Corporate brand refreshes rolled out across many markets at once
Why it made the list
TBWA is a global creative network backed by Omnicom, with its own design discipline, DXD. In 2022 the telecoms group MTN refreshed its brand as part of its Ambition 2025 plan to move from network provider to technology company. TBWA pulled together its agencies Yellowwood and Grid TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris with DDB to do the work. They kept MTN's yellow and simplified the logo to black lettering inside an oval, within a communication platform meant to position MTN globally while staying relevant in each of its 18 markets. The rollout began in digital media before a TV spot carried the new positioning.
In 2026 DXD redesigned TBWA's own global identity and left about a fifth of the system open so each market can add local character.
Who should shortlist TBWA?
Corporate groups operating in many countries that need one refreshed identity with room for each market to add local detail.
