Taking the lead in Hong Kong hospital branding

Established in 1907, Matilda International Hospital is a leading healthcare service provider and world class private hospital in Hong Kong. Matilda has a long tradition of leadership and bringing innovation to healthcare in Asia.

Matilda commissioned Stepworks to create an identity that expressed its premium global standards, and provide a foundation for future communications initiatives. The objective was to align the hospital’s corporate identity with its strong reputation for staying at the forefront of medical advancement.

Brand building gets easier with effective tools

An important objective of the Matilda rebranding was to give the team the resources necessary to develop future communications initiatives.

We assist Matilda’s brand builders with a guided toolbox approach. A short animated video was produced to inspire Matilda with ways they could apply various components.

In addition to comprehensive guidelines, an on-brand presentation deck showed the way forward.

Enhanced approachability – The new design reflects Matilda’s genuine friendliness and approachability, and helps to correct misperceptions of exclusivity.
