The project was established on the basis that regions around the world are competing for investment, visitors, talent and positive media attention - and that the Greater Birmingham, and the wider West Midlands region, needs to stand out in this crowded and competitive global environment. The aim of this project is to appoint a supplier to further develop the competitive position ‘Make Your Mark’, in particular the creative application of the concept, and to develop resources for implementation. The brief includes; - Visualise the brand – to provide consistency of application that allows sufficient flexibility for use across the West Midlands Combined Authority geography, and that will resonate with a wide base of people and sectors; and - Develop brand tools – that will support with both adoption and implementation, and will also facilitate regional engagement, which has been the foundations of this project to-date.
