Brand Naming and Positioning Strategy: Transforming Mint IT into Both Brains

Brand naming and positioning strategy play a critical role in creating differentiation in crowded markets. When Mint IT approached Spruik, the business had evolved. However, its name and identity no longer reflected its true value. We developed a brand naming and positioning strategy designed to capture both the technical expertise and human approach that defined the business.

The Challenge

The IT services category is highly competitive, with many providers offering similar services and messaging.

Mint IT faced three key challenges:

  • the name lacked meaning and memorability
  • the identity did not reflect the business personality
  • the brand struggled to stand out in a cluttered market

As a result, the business was not fully communicating its value to potential clients.

The Strategy

We developed a brand naming and positioning strategy based on duality.

The objective was to create a name that:

  • captured both sides of the business
  • was memorable and distinctive
  • created a platform for long-term brand storytelling

This led to a simple but powerful idea:

Both Brains

The name communicates balance, intelligence, and versatility.

Importantly, it positions the business beyond services and into a clear and ownable brand space.

The Creative System

The identity system was designed to reinforce the strategic idea.

Visually and verbally, the brand expresses contrast and balance.

  • bold, simple naming
  • clear and confident tone of voice
  • visual language that reflects duality

The result is a brand that is both visually and aurally distinctive, creating strong recognition across touchpoints.

The Outcome

The new brand provides a scalable platform for growth.

By aligning name, positioning, and identity, the business can now:

  • communicate its value more clearly
  • attract the right clients
  • build long-term brand equity

This project demonstrates a key principle:

A strong name does more than identify a business.
It defines how it is understood.
