Global Branding
The development process behind the V.A.C. Therapy Global Brand Guidelines ensured that every major local country was fully involved in the development process: both internal project leaders and all relevant customer groups. The resulting guidelines are being implemented eagerly and the resulting campaigns are impacting strongly in core commercially sensitive markets.
