Grennessminde – strengthened business focus and rebranding

We at mettethorsen.com contributed to strengthening the business focus of Taastrup-based Grennessminde, one of Denmark's largest socioeconomic enterprises. Furthermore, we delivered corporate rebranding and helped integrate selected UN Global Goals into their strategies and practices. A redesigned and more target-oriented website as well as new communication elements for sales and fundraising activities were just some of the features of the new brand that we developed.

Our primary responsibilities included: management, analysis, development and execution of strategies in business and organisational development, communications, design and visual storytelling about the selected UN Global Goals. All activities took place in close cooperation with the customer.
