Growing and developing a forestry brand
Brand Strategy, Visual Identity, Branded Communications
As the preferred partner since 2013, we have valued our close relationship with Metsä Group. A partnership setting out a brand strategy and refining the identity development across their different business lines – Forest, Wood, Fibre, Board and Tissue – into a more considered, coherent brand.




The use of the moosehead as the trademark of Metsä Group dates back to the 1980s. The current identity logos and core elements were created in 2012 prior to our partnership. Our work since then has been to constantly develop and expand the identity system and brand behaviour.














“Working with the h&p design team has helped us build one solid Metsä brand from several divided company brands. Together we have developed tools to manage this unified brand across the whole company.”
– Katariina Saelan, Marketing Communications Manager, Metsä Group
