Jung von Matt Brand Identity: Energy connects

Since its launch in 2003, the Energy entertainment brand has developed from a local radio station into a strong media brand. With its own entertainers and entertainment formats, Energy entertains fans on the radio, on social media and at events developed in-house.

But the core of the mainstream brand has remained largely unchanged for 18 years. "Stars & Hits" remains relevant for addressing the target audience, but has been less and less able to capture the vastly changing media needs of a multi-layered community. To make Energy's identity fit for future development, the brand core and brand profile were fundamentally revised.

A positive attitude to life that connects

Following an analysis of the brand status and the brand environment, strategic insights were developed with regard to brand identity, target group appeal and differentiation potential, and the content-related identity fundamentals were worked out in a brand profile workshop.

The decisive factor was to make visible the identity characteristics of the Energy brand that have shaped its success and to interpret them in the context of changing media needs. What has distinguished Energy since its launch and made it successful is its ability to translate the target group's and community's attitude to life into entertainment. Energy has its finger on the pulse of international trends and topics and translates them with local relevance.

Energy has always provided talking points and "shareable content" that sometimes polarizes, but always brings people, opinions and topics together. These essential characteristics were summarized in the brand promise "Entertainment that connects people." The brand profile developed for Energy serves as a sharpened guideline for communication and the development of brand content and experiences. Accordingly, Energy was able - on the basis of the brand profile - to develop the claim and the current campaign independently.
