Revving Up - A Powersports Brand Built for Every Ride

Century EverRide: Building on a Strong Foundation with Strategic Rebranding

Century Batteries, a key player in the Australian automotive market, is launching a strategic range of powersports products under its EverRide portfolio. By leveraging the well-established Century name, Century aims to build on its existing reputation and brand equity.

This visual rebrand, guided by Viabrand®’s award-winning Brand Visioning™ Framework, is designed to enhance the Century EverRide market presence and strengthen its connection with customers while capitalising on Century Batteries’ strong brand foundation. 

Century Batteries: A Legacy of Strength and Innovation

With nearly 100 years of leadership in the automotive battery industry, Century is poised to build on the strong foundation of its parent company, Century Yuasa Batteries. Established in 1928, Century Batteries has become a household name in Australia, recognised for its iconic blue and yellow branding, exceptional product quality, and commitment to local manufacturing and expertise. 

To further strengthen this foundation, Century partnered with Viabrand® for a comprehensive rebranding initiative to it’s EverRide range. Leveraging the Brand Visioning™ Framework, an insight-driven approach was employed to ensure that every element of the rebrand was thoughtfully planned and executed, positioning Century EverRide for continued growth and deeper connections with its customers. 

Research and Insights: A Strategy-First Approach

Viabrand® rigorously stress-tested existing research, insights, and competitor assessments to guide the rebranding process. Leveraging advanced tools like market analysis, industry benchmarking, and AI-driven insights, Viabrand® gained a deep understanding of market trends and customer preferences. This comprehensive approach uncovered key opportunities and challenges within the powersports battery market, enabling Century EverRide to align its strategy closely with the needs of its target audience and deliver a more impactful solution.

Brand Identity: Crafting a Compelling Visual Story

Viabrand® created a cohesive visual identity for Century EverRide, featuring a refreshed logo, colour palette, and typography that encapsulated the brand’s essence of adventure and reliability. This new visual language was designed to be consistent across all platforms, helping differentiate Century EverRide from competitors and solidifying its position as a leader in the motorcycle battery market. 

Brand Touchpoints: Creating a Seamless Customer Experience

Ensuring consistency across all brand touchpoints was essential. Viabrand® implemented the new identity across digital channels—such as brand videos and social media ads—as well as physical sales materials, including point-of-sale displays, print advertisements, merchandise, and sales literature.

The strategy also incorporated 3D product renders and animations, allowing Century EverRide to control product placement pre-manufacturing and clearly communicate product features and benefits. This seamless integration of the new brand identity reinforced Century EverRide’s presence and ensured a cohesive customer journey. 

Brand Marketing: Amplifying the Brand’s Reach and Impact

In the final phase, Viabrand® developed a marketing strategy aimed at maximising Century EverRide’s reach. The approach blended digital and traditional advertising with content marketing and promotions, reinforcing the brand’s identity and position. This cohesive marketing plan, built on earlier insights, effectively targeted Century EverRide’s audience and supported the brand’s growth across all channels. 

Harnessing AI for Enhanced Creativity and Cost-Effective Campaign Imagery

As part of the EverRide campaign, we embraced and experimented with cutting-edge AI-generated imagery to produce captivating visuals at a fraction of the usual cost. By leveraging the latest media creation technologies, we explored a wide range of on-brand concepts that seamlessly aligned with EverRide’s tone, colour palette, and design elements. This innovative approach allowed us to deliver high-quality visuals that showcased the product’s features and applications with precision, all while maintaining cost efficiency. 

The result?
Striking imagery that exceeded client expectations while staying within budget constraints. To further elevate the campaign, we incorporated 3D product renders and animations for the hero product, adding depth and dynamic storytelling that brought the brand to life. These 3D renders provided an engaging, detailed look at the product, allowing customers to explore key features and benefits in ways that static imagery simply couldn’t achieve. 

The Result: A Stronger, More Resilient Brand

Thanks to the Brand Visioning™ process, Century EverRide has successfully completed a rebranding initiative that not only strengthened its market position but also deepened its connection with customers. By aligning the brand with current market trends and refining its visual and strategic identity, Century EverRide has laid a solid foundation for future growth and long-term success.  

Looking Ahead: A Confident Path to the Future

The strategic rebranding of Century EverRide has positioned the brand for continued success in the Australian motorcycle battery market. With a refreshed identity, a clear strategic direction, and an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, Century EverRide is now well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of its customers and maintain its reputation as a trusted name in power solutions. 

As Century EverRide continues to build on the legacy of Century Batteries, the brand remains focused on delivering exceptional products and experiences that empower Australian riders. With a renewed focus on quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction, Century EverRide is set to lead the motorcycle battery market for years to come, embodying the spirit of adventure and innovation every step of the way.
