The document discusses revitalizing the CASIO brand by leveraging the successful G-Shock sub-brand. It proposes infusing CASIO's corporate brand with G-Shock's exciting, colorful image to make CASIO seem more dynamic and stylish. Key elements of the rebranding plan include launching concept stores globally, sponsoring pop-up stores at events, and using taglines that encourage consumers to capture, color and create their lives with CASIO products. The goal is to reposition CASIO as a provider of innovative, rugged electronics that enable active lifestyles.

Communications to consumers are product-focused;
there is no unified brand message
Promotional approaches greatly vary by product and customer segment
CASIO caters to specific needs of various local markets

6. 7/17/2013 6
CASIO is not on the leading edge of the markets it serves; trends
of increasing convergence/specialization in consumer
electronics products further stymie brand performance
• With the increasing sophistication of mobile
technologies, the demand for calculators,
single function compact digital cameras
and time pieces will continue to decrease
• At the same time, consumers are becoming
more savvy about product offerings and
increasingly demand more specialized
products (DSLRs and micro four thirds)

7. 7/17/2013 7
CASIO is an undifferentiated, fatigued brand
that is rapidly deteriorating

8. 7/17/2013 8
Most of CASIO’s current visual world does not connect
with consumers on an emotional level and lacks energy
mass market | staid | unfocused | ubiquitous

Our objectives are to create a branding concept that will:
- Elevate, differentiate and create excitement about the
CASIO brand
- Leverage CASIO’s more innovative products and premium
sub-brands
- Create an ideal brand architecture for CASIO and its
premium sub-brands

Concept store in London is a step in the right direction
Goal of concept store is to reset the retail experience and tone
for CASIO's premium sub-brands

We plan to revitalize the CASIO corporate brand
by infusing it with the current G-Shock brand image

Revitalize CASIO’s previous brand image by adding
color, energy, and style to capture brand’s new vision
and personality, yet keeping it recognizable by
maintaining its signature font

14. G-Shock’s existing exciting, colorful brand image is
a strong foundation for CASIO’s repositioning
adventurous | rhythmic | dynamic | irreverent
