// Internal Rebrand / B2B Agency

Rebranding a marketing agency into a change agency

Impact Managed Marketing needed more than a refresh. They needed a new identity that matched how they actually work: diagnosing what's broken, designing what's possible, and delivering measurable change. The rebrand repositioned IMM from "marketing agency" to "change agency" with a new elevator pitch, brand voice system, proprietary methodology, and an all-company reveal.

Impact Managed Marketing is a change agency for CEOs and business owners exhausted by marketing that overpromises and underdelivers. 80% of CEOs say they don't trust marketers. That stat became the starting point for IMM's rebrand. The company had outgrown its original positioning and needed language that reflected what it actually delivers: structured systems, data-driven insights, and measurable business outcomes. Not campaigns. Breakthroughs.

The "change agency" concept gave IMM a clear differentiator and a story that resonates with the C-suite. The elevator pitch, brand voice documentation, and internal messaging framework are designed to roll out company-wide, giving every team member a consistent way to articulate what IMM does and why it's different.

All-Company Reveal

Presented to 1,000+ employees. Built to change how they talk about what they do.

The brand reveal debuted at Impact's annual all-company meeting, presented by the President of Managed Marketing to an audience of more than 1,000 employees in person and digitally. The challenge was real on two fronts: internally, IMM was broadly perceived as a group of creatives disconnected from business strategy. Externally, the company was losing potential customers who couldn't clearly articulate what Impact Managed Marketing actually did. These assets were the answer to both.

Eureka! Method / Proprietary methodology

The original ask began with a challenge: turn leadership's alphabet soup of internal processes into an ownable, public-facing marketing methodology. Inspired by the similar patterns of planning, iteration, and discovery that lead to breakthroughs in both scientific and creative fields, the Eureka! Method was born.
