    WHY BRAND MATTERS REBRAND OBJECTIVES Key Strategic Objectives Related to Rebrand • Position the image of EC for the next generation of Canadians while embracing the rich heritage of the organization and sport in Canada. • Create a catalyst for growth in partnerships and revenue through positioning EC as a classic Canadian brand with greater relevance to more Canadians. • Develop a brand that remains relevant over time and compounds brand equity over decades. REBRAND OBJECTIVES Key Strategic Objectives Related to Rebrand (Con’t) • Unite the range of disciplines, events and programs through a strategic brand system that takes advantage of intermittent impressions to build a more cohesive and valuable brand. • Increase merchandise sales with a more distinct and sophisticated brand aesthetic. • Unite the organization with a message and look that generates enthusiasm and pride from the inside out. • Increase efficiency on the development of all touchpoints with lasting brand solutions that translate elegantly across all mediums. ORGANIZATION NAME Research & Analysis Overview Overview of findings surrounding Equine Canada Hippique: • Equine refers exclusively to the horse. It is not inclusive of the partnership between the human and the horse, and is not consistent with EC’s core mandate. • Equine not referenced in EC strategic vision and mission statement. The two most important statements defining our organization referene the word ‘equestrian’ only. • No provincial, national or international precedent. • ‘Hippique’ translates to ‘horse racing’ in French, which is not part of EC’s mandate. • Even if related to horses in some way, Hippique is very uncommon in French. The meaning is not clear to the public or even to thos familiar with the horse industry.
