Expanding Horizons: Transitioning from Youth to Adult Cultural Exchange Programmes

Challenge

Our client, initially focused on providing cultural and linguistic exchange programmes for teenagers and young students, sought to expand into the adult exchange programme market. They introduced a new programme specifically designed for adults, targeting individuals interested in immersive cultural experiences and language learning. The main challenge was transitioning from a younger demographic to an older one, which required a total rebranding. This rebranding involved redefining the brand's tone of voice, developing new visual identity kits, creating new brand messaging, and designing updated marketing collateral. Additionally, a tailored marketing strategy was essential to address the distinct needs and preferences of the new target audience, ensuring effective communication and engagement across various platforms.
