    When Russian telecommunications specialist General DataComm was in need of a stronger brand to support its new business strategy and to help it expand into the global market, it approached London-based consultancy Heavenly for help. Having switched from being a distributor of products to a developer of its own products, the challenge was to create a single-minded and inspiring brand to support and reflect its new business strategy.
   It was equally important to gain a people-focused, creative and differentiated global market position that would allow the company to grow globally and tap into the next generation of Russian business. Heavenly created a new brand positioning based around the idea ‘Imagine Better’, which calls on employees to use creativity to drive improvements and challenges the market to consider a different point of view. The undifferentiated and dull visual identity was replaced by an eclectic and conspicuous identity that pays homage to people and ideas.
   Emerging with a new name alongside a refreshed positioning and visual identity, Imaqliq has now successfully transformed into a confident and progressive company with people and ideas at its heart.
