Effective communication is key to a successful amalgamation. We develop comprehensive communication plans that keep all parties informed, reduce uncertainty, and build confidence in the new regulatory structures.

Our Impact

One of several regulatory client engagements involved Incite guiding the branding, positioning, and rollout of two new brand identities due to the amalgamation of eleven health regulatory colleges into two new entities in British Columbia. Our strategic approach led to:

Increased Engagement and Buy-In: Through over 48 hours of engagement with impacted parties, we listened to 100+ unique voices, ensuring that the new brands were well-received and that impacted parties felt included in the process.

Robust Brand Identity and Recognition: The new brands developed under our guidance have been exceptionally well-received, embodying the unique attributes of each profession while ensuring a unified and cohesive identity.

Cohesive Rollout: Our brand implementation plan provided a clear roadmap for introducing the new identities to staff, registrants, partners, and the public, ensuring a smooth transition.
