As a middle-sized B2B business founded in 2001, Drooms was a strong believer in the most conventional approaches of sales and marketing. The look of the company's previous corporate identity also would remind ourselves of B2B service providers of the yesteryears, combining a stoic unimaginative layout with the obvious usage of business stock photos and unnecessary strong drop shadows from the age of Web 2.0.

To keep up with its competitors in the virtual data room and digital services business, Drooms needs an uplift in visual and communication styles. How could we turn a classic, continuously recycled visual approach of B2B business into a fresh and modern looking brand, with engaging corporate communication style?
