NEC Contracts, published by the Institution of Civil Engineers, are the global gold standard for delivery contracts within the built environment. But with the industry progressively adopting digitisation, there was a need to move the popular contract suite onto a digital platform – Contract Horizon.

What did we find that’s extraordinary? Contract Horizon allows procuring organisations to create, share, edit and compile NEC Contracts in a much more efficient way.

How we extracted the extraordinary

After interviewing key stakeholders (including the NEC sales team and digital tool developers) to get a detailed understanding of the new product, we developed a messaging platform for this ground-breaking digital tool, based on four key pillars – Control, Flexibility, Efficiency and Security. In addition to this, we also created a bespoke visual identity which reflected NEC Contracts’ move to a digital platform. All of these elements were compiled in a top-level visual style guide.

Once this product brand foundation had been established, we developed a series of ‘teaser’ promotional materials aimed at select prospective customers prior to the formal launch at an international customer event. As part of this launch, we produced a series of marketing materials, including a brochure and an animated video to highlight the key product benefits.
