Grundfos
Bringing a new brand platform to life across the corporate storyline.
Business challenge
Make it work.
With “Possibility in every drop”, Grundfos had a brand platform in place.
However, translating it into a corporate storyline that resonated across diverse audiences, from customers to partners, employees, and future talent, was a complex challenge. The corporate website had to serve multiple functions, reinforcing Grundfos’ leadership in water and energy efficiency, guiding users towards relevant business areas, and ensuring a cohesive experience across all corporate touchpoints.
Grundfos had made several internal attempts to define this narrative, but with many stakeholders involved, aligning the storytelling into one unified experience proved difficult. The company needed a strategic and creative partner who could take “Possibility in every drop” and make it work, not just as a marketing statement but as a compelling, structured corporate story that could connect every part of the business.
Strategic insight
Allow the audience to feel the impact.
Grundfos is more than a pump company. At its core, it is a company that advances the flow of water while reducing energy use. This balance between water and energy was already fundamental to its technology and innovation. However, it wasn’t fully reflected in the corporate storytelling.
Through our deep dive into the brand, we identified the need for a clearer narrative structure, one that would allow “Possibility in every drop” to unfold naturally across different sections of the website while reinforcing Grundfos’ role in solving global water and energy challenges.
The key was not just to state what Grundfos does, but to create an engaging experience that allowed audiences to feel the impact of their work.
We also saw that sustainability needed to be positioned not as a standalone element but as a core storyline woven throughout the entire corporate experience. For Grundfos, sustainability is not a department or an initiative, it is embedded in every part of the business. Structuring the corporate narrative to reflect this was critical.
Creative solution
Advancing flow.
Reducing energy.
To bring the brand positioning to life, we developed a structured corporate narrative that unfolded seamlessly across Grundfos.com.
This was not just about writing content, it was about creating a storytelling experience that connected every part of the company’s digital presence. We introduced “Advancing flow. Reducing energy” as a strong supporting communication concept, a bridge between the brand positioning and Grundfos’ expertise in water and energy efficiency. While “Possibility in every drop” set the vision, “Advancing flow. Reducing energy” made it tangible, reinforcing Grundfos’ commitment to innovation and sustainability in a way that was both engaging and commercially relevant.
To ensure alignment across the organization, we also developed a vision prototype, a strategic tool we use that allowed internal stakeholders to see how the new corporate narrative would unfold across the website. This interactive model helped bring clarity to complex discussions, ensuring that every department could visualize the future corporate experience before implementation began.
Our work also redefined how sustainability was communicated across Grundfos.com. Rather than being positioned as a separate initiative, sustainability was integrated as a fundamental part of the company’s identity, ensuring that every touchpoint reflected Grundfos’ role in addressing global water and climate challenges.
Too often, sustainability is treated as an afterthought, relegated to annual reports that few take the time to open, despite the wealth of impactful stories within them. With so many meaningful initiatives to share, it was essential for us to ensure that sustainability wasn’t just a section on the site but a series of individual stories brought to life through creative content, making Grundfos’ commitment to water and climate solutions visible, engaging, and deeply connected to its overall corporate narrative.
Collaboration and implementation
Aligning different perspectives
was crucial.
With a complex stakeholder environment, aligning different perspectives was crucial. The vision prototype became an essential tool in bridging conversations across teams, allowing leadership, content creators, technical teams and internal brand/design teams to work towards a shared goal. By structuring the corporate storytelling in a way that was both strategic and intuitive, we ensured that “Possibility in every drop” was not just communicated but experienced.
Results
Combining strategic storytelling with a structured corporate experience.
Today, Grundfos.com stands as a corporate experience that fully embodies the company’s brand positioning. Our work has provided a framework for how Grundfos tells its story, that connects the brand, the business, and sustainability into a cohesive digital presence. By combining strategic storytelling with a structured corporate experience, we helped transform from a positioning statement into a living, breathing narrative that drives engagement, understanding, and impact.
