This year’s construction industry ‘Battle of the Bands’ hit the maximum band capacity (7 bands), sold out the 500 pax venue, and raised over $11k for charity!

The Refreshed Xmirus Brand Identity & Website

· Clients, General, Releases

Our Purpose - to provide ‘Strategies for Success’ - has provided Xmirus a strong foundation when talking about our organisation, but just as important to our purpose is our ability to adapt, modernise and evolve within the professional services environment.

At the end of March we successfully completed our second year of operations. There have been many goals achieved in those two years and the business has expanded and evolved since its inception. We are launching today our brand industry refresh, aimed at creating a single brand position and identity system so that regardless of where our clients are geographically located, or how they interact with our professionals, they receive a consistent and meaningful Xmirus experience and service.

We are building on the strong foundation of our existing brand identity, and making an investment in Xmirus’ future growth and development as a leadership brand in professional services for the property, construction and events industries.

We don’t know what communication tools will dominate our lives 10 years from now—or even five years from now. What’s crucial today can become quickly out of date. What we do know, however, is that the importance of making an impact that matters will always be relevant.

Our Purpose remains unchanged. Our services and brand identity will continue to modernise, as we need it to, to ensure Xmirus always stands out among its competitors.
