Branding in Essen: questions

Which companies shape the market in Essen?

Large energy, construction and retail groups: RWE, Hochtief, Aldi Nord, Evonik and Deichmann, Europe's largest shoe retailer, all run major operations from Essen. Smaller suppliers here often sell to these groups and need to look as professional as their customers. Source: Wikipedia: Essen, Economy

How should an Essen company prepare a brand for Messe Essen?

With around 50 trade fairs a year, from Security and E-world to SPIEL and Equitana, many Essen firms meet customers at the stand. Stand, brochure and website should come from one brand system so visitors recognise you everywhere. Source: Wikipedia: Essen, Fairs

What can Essen retail brands learn from Aldi Nord and Deichmann?

Both grew from Essen into chains known across Europe. Their lesson for smaller retailers is consistency: one name, one look and one tone across shops, packaging and online, applied the same way by every team. Source: Wikipedia: Essen, Economy
