ACR

A Journey from tech company
to a lifestyle brand

ACR, the global leader in emergency response survival beacons, was looking to transform its brand from a B2B technology company to a B2C lifestyle brand.

SAY YES TO NEW ADVENTURES

Whereas before ACR had tended to present their products alongside images of dark and threatening survival situations, that they had found often turned their customers off, we developed a new look and feel focusing on the upbeat, adventurous activities of ACR consumers, positioning the beacons as lifestyle-enabling products.

WE’VE GOT
YOUR BACK 

There’s virtually no limit to how far you can go with the right support system. The familiar phrase ‘We’ve Got Your Back’ creates the notion of a tribe, one that motivates people to roam freely and safely knowing that with ACR, they’re never alone.
