Creating a brand that truly reflects ASQA’s aspirations of continuous improvement and collaboration across Australia’s vital Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.

 

 

 

Situation

Australia’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector is currently undergoing reform, focusing on strengthening the sector.

The sectors national regulator ASQA commenced their transformation in 2020. Marked by significant changes to the way they operate within the sector. As a part of these changes, Alto was engaged to align a brand refresh with ASQA’s vision for the future and the sectors as a whole – a mutual understanding of shared responsibility for quality.

Opportunity

The brand refresh was an opportunity to revitalise, reset and reconnect ASQA with stakeholders, both internally and externally.

Alongside the new brand identity, we also needed to create a sector-wide campaign focused on ‘working together’. Complete with key messages for internal and external stakeholders.

Mission:

  • Increase awareness and understanding of ASQA’s role, responsibilities and commitment to continual improvement and transformation.
  • Build positive engagement, education and collaboration with the sector.
  • Unify the agency and instil a sense of pride and purpose around what they do and why it matters.

 

Outputs

  • A unified brand identity
  • A brand narrative the succinctly explains ASQA’s – what, how and why.
  • Clear key messages and branded materials to communicate internally and externally.
  • A communications toolkit for brand consistency.

“The ALTO team demonstrated a strong understanding of exactly what we needed, and their ability to work with high-level staff ensured the project ran smoothly, to budget and timeline. Very professional, responsive and good at listening to our organisational needs – they quickly understood and delivered quality work in a short time frame.

I recommend ALTO to anyone looking for excellent strategic communications and branding.”
