(The brief)

Retrofit makes a transformation
sound like maintenance.

BEDEO converts diesel vans to electric instead of replacing them. Useful, but the word around it was “retrofit”.

(01 · The reframe)

I stopped thinking about conversion and started thinking about rebirth. The image that unlocked it was almost religious: arms raised, that moment of release when something comes back better than before.

born again as electric.

That opened a whole visual world of revelation and celebration, and gave a dry B2B product real personality while the proposition stayed clear.

(02 · Where it lived)

Advertising, social, and the vans themselves, which made the product its own media.

(03 · What it did)

It won the pitch,
then it stuck.

Reborn Electric became the name of BEDEO’s retrofit line. It’s still what they call it.
