A brand foundation built to power what comes next

PowerSecure delivers distributed energy and microgrid solutions that keep hospitals, businesses, and communities running when it matters most, yet its brand hadn’t kept pace with the company behind it. Carimus set out to do more than refresh the look. We built a brand foundation and a template system that PowerSecure’s internal team could use to create future materials with confidence.

Outdated Brand

Bring the brand up to speed with the business

PowerSecure had grown into a national leader in energy resiliency, but its look and messaging still reflected an earlier version of the company. They didn’t convey the reliability, expertise, and forward-thinking nature customers experience when they work with the team.
Lasting Consistency

Make the brand easy to get right

From proposals to trade show booths, PowerSecure produces a steady stream of sales and marketing materials. For the new brand to hold, it had to be simple to apply consistently across all of them, long after launch.

A brand strategy built from
the inside out

Carimus led a two-day brand discovery workshop with the PowerSecure team to explore the company’s mission, core values, target audiences, and competitive landscape. Those sessions shaped a clear brand target and a voice that is empowering, confident, empathetic, and expert, without jargon. Three initial design concepts were then refined through iteration into a single new brand direction.

Guidelines designed
to be used

Carimus delivered comprehensive brand guidelines covering logo usage and misuse, typography, color, photography, and brand voice. Written as a practical, everyday reference, the guidelines provide everyone at PowerSecure with a single source of truth for applying the brand across any medium.

 

A template system that scales with the team

With the foundation in place, Carimus built a prioritized roadmap of collateral and designed each piece as part of a repeatable system. PowerPoint and proposal templates, whitepapers, case studies, brochures, product spec sheets, and one-pagers give PowerSecure’s internal team ready-to-use starting points, so every new piece stays true to the brand without being rebuilt from the ground up. Event booth and advertising designs carry the same look into the market.

Impact

Brand Platform

A sharper position in the market

A clearly defined position, distinct voice, and refreshed visual identity set PowerSecure apart from competitors and reflect the reliability of its work.

In-House Enablement

On brand from the first draft

Every new presentation, proposal, or sales sheet can start from an approved template, so PowerSecure’s team can focus on the message and trust the brand is already taken care of.
