Approach

How we work

Every programme is different. Our proven framework adapts to your needs — bringing the right mix of audit, create, manage and maintain to each stage of the journey.

Start at any stage.
Deliver across every touchpoint.

Whether you're creating a new brand, evolving an existing identity or preparing for global rollout, GLIMMA can join the journey wherever you need us — and take it through implementation to ongoing lifecycle management.

Where you start
A brand positioning exercise: price and assortment positioning maps plotting competitor retailers, with a panel of positioning objectives.

Entry point A

Positioning, purpose & offer

No brand yet — GLIMMA helps define the positioning, proposition and what makes the brand distinctive.

Proven process

From audit to ongoing governance. One network, one standard.

Audit

Define what exists

A full audit of your brand estate, every location, every asset, standard and condition.

Create

Produce to specification

Global supply chain and quality management — every asset, from a fascia to a full interior, produced to standard.

Manage

Deploy at scale

Coordinated rollout across any market, managed against your timeline — live reporting and governance at every stage.

Maintain

Protect the investment

Structured ongoing maintenance — refresh cycles, compliance oversight, visibility across your entire estate.

Brand governance and control

You'll always know what's happening, and who's responsible for it.

Complex rebrands need clear ownership and total visibility, not just good intentions.

  • 06Budget and progress reporting, on a schedule you can rely on

Governance model, applied globally

CEVA Logistics

On CEVA's global rebrand, this structure managed 256 locations directly while coordinating a further 54 through a regional partner — one governance model, applied consistently regardless of who's on the ground.

Materials & engineering

The right material for the environment, tested before it's rolled out.

A Saudi Arabia Railways passenger train in blue, black and gold SAR livery, standing on desert track.

Standard products don't always survive real-world conditions. When Saudi Arabia Railways needed a livery that could withstand continuous desert sand erosion in live passenger service, we worked with 3M to develop and trial a new triple-layer application method — tested on an operational train, not in a lab.

It's the same partnership model behind our sustainable materials work: choosing the right specialist for the problem, not settling for what's already on the shelf.
