Mercer & Black

A premium menswear label with no visual language — we built an identity as sharp as their tailoring.

The Challenge

Exceptional tailoring. Generic brand.

Mercer & Black had been crafting premium menswear for eight years — but their brand looked like every other mid-market label. Nothing communicated the precision and craft behind the product.

They were competing on price when they should have been competing on position. The product was premium. The brand wasn't.

Our Approach

Dress the brand the way it dresses its clients.

01 — Brand Audit

We mapped every brand touchpoint — and found a consistent gap between the quality of the product and the quality of how it was presented.

02 — Positioning

We repositioned Mercer & Black as a brand for men who treat clothing as craft — not fashion, not status, but considered investment.

03 — Visual Identity

New identity system — typography, palette, packaging and photography direction — built to command the premium it deserved.
