The Challenge
Ruby Paediatric & Adolescent Clinic, a newly established healthcare provider specialising in paediatric and adolescent care, wanted to build a brand that felt approachable to both children and their families. Their goal was to create a memorable visual identity that conveyed warmth, trust, and professionalism, while reducing the anxiety often associated with medical visits.
Branding & Positioning:
At the heart of Ruby’s request was a need for a brand that resonated with their young patients while reassuring parents. Through our comprehensive Branding & Positioning service, we:
• Brand Discovery: We facilitated in-depth discussions with the Ruby team to clearly define their mission, values, and what set them apart in the healthcare market. Our goal was to develop a brand that reflected their commitment to child-friendly care while ensuring parents felt confident in their services.
• Buyer Personas: Understanding both children’s and parents’ emotional needs was crucial. We crafted personas for their key target audience segments, enabling us to tailor the brand experience to each group. These personas included not only demographics but psychological insights that informed the visual identity.
• Behavioural Psychology: With a focus on emotional response, we used principles of Behavioural Psychology to design a brand that eased the natural anxiety children feel in medical environments. This approach was equally aimed at instilling trust and confidence in parents.
Design & Visual Identity:
The visual components of the brand were developed to foster a sense of ease for both children and parents:
• Logo Design: We created a logo featuring a playful, friendly child illustration that helped connect emotionally with young patients. The design balanced warmth with professionalism, striking the right tone for a healthcare provider.
• Colour Palette: A carefully selected, soft colour palette with warm tones was chosen to reduce anxiety and evoke calmness and trust, creating a welcoming environment for families.
• Graphic Design: Consistent visual elements, such as soft lines and approachable typography, were applied across all brand materials—brochures, banners, signage, and uniforms—ensuring a cohesive brand experience.
• Typography: We selected a clear, bold, yet friendly font for the clinic’s name, ensuring readability while maintaining a sense of professionalism and approachability.
Results & Impact:
• Strong Brand Identity: The new visual identity allowed Ruby Clinic to stand out in the competitive healthcare landscape, instantly communicating its core values of warmth, trust, and child-centered care.
• Welcoming Atmosphere: The branding helped foster a welcoming and reassuring environment for both children and their parents, setting Ruby Clinic apart as a provider that understands the emotional aspects of healthcare.
• Foundation for Future Growth: With a strong, cohesive brand identity in place, Ruby Clinic is well-positioned for future growth, laying the groundwork for ongoing marketing and branding efforts.
Key Takeaways:
• Branding with Behavioural Insights: A child-focused brand built on the principles of behavioural psychology can significantly enhance the patient experience by reducing anxiety and building trust.
• Visual Identity’s Role in Healthcare: A carefully designed visual identity can serve as a powerful tool in establishing a clinic’s reputation and fostering long-term relationships with patients and families.
