Case Study

(01) Introduction

As Bybe prepared to scale in a competitive market, they partnered with Nucleus to redefine their brand identity and position the company for growth. Shortly after the brand redesign, Bybe was acquired by Swiftly, a move amplified by the clarity and strength of its new positioning in the retail tech landscape.

A BRAND REDESIGN AND POSITIONING UPDATE FOR A RETAIL PROMOTIONS PLATFORM

Bybe engaged Nucleus to evolve its visual identity and strategic positioning as it prepared to expand its reach in the alcohol retail space. Nucleus worked closely with the Bybe team to clarify messaging, articulate product value, and craft a visual language that communicated sophistication, trust, and innovation.

The redesigned brand system included a refreshed identity, updated visual elements, and supporting assets to unify Bybe’s presence across web and product touchpoints. This effort helped articulate a distinct position for Bybe that resonated with both retailers and brand partners.

Shortly after the redesign was completed, Bybe was acquired by Swiftly, underscoring the momentum and market confidence sparked by the updated brand and strategic positioning. The work helped pave the way for integration into Swiftly’s broader platform while honoring Bybe’s original vision and impact.
