Launching a new parent brand.

A business handling the waste streams most companies won't touch, but a parent brand almost nobody had heard of yet. They needed a brand that carried 25 years of operating credibility into lithium-ion, WEEE and secure destruction, and positioned them as the specialist those sectors call first.

hydro have been an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Marcus and the wider team listened to our challenges, understood our requirements and quickly delivered a project that far surpassed our expectations. We appointed hydro to evolve our existing brand and deliver a new website. Given the importance of this project, we undertook a thorough selection process involving several other agencies. hydro stood out as they were committed to supporting us from the offset and invested time into ensuring their proposal covered our exact requirements. The level of commitment did not change throughout the project, the team remained extremely responsive and delivered on time to the highest standards. I would have no hesitation recommending hydro!

Overview

A business handling the waste streams most companies won't touch, but a parent brand almost nobody had heard of yet. They needed a brand that carried 25 years of operating credibility into lithium-ion, WEEE and secure destruction, and positioned them as the specialist those sectors call first. So we first started by building the identity from the ground up and linking it back directly to what they stand for: compliance and operational capability.

Once the direction was aligned, we rolled those concepts out across every touchpoint the brand appears on:

- Building a complete visual identity for a technical register
- Applying that system to every printed and physical touchpoint
- Equipping the team with on-brand layouts for daily use
- Structuring services, sectors and compliance around values
- Building a scalable Webflow platform for new waste streams

That ran from the brand guidelines and full logo suite through to the presentation and document layouts the sales team work in daily, email signatures and LinkedIn banners, social layouts, the sales brochure and A5 flyer, vehicle livery, and site and office signage.

Vantage are now positioned as the specialist operator they are.

Not just a new parent brand.

A brand system designed to build recognition and convert traffic into enquiries.

The easiest one so far.

I've done quite a few in my time and this has definitely been the easiest one so far and that is down to the team at hydro.

Hit the nail on the head first time round.

So then a couple weeks later the first draft came through and honestly I was blown away, I sent Marcus a voice note I think as soon as I saw it and was like this is amazing, this was far beyond anything that I could imagine a first draft to be.

Your project could look like this.

The answers you're looking for.

What if my project needs change halfway through?

Priorities change, especially in fast-paced industries. For fixed projects, we’ll update the scope of work if anything new is needed. If you're on the subscription, we'll update your board in the hydro portal and continue delivering as usual.

Can you work with our in-house team?

100%. We’re used to working alongside internal teams and third-party partners to keep everyone aligned and the work moving. We plug into your team wherever needed: that’s how we work with clients like Nexl, Taurex and many others.

Why not hire designers or developers full-time?

Hiring full-time takes time, budget and long-term commitment. With us, you get a team ready to start right away, with no hiring and no onboarding.

hydro vs other agencies

Working with multiple contractors usually means more calls, and more headaches. At hydro, you get one integrated team with a dedicated client success manager. We handle everything from strategy to execution, saving you time and keeping the project on track.

How many people will I work with?

Depends on what you need. The Unlimited Plan gives you 1-2 designers, a motion designer, a Webflow developer and a client success manager. One-off projects are staffed to the scope.

Do you work on projects or subscription only?

Both. The Unlimited Plan is a monthly subscription for ongoing design and Webflow work, $4,999 a month, month to month. A brand or website can also run as a one-off project, quoted separately and paid over three milestones: 50% deposit, 25% on sign-off, 25% before go-live.

Can you help with branding, website, motion and graphic design?

Definitely. Whether it’s a new brand, a Webflow site or a full UX/UI revamp, we’ve delivered it all, quickly. You can pick what you need, when you need it. We'll bring it to life with ease.

How do I get started with you?

Just an accepted quote, signed T&Cs, and a first payment. That’s it. We get you onboarded fast so we can get to work the same day.

What does communication and workflow look like?

We work through our portal and Slack, giving you quick updates and tight feedback loops. No long meetings. Just consistent progress. We can also plug into the apps and workflows you already run, so nothing changes for your team.

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?

Yes, any time. Pause before your next billing date and you won't be billed while it's paused. To cancel, email us and it ends when the month you've paid for runs out.
