TOPICS
OF COMMUNICATION
DIAGNOSIS AND MONITORING
Diagnosis and Monitoring is a fundamental asset on which to build the strategic positioning and communication plan of a company in this sector. Particular surveys like sea trials and refitting or buying-selling surveys fall under the diagnosis category. On the other hand, performance analysis and trend previsions fall under the monitoring category
EXPERTISE
It’s the topic of trust, since it communicates the experience of the team and its acquired competencies. In the nautical sector it is strategically important to build a relationship based on trust between surveyor and ship owner, and it reflects on economics aspects. To accurately convey the team’s expertise means to strengthen core values like responsibility and trust.
TECHNOLOGY
In order to carry out all diagnosis and monitoring operations and to maximise the competencies, it is necessary to count on the support of specific technology and engineering methods. Technology here indicates all the tools the team can use to collect and analyze data.
THE LOGO
SailADV builds its reputation on the precision of measurements and accuracy of data interpretations. It works exclusively in the nautical sector, and carries out tests and trials especially on yachts of all lengths. These assumptions inspired the creation of a smooth line module recalling a knot, the movement of the waves and a frequency graph at the same time. The subsequent repetition of such module generates the grid on which the typography of the new logo is built. Two distinctive colors are used to separate the elements Sail and ADV.
