EnergyTech Brand Identity and
Website for Rivus
Customer Profile
Background
Rivus is a climate tech startup that has developed a novel energy storage technology to help power the clean energy transition. The company’s redox flow batteries address a critical gap in the market for reliable long-duration storage of renewable energy. Unlike other battery technologies, Rivus uses readily available organic materials instead of mined metals, resulting in a significantly smaller environmental impact.
Challenge
As a new company with sustainable and innovative technology, Rivus wanted to communicate how their battery technology contributes to a clean and green future for all. Through a tender process done by InnoEnergy, the incubator of Rivus, Orange Bird was chosen to develop the brand identity and build a website for Rivus that differentiates the company, creates awareness, and drives adoption of its sustainable battery technology.
How Orange Bird Helped
Orange Bird proposed and executed four marketing modules for Rivus:
Establishing the Rivus Brand Identity
Distinct and evocative branding is essential for making a lasting impact. Orange Bird crafted a brand identity that encapsulates Rivus’ mission, values, and technological innovation.
Rivus means "river" in Latin, and the company’s batteries use flow technology. With these factors guiding the branding strategy, a river theme became central to the brand identity and website design Orange Bird crafted for Rivus.
Drawing inspiration from two nature symbols dear to the founder - the mighty river and the majestic elk - Orange Bird used a clean color palette and minimalistic typography with nature-based imagery that marries power and stability. This identity was consolidated into a comprehensive brand book, providing clear guidelines to maintain consistency across all brand touchpoints.
Impact Storytelling to Foster Connection
To create an authentic narrative, Orange Bird collaborated closely with Rivus, uncovering the company’s origins, the motivation behind its technology, and its environmental and societal goals. Industry data and branding insights were woven into a compelling Impact Story, designed to forge an emotional connection with audiences while delivering key facts. This narrative serves as a key content marketing piece on the Rivus website.
A Website Designed for Awareness and Action
Orange Bird developed an intuitive and engaging HubSpot-based website that showcases Rivus’ unique value proposition while maintaining alignment with the brand identity.
During the planning phase, Orange Bird worked with Rivus to define target audience segments and buyer personas. This informed the creation of tailored user journeys, ensuring that each segment's needs were met while guiding them toward meaningful actions.
