We build industrial brands for Canada.

We work with Canadian manufacturers, engineers and resource businesses to build a brand that matches what they can actually do. Strategy first, then the identity, website and content to carry it.

John Brooks branded truck

Canadian industrial businesses are better than their brands let on. Buyers judge them on a website, a capability statement and a logo from ten years ago.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the best choice if your customers can’t see it.

Real problems.

You sound like everyone else.

Quality, safety, experienced team, on time and on budget. Every competitor from Vancouver to Halifax says the same. When every bid reads the same, buyers fall back on price. A clear position gives them a reason to pick you.

You don’t show them the proof they need.

Procurement teams and engineers check you online before they call. They find stock photos and a list of services, not the jobs that prove you can deliver. Without proof, you look like a risk.

Big-city agencies don’t get industrial.

Most agencies are built for consumer brands. They want to start with a logo and a mood board. We start with your business, your buyers and how they decide, because that is where industrial brands are won.

John Brooks brand

Case study

John Brooks. Sixty years of know-how that looked like a parts counter.

John Brooks has kept New Zealand’s factories, farms and processing plants moving since 1964. Maintenance managers know the name, but from the outside the brand looked like any other parts supplier, so new buyers compared it on price and lead time.

We built the brand around what John Brooks has always been: a partner, not a parts counter. A new line, Your Partners in Motion, a brandmark built on partnership and legacy, industry sub-brands, and real photography and storytelling in every place a buyer looks.

What changes.

You win on more than price.

When the panel can see the proof, you stop being one of four similar quotes.

Your tenders work harder.

One clear story, written once and carried through capability statements, case studies and proposals.

Better people want to join you.

Good people choose employers the way clients choose suppliers. A brand that looks the part helps you hire.

Why nim.

The nim creative team working through a brand together

We only work with industrial businesses. And we’re closer than you think.

Auckland is a day ahead of Canada. Send us a brief at the end of your day and wake up to progress. Afternoon in Vancouver is morning here, so there is still time to talk live.

We start with strategy: what you do better, who buys it and why they should believe you. Then we build an industrial branding system that makes it obvious, and keep it working through content and marketing.

We have videographers and photographers in the US to capture real content of your people and your work. Not stock.
