Brand Environments and Workplace Experience for Agthia

Context

Agthia is a major Abu Dhabi-based food and beverage group with a diverse portfolio of businesses and brands operating across the UAE and wider international markets.

As the Group evolved its corporate brand, there was an opportunity to extend that identity beyond conventional communications and create a more consistent physical expression of Agthia across the places where employees, customers, partners and visitors experienced the organisation.

With environments ranging from corporate offices and receptions to factories, warehouses and distribution centres, the system needed to work across very different operational settings.

Challenge

Agthia's diverse physical estate created a complex brand experience challenge.

Each environment served different audiences and operational purposes, but collectively they needed to communicate a recognisable and consistent Agthia experience.

The challenge was to develop a flexible system that could translate the corporate identity into physical spaces while addressing practical requirements including navigation, wayfinding, signage, customer journeys and employee workplace experience.

The solution also needed to provide clear implementation principles that could be applied consistently across different facilities over time.

Solution

Working closely with Agthia, Aeron developed a comprehensive brand environment and spatial design system for application across the Group's corporate and operational estate.

The work considered the journeys of employees, customers and visitors through different environments, identifying opportunities to bring the Agthia brand to life at relevant physical touchpoints.

Aeron developed creative principles and applications spanning wayfinding, signage, office and factory receptions, workplaces and interior and exterior environments.

These were brought together within a structured set of guidelines, providing Agthia and its implementation partners with a practical framework for translating the corporate brand consistently across different locations and types of space.

Rather than treating individual environments in isolation, the approach created a coherent system capable of adapting to the functional requirements of each location while maintaining a recognisable Agthia brand experience.

Result

The engagement established a consistent framework for bringing the Agthia brand into physical environments across the organisation.

The system provided greater coherence across wayfinding, signage, receptions, workplaces and interior and exterior applications, while giving internal teams and external partners clear guidance for implementation.

The programme formed part of Aeron's wider relationship with Agthia, extending the corporate brand from strategy and communications into the everyday environments experienced by employees, customers and other stakeholders.
