special care with each customer. Apart from those advantages, such as highly skilled professionals and a prime location, visibility was still necessary. So, how does one add value to commodities? The answer was to primarily create a new image for the brand, specially considering the company wanted to increase its production, upgrade their product portfolio and align their image to the quality of the product they offered. Thus, Saad created a unique, personal and flexible brand for the present and the future of the company.

for those who want more
After an intensive research process, it became clear that characteristics such as location, production process, and the quality of the products and services were attributes that directed the brand to a premium positioning that hadn’t been explored yet. Apart from the premium positioning, it was necessary to take into account other aspects that are very important to their audience, such as to be close, simple and friendly. The dynamic tagline For those who want more refers to customers who search for high quality products and services that are more than ordinary. It also allows for a great range of applications: For those who want more technology, For those who want more productivity, For those who want more transparency, etc. It’s minimal symbol translates the brand’s activity. It sets it apart from its competitors and adds a personal and organic approach.

accelerated growth
New branding strategies were designed and, as a result, our consulting boosted their business: the company now speaks for one of the largest suppliers of genetics in Brazil,  having had an increase of 60% in revenue — with the same production capacity — and a 40% profit margin two years after the beginning of the project. Bigger and more competitive, the company now visibly stands out among the most recognized competitors in its state. The project was also recognized in the biggest award of Brazil, IDEA Brasil, being a silver winner in the Design Strategy category and was awarded an iF Communication Award, the most important world design award — among the 10 worldwide winners, it was the only one outside the European continent.
