Rebranding one of technology’s fastest growing global brands.

HCLTech is the new name for one of the fastest growing global technology companies on the planet.

We were tasked with the launch of an entirely new brand identity, underpinned by our fresh position of Supercharging Progress™ to reflect its commitment to clients, its people, communities and the planet.

The company’s new HCLTech brand is at the heart of its go-to-market strategy and represents its differentiated portfolio of services and products that supercharge digital transformation for enterprises at scale.

An entirely reconsidered design system, communications platform & messaging have been developed to be deployed across thousands of touch-points around the planet.

‘In 52 countries — powered by over 211,000+ employees — this global brand is fully embracing new ways to best engage with people excited about tomorrow.’

‘For HCLTech, Supercharging Progress is about accelerating the digital transformation for our clients everyday as well as the ethos of the organization to advance the aspirations of our people, contribute to a sustainable planet and uplift local communities across our global footprint.’
