Case Study
Summary
This is the story of a remarkable marketing-driven business transformation. In 2012, Officeworks was a functional brand whose one-dimensional, rational price-based communications struggled to connect with customers, leading to plateauing sales and brand health measures. A new customer-centric strategy completely reframed Officeworks both to the market and within the organisation.
In the ensuing five and a half years, through constant refinement and improvement, the strategy has delivered increasingly strong results by making people feel better about Officeworks.
