COMPANY
STRUCTURE
APAX Sports Massage Therapy was formerly known as Lucas
Fitness Therapy. The purpose of the rebranding is to transform
from a personal business to a company-scale structure. This
change benefits the business to increase opportunities and
prevents it from being solely associated with its founder.
The new company structure expands and includes several
components. Each individual can have their personality but
should not violate the master brand (APAX)'s identity. Former Identity GRAPH OF HIERARCHY

Bodybuilders typically focus on building
muscle mass, strength, and definition, and
often compete in bodybuilding competitions

COMPETITOR
ANALYSIS
Hong Kong Rehab &
Sport Centre
Bre Lab 24/7 Fitness Centre
Wanchai
Physiotherapy
Centre Limited.
RSC-HK should be the main competitor to APAX.
Their complete SNS content can be referencable.
Their TA is broader than APAX, but, at the same
time, can be a potential crisis, as their TA is not
focusing as APAX. APAX can show an ambitious
target on "Sports" to compete.
Bre Lab positions themself as a high-end service.
The entire look and feel can show a sophisticated
and mature design. The position helps them
to run its business in high price region. The
comprehensive tone and manner, and strategies
on positioning to market can be learnt.
24/7 Fitness is the largest scale fitness centre in
Hong Kong. Although its main business is not on
massage therapy, its large customer size makes
it become one strong competitor to APAX. The
massage therapy is only the side business. Its
complete service from fitness, trainer programme,
courses, massage, stretching... create a full
package product, making customer feels
trustworthy and "join for one-goal".
All physiotherapy services can be treated as a
competitor, as the TA and provided solution is
very similar to APAX. One crisis from them is
that the services provided is more reputative
with certification and qualification support. APAX
should seek for an image of expertise & unique
selling point to compete with them.

COMPETITOR
ANALYSIS
In the market of massage therapy, we can see
the trend of using "wellness" to position the brand
for higher class and targetting high price range.
However, it may not suit the direction for APAX,
due to its practical business nature and the service
provided.
APAX tend to uses the concept of "strong
understanding on athletes need" as the selling point.
With this strategy, we can see there are a lot of
At present business, the position and selling point
of APAX is in the process of development and
need effort in enhancing the bargaining power to
increase the service charge, especially in the high
competitive market. Although an unqiue selling point
is suggested. It requires a process (a period of time)
to let the TA understand the "good" of the APAX
service. As a result, it is recommended that the price
can keep as "Low - Medium" and step by step to
increase in the future.
APAX should own a unique palette, which is different
from the existing brand in the market.
The graph can briefly show the
recommended position of APAX.
These will affect the visual look &
message.

existing competitors doing the same concept
in the market. In order to compete with them,
it is recommended that APAX should show a
more unique target group and reveal a clear
service target, which the market now is now
lack of. As a result, in terms of identity, the tone/
massage of "sport/ sportmanship", "focus",
"boosting performance" should be a key to
convey a visionary messsage which can show
the difference to the other brands.

  • 10. TARGET AUDIENCE By identifying and understanding needs and preferences of target audience, we can tailor our messaging, marketing, and identity strategy to better resonate with our audience and effectively communicate our value proposition. It can help to build brand loyalty, increase customer engagement, and drive sales. Bodybuilders typically focus on building muscle mass, strength, and definition, and often compete in bodybuilding competitions to showcase their physique. Bodybuilding requires a disciplined and rigorous training regimen, as well as a strict diet and lifestyle.

  • 11. COMPETITOR ANALYSIS Hong Kong Rehab & Sport Centre Bre Lab 24/7 Fitness Centre Wanchai Physiotherapy Centre Limited. RSC-HK should be the main competitor to APAX. Their complete SNS content can be referencable. Their TA is broader than APAX, but, at the same time, can be a potential crisis, as their TA is not focusing as APAX. APAX can show an ambitious target on "Sports" to compete. Bre Lab positions themself as a high-end service. The entire look and feel can show a sophisticated and mature design. The position helps them to run its business in high price region. The comprehensive tone and manner, and strategies on positioning to market can be learnt. 24/7 Fitness is the largest scale fitness centre in Hong Kong. Although its main business is not on massage therapy, its large customer size makes it become one strong competitor to APAX. The massage therapy is only the side business. Its complete service from fitness, trainer programme, courses, massage, stretching... create a full package product, making customer feels trustworthy and "join for one-goal". All physiotherapy services can be treated as a competitor, as the TA and provided solution is very similar to APAX. One crisis from them is that the services provided is more reputative with certification and qualification support. APAX should seek for an image of expertise & unique selling point to compete with them. • Injuries from work • Sport/athletes • Woman • Office Ladies • Gym Member • Housewifes • Everyone • Approachable • Local Low – Medium High Low – Medium Medium • Relax • Wellbeing & lifestyle • Trustworthy • Comfortable • Professional • Direct Analysis Analysis Analysis Analysis Target audience Target audience Target audience Target audience Colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Colour palette Tone Class Class Class Class Tone Tone Tone APAX Sports Massage Therapy 11 Identity Strategies All right reserved for Kelvin Ho Design
  • 12. COMPETITOR ANALYSIS In the market of massage therapy, we can see the trend of using "wellness" to position the brand for higher class and targetting high price range. However, it may not suit the direction for APAX, due to its practical business nature and the service provided. APAX tend to uses the concept of "strong understanding on athletes need" as the selling point. With this strategy, we can see there are a lot of At present business, the position and selling point of APAX is in the process of development and need effort in enhancing the bargaining power to increase the service charge, especially in the high competitive market. Although an unqiue selling point is suggested. It requires a process (a period of time) to let the TA understand the "good" of the APAX service. As a result, it is recommended that the price can keep as "Low - Medium" and step by step to increase in the future. APAX should own a unique palette, which is different from the existing brand in the market. The graph can briefly show the recommended position of APAX. These will affect the visual look & message. Target audience & Tone Price range Colour Palette Position of Tone Relaxation / solving strain Sports performance LOW MEDIUM MEDIUM HIGH Target existing competitors doing the same concept in the market. In order to compete with them, it is recommended that APAX should show a more unique target group and reveal a clear service target, which the market now is now lack of. As a result, in terms of identity, the tone/ massage of "sport/ sportmanship", "focus", "boosting performance" should be a key to convey a visionary messsage which can show the difference to the other brands.

  • 13. SELLING POINT These selling point can be applied in tone of voice, content, messages and visual of the brand marketing, promotion, service and business direction. BOOST PERFORMANCE PRIVACY REGULAR MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SOLUTION LINK TO BODYBUILDING SAFE & PROFESSIONAL Primary selling points Secondary selling points The common sports massage therapy features is helping the patients to "fix" or "rehabilitate" their injuries. APAX services hopes to go a step ahead. It combines the knowledge of massage therapy and experience in sports to help improving the clients sports performance. This selling point makes that the service is not only demanded when injuries occur. Client can use the services as a regular maintenance. Moreover, the business shows strong connection with the bodybuilding industry, including Lucas, the founder, as a bodybuilder, famous bodybuilder client, promotion in the contest etc. This selling point shows its reputation, professionalism, making APAX more trustworthy on the specific point of interest for the customers. The secondary selling point is the fundamental features that APAX can provides through its service. They create reasons for customer to choose the services. APAX should bear in mind to achieve them. Violating these selling points may result in demage of the brand identity. APAX Sports Massage Therapy 13 Identity Strategies All right reserved for Kelvin Ho Design
  • 14. SWOT ANALYSIS The SWOT helps APAX to look into its good and bad sides. so we can plan our future direction and actions to keep the good, boost the good and solve the bad sides. STRENGTH WEAKNESS OPPORTUNITIES THREATS • Therapists with extensive knowledge of sports and combine with massage therapy knowledge. • Specialization in sports massage therapy, which is a niche area with high demand among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. • Use of practical techniques and equipment to provide effective and efficient treatment. • Strong reputation and positive reviews from clients. • Limited range of services offered, which may limit the potential customer base. • Limited marketing efforts, which may result in lower visibility and reduced customer acquisition. • Scale is small (in terms of space, size of therapist team) • The target is very specific, normal people may feel rejected from the service. • Increasing demand for sports massage therapy due to the growing popularity of sports and fitness activities. • Partnership with sports clubs or gyms to provide on-site services, which may increase exposure and accessibility. • Competition from other sports massage therapy providers, some of which may offer lower prices or a wider range of services. • Changes in regulations or licensing requirements, which may increase costs or limit the ability to provide certain services.
