Challenge


Although t-online had established itself as one of Germany's leading digital news platforms, parts of its public perception were still shaped by its origins within Deutsche Telekom. The challenge was to strengthen the brand's independent journalistic identity and create a consistent communication system that reflected the credibility, relevance and quality of its editorial work.

Outcome


A more editorial brand identity, a distinctive visual language and a differentiated tone of voice strengthened t-online's journalistic positioning. This helped clearly distinguish the brand from competitors such as Bild.de and WEB.DE while reinforcing its perception as an independent and trusted news platform.
