Virgin Media

When large organisations come together, it’s always big news. But when the companies in question are in the fast-paced media business, it means a huge amount of work to extremely tight deadlines.

So when NTL, Telewest and Virgin Mobile became one, it meant the mammoth task of rebranding thousands of different elements to create a consistent brand look and feel across the new business.

From the day it was formed from three separate companies, Virgin Media became the largest of the Virgin businesses, employing 28,000 staff across the UK. The rebranding task included signage for 50 offices, livery for 4,500 vehicles, 27,000 security passes and lanyards that needed designing and producing, 70 types of mobile retail displays and 18,000 woolly hats.

And it was Integrity’s experience in managing large change projects combined with our procurement expertise that helped make it all happen.
