HandyTube
OUR CHALLENGE.
HandyTube Corporation is a U.S.-based manufacturer of seamless stainless steel tubing used in numerous industries, including aerospace and defense, oil and gas, and health care and life sciences. While HandyTube enjoyed many competitive advantages, those advantages were overshadowed by brand confusion and a lack of distinctiveness in the marketplace.
With plans for product line and geographic expansion in play, HandyTube needed help promoting its recognizability, defining its capabilities and opening the company to new and global markets.
OUR SOLUTION.
HandyTube engaged Agency McKenna to develop a reinvigorated and distinctive brand to serve as the foundation for future marketing and communications campaigns.
After conducting extensive research with internal and external stakeholders, we used our insights to establish a positioning strategy that would drive the development of HandyTube’s branding assets. HandyTube’s new logo and tagline provide a unique brand identity that position the company for dynamic and continued growth. Agency McKenna also created a digital campaign highlighting the company’s valuable niche capabilities.
CREATING A REVITALIZED BRAND.

CALLING ALL BRAND AMBASSADORS.
