Launched: Branding for Desert Silicon

Fundamentally, Argus worked to provide ease of access to products while educating the industry about benefits of Desert Silicon Spin-On Glass products. The tools we provided to the sales force strengthen the connection between potential customers and Desert Silicon.

Our work articulates the benefits of implementing Desert Silicon products through relevant, customer application focused communications. The new branding was implemented in a consistent, scalable and sustainable way in combination with the organizations move to invest in its growth by adding to its leadership team, enhancing production capacity and empowering a larger, global sales force.

The scope of work included developing a strategic brand platform, naming to confirm organization and product names, authoring a new mission statement, designing an entirely new identity, as well as digital and print communications. We also created a new tagline: Liquid Source Solutions.
