Helping Amex GBT Bring Its Global Rebrand to Life

We partnered with American Express Global Business Travel to create an animated brand film that introduced its evolving global identity and helped customers understand the story behind the change.

The Project

Communicating more than a new visual identity

A global rebrand is not only about changing how a business looks. Customers also need to understand what the change means, why it is happening and what remains consistent.

Amex GBT needed a clear and engaging way to introduce its updated global identity to customers across its business.

Our role was to turn the rebrand story into a concise animated film, making the relationship between the brands easy to follow while retaining the confidence, scale and credibility associated with Amex GBT.

Watch the Film

The Amex GBT rebrand story

A motion-led customer film created to make the new global brand structure feel clear, connected and memorable.

The Challenge

Making a complex brand change feel simple

The film needed to communicate an important organisational and brand evolution without overwhelming customers with unnecessary corporate detail.

It had to explain how the different businesses connected while presenting the rebrand as a natural step forward for an established global organisation.

The Creative Response

Building the story through movement

We used motion design to progressively reveal the new identity, allowing customers to see the relationship between each part of the business rather than simply being told about it.

Typography, graphic transitions and brand elements work together to create one connected visual journey, reflecting the clarity and confidence of the new global identity.

Our Approach

Making the rebrand clear through animation

Every creative decision was designed to make the rebrand easier to understand while maintaining the authority and credibility of a global business.

01

Message clarity

We structured the information into a clear narrative so customers could understand the reason for the change before encountering the new identity.

02

Brand-led motion

The visual language was developed from the brand system, using its typography, shapes and graphic devices as part of the storytelling.

03

Connected transitions

Each transition helps demonstrate how the individual businesses come together as part of one connected global proposition.

04

Global accessibility

The story was kept visually direct and easy to follow for an international customer audience across multiple markets.
