Background & Brief

There are only 13 Shipping Protection & Indemnity Clubs in the world. Britannia was the first, established in 1855. It was also the most prestigious with a reputation for exceptional service, however they were also perceived as old school and old-fashioned.

Change was needed to maintain and improve Britannia’s position in the hierarchy of the International Shipping Community.

Brand Cooke was commissioned to produce an in-depth Brand Audit and Strategy Paper, which led to a total rebrand of the Club.

Gary spearheaded our rebrand, moving us from ‘traditional but dusty’ to a striking and effective image that has enabled us to better project ourselves whilst preserving our core values.”

Andrew Cutler, CEO, Britannia P&I

Our Idea

Our primary focus was to reinforce the heritage of Britannia P&I, without it appearing old-fashioned. There was much discussion on how the Club would be described and we evolved the simple but effective strapline…

We established the Club’s values by integrating them into simple statements using P&I to reinforce Britannia’s connection with Protection & Indemnity – Prestige & Integrity, Precise & Informed, Professional & International, Prudence & Investment, People & Initiative. The Britannia symbol (inspired by the plimsoll line), becomes an ampersand when reversed and links the P&I values.
A three part ad campaign launched the new Britannia brand identity in consecutive issues of the Tradewinds newspaper

And…

Since its launch in May 2017, Britannia has had one of its best years. Many changes have been made in the brand culture and operations of the Club which looks to be setting course for not only the most prestigeous but the Finest P&I Club in the world.
