CHALLENGE

How do you transform two indus­tri­al orga­ni­za­tions into a global, one-stop shopping resource for world-class aircraft main­te­nance services and indus­tri­al inno­va­tion?

SOLUTION

To showcase the group’s indus­tri­al inno­va­tion and extensive global tech­no­log­i­cal resources, we (Jan Ragnartz and Bill Below) proposed the notion of “Adaptiveness”. It was a single-word concept that has been res­onat­ing through­out the orga­ni­za­tion and with global clients for well over a decade.

CHALLENGE

A global leader in indus­tri­al inno­va­tion, the Swedish steel company SSAB launched its toughest steel yet — Hardox®. They wanted a campaign that would demon­strate to their customers (mining and earth-moving machine builders) just how tough Hardox really is.

SOLUTION

Jan Ragnartz and Bill Below created the ‘Bring it On!’ campaign to emphasize that Hardox is up to any challenge. The campaign concept later evolved into the ‘Bring it On!’ show, a multi-episode web series devoted to people trying every­thing they could to destroy a con­struc­tion bin made of Hardox. A good illus­tra­tion of how inno­v­a­tive com­mu­ni­ca­tions work hand-in-hand with indus­tri­al inno­va­tion.
