COG Branding’s Work

The Brief

Taren Point Bowling Club had experienced volatility during the pandemic and had not pivoted their branding during this time. Emerging from the pandemic restrictions and operating environment the club needed to address their brand, ensuring that their messaging to customers was clear, bringing a refreshed form of communication whilst maintaining business as usual.

Taren Point Bowling Club needed to rebrand and engage a Communications Strategy to re-establish the brand position. COG Branding inherited a legacy of very little brand intelligence and some analogue and basic brand management systems and processes. COG Branding’s focus was to understand the business case, the club’s audience and patrons, the way they currently communicated and the general view that the public had of the business.

COG Branding’s job was to ensure the Taren Point Bowling Club rebrand allowed them to be set up for as little disruption to their BAU as possible. A key part of the brief would be to support the General Manager in their objectives and vision to allow the business to begin performing post-Pandemic.

Taren Point Bowling Club is a typical Clubs NSW industry business which follows standard rules and regulations, thus COG Branding’s design and brand assets needed to conform to this environment.
