Championing Australia’s No.1 sports retailer
Super Retail Group
Hulsbosch repositioned the Rebel brand to be Australia’s premium sports retailer of choice. Rebel’s key business objectives were to grow market share with a renewed focus on connecting with its female demographic and cementing brand loyalty with its existing customer base. The new brand identity is both distinctive and inspiring.
Be your personal best
The word ‘Sport’ was dropped from the identity taking advantage of the high brand awareness enjoyed by the Rebel name, while the flipped ‘e’ intends to communicate healthy competition and the idea of one’s personal best. The brand program has a strong focus on clear, simple and confident messaging translating to a relevant and inspirational brand offer.
An entire consumer experience
Brand executions cover the entire consumer experience including point of sale, instore signage, instore graphics, uniforms, shopping bags and loyalty programs. The national rollout was ambitious with 150 stores having received the new look and plans for a further 545 stores to open in the coming years.
