BYD

As a legacy MPS (now part of 9H) client, we revisited their existing assets, reworked their positioning for a local audience, and launched a brand presence that felt both grounded and ambitious, and included local references.

A Strategic Milestone

BYD’s launch in Malta with GasanZammit marked an important step in its European expansion. It called for a considered approach, one that reflected global credentials while speaking directly to the Maltese market.

Locally Tuned

We developed a tailored brand strategy to connect with Maltese audiences, bringing relevance and clarity to a fast-growing global brand.

Synergistic Partnership

Close collaboration between MPS and BYD enabled a seamless integration of insights, fostering shared ownership and a unified vision throughout the process.

Summary

This project was about local relevance with global weight. BYD joined forces with us to adapt their brand for the Maltese market upon their entry. We designed a clear communication strategy that resonated with all key stakeholders with the aim of establishing this brand to the market. The initiative focussed on customising the brand to engage local consumers, establishing a cohesive and impactful presence, and maintaining close teamwork to deliver a smooth and well-coordinated brand transformation.

The launch was supported by strategic placements that support local talent and events, including partnerships with major local events like the Malta Euro Vision Song Festival, boosting visibility and driving engagement from day one.
