groa° is a pioneering AI company redefining how growth is built.
Founded on the principle of Retention-First Growth®, groa° uses advanced AI and intelligence architecture to uncover hidden value, eliminate waste, and drive sustainable, compounding profitability. We partnered with the groa° team to refine their brand strategy and visual identity - translating a complex, highly credible AI proposition into a clear, confident, and distinctive brand system. From positioning and language to proprietary AI-generated imagery, data visualisation, digital presence, and published thought leadership, the work elevates groa° as a serious, category-defining authority in the AI growth space.
Overview
groa° is a category-defining AI business built around a single, powerful idea: Retention-First Growth®. In a market saturated with acquisition-led noise, groa° uses applied AI and intelligence architecture to uncover hidden value, reduce waste, and drive sustainable, compounding profitability.
Our role was to help refine and elevate groa°’s brand strategy and visual expression translating a highly sophisticated AI proposition into a clear, confident, and distinctive brand system.
The Challenge
groa° was already operating at the cutting edge of AI-driven commerce intelligence. The challenge was not capability, but clarity and expression.
They needed a brand that:
Reflected their authority and originality in AI
Communicated complex intelligence with simplicity
Differentiated them from performance-marketing and analytics platforms
Scaled across product, publishing, marketing, and thought leadership
Our Approach
We worked closely with the groa° leadership team to refine both positioning and expression, ensuring the brand matched the ambition and credibility of the business.
Our work focused on four core areas:
1. Visual Identity Refinement
We refined the existing brand mark to improve balance, clarity, and digital performance, preserving its equity while making it more ownable and technically robust. A new, restrained colour palette was introduced - deep blues, controlled neutrals, and a confident signal colour - designed to convey trust, depth, and intelligence.
2. AI-Generated Imagery: Light as Intelligence
To avoid generic AI aesthetics, we developed a proprietary visual language built around light.
Light became a metaphor for:
Intelligence emerging from complexity
Signal cutting through noise
Compounding insight over time
Using AI-generated imagery, we created a distinctive, ownable visual system that feels human, precise, and quietly powerful - used consistently across web, advertising, publishing, and social.
3. Data Visualisation & Information Design
Given groa°’s data-driven foundation, we designed a clear and confident approach to infographics and charts.
Principles included:
Reduction of visual clutter
Clear hierarchy and rhythm
Consistent geometry and motion logic
This ensured complex insights feel approachable, credible, and strategic, not technical or overwhelming.
4. Activation: Digital, Social & Publishing
The identity system was rolled out across:
Website and product experience
Advertising and large-format brand executions
LinkedIn and social content
The design and launch of the book Retention-First Growth®: The Future of Profitability in Ecommerce
Each touchpoint reinforces groa° as a serious, original voice in the AI space, confident enough to be quiet, clear enough to be trusted.
Outcome
The result is a brand that now fully reflects what groa° is:
A revolutionary AI company with a clear point of view
A trusted authority on retention, intelligence, and long-term growth
A scalable, coherent brand system ready for global growth and thought leadership
This work positions groa° not just as an AI platform—but as a new standard for how intelligent growth is understood and delivered.
