RiechesBaird was selected to create the new company's brand after a national search and evaluation of the best brand strategy firms in the industry. The firm's process in developing the new brand involves research and brand strategy, and will create a new corporate identity. RiechesBaird will utilize its' experience to guide the executive team through the process, leading up to an internal and external launch.
"When we began our effort to select a strategic branding partner, the top priority was to find a company that knows business," said Alan Chapple, director of corporate communications for Georgia Gulf. "RiechesBaird is a firm that has successfully created a new name, logo and corporate identity for many companies. Their business-to-business expertise will be key to developing a brand that captures the essence of the new company and the importance of our products, and also energizes our employees, captivates our customers and resonates with shareholders and other external audiences."
"The new brand will help give form and substance to this exciting opportunity to create an entirely new and different kind of company," said Alan Brew, a principal at RiechesBaird. "The brand will help the new company reinforce its vision of becoming an integrated chemicals and building products powerhouse."
The branding engagement involves research and brand strategy, name and identity development and a roll-out of the new brand. The RiechesBaird team will be working closely with the executive team in the development of the new company, guiding the executive team through the process, leading up to an internal and external launch.
Atlanta-based Georgia Gulf and Pittsburgh-based PPG announced on July 19, 2012, terms of the deal in which a new company would be formed. The new company will remain in Atlanta, and the combined business is expected to have annual sales of approximately $5 billion.
