In Danish LYS means light. Short, simple and straight to the point. LYS looks beyond the lifespan of a lightbulb, aesthetics of a lamp, and the technology of smart lighting. Instead, they focus on what should always come first: people and supporting their healthy livelihood.

LYS is on a mission to enable personal light adjusted to people’s inner rhythms and daily routines, enabling healthier living with light and to make it available for everyone.

↑ LYS Product Suite

LYS Technology was re-positioning its business from being a B2C wearable tech company to becoming a B2B software as a service (SaaS) company, leveraging a large database on circadian rhythms and light intake.

In the light of such radical shift, a company must revisit its go to market strategy, in order to repositioning the company with high impact. Hence, revitalising and refreshing the brand narrative, value proposition, and visual identity is crucial to make a clear and consistent footprint under new market circumstances.

↑ LYS Brand Strategy

In close collaboration with LYS, we proposed a 5-week process to revitalise the LYS brand to fit its new business strategy and thus audience. The first two weeks was focused on gaining relevant internal and external market insights, together with LYS. This served as the foundation for crafting the company value proposition, that lead the company vision and drive market awareness. The following two weeks of strategy we built a strong foundation for a new verbal and visual identity that reflected our vision, value proposition, and customer needs and wants.
