Harcliff Mining Services: A Brand Refresh for Industry Domination

The Challenge: Revitalising a Legacy Brand for Modern Impact

Founded in 1998, Harcliff Mining Services established itself as a powerhouse in the industry. However, as the mining landscape evolved, their brand identity—rooted in past achievements—no longer reflected their innovative approach and global ambitions. To stay ahead of the competition and attract new clients, Harcliff needed a brand refresh that communicated their relentless pursuit of excellence and cutting-edge expertise.

The Solution: A Multi-Faceted Brand Transformation

Tasked with this critical project, I led the charge in crafting a comprehensive brand refresh strategy that would propel Harcliff’s identity into the future. My goal was to create a cohesive brand experience that went beyond traditional marketing and became an integral part of Harcliff’s operations.

Key Initiatives & Impactful Results:

• Turning Fleets into Mobile Brand Ambassadors

  We transformed Harcliff’s fleet into eye-catching mobile brand ambassadors. These striking vehicle liveries not only captured attention across vast landscapes but also served as moving billboards for the brand. Incorporating QR codes linked directly to case studies and service pages on Harcliff’s website, the vehicles created a seamless bridge between offline presence and online engagement. Potential clients could easily learn more about Harcliff’s capabilities with a simple scan.

• Creating a Cohesive Brand Experience Across Touchpoints

  To ensure consistent brand recognition, we designed impactful signage for worksites, offices, and events. These signs echoed the visual elements of the vehicle liveries and website, establishing a unified brand language that reinforced Harcliff’s professionalism and expertise at every customer touchpoint. The cohesive design not only fostered trust but also made Harcliff instantly recognisable across the industry.

• Driving Digital Transformation: Website & Brochure Overhaul

  We gave Harcliff’s website and brochures a complete UI/UX overhaul, transforming them into powerful digital tools. The new website offers a seamless, user-friendly experience, showcasing Harcliff’s services through high-quality visuals, interactive project maps, and service timelines. Clear calls to action guide visitors toward inquiries, while revamped brochures with compelling visual presentations and client testimonials provide concise information, making a strong case for Harcliff’s industry leadership.

The Impact: A Brand Poised for Global Leadership

This brand refresh strategy delivered significant results for Harcliff Mining Services:

• Elevated Brand Image

  The refreshed brand identity effectively communicated Harcliff’s forward-thinking approach and unwavering commitment to excellence. The mining industry took notice, with Harcliff’s innovative strategies featured in leading publications and interviews, further elevating their brand image.

• Boosted Brand Awareness & Lead Generation

  The introduction of mobile brand ambassadors, coupled with impactful signage and a revamped website, significantly increased brand awareness and lead generation. The QR codes on the vehicles directly translated into increased website traffic and inquiries, demonstrating Harcliff’s dynamic presence in the field.

• Strengthened Market Presence & Client Acquisition

  With a cohesive brand strategy in place, Harcliff fortified its market presence and solidified its position as the go-to partner for leading mining companies worldwide. The new website and brochures became essential sales tools, enabling Harcliff to secure new contracts and dominate the competitive mining services industry.

Conclusion: A Blueprint for Industry Domination

This brand refresh project illustrates the transformative power of a well-executed design strategy. By creating a cohesive brand experience across all touchpoints—from mobile vehicles to digital platforms—we equipped Harcliff Mining Services with the tools they need to thrive and establish themselves as thought leaders in the mining industry.
