NeuX Technologies

CASE STUDY: NeuX Technologies – Rebranding the Future of Human Recovery


Overview

Client: NeuX Technologies
Industry: HealthTech | Physical Therapy | Performance Recovery
Product: Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation (iNMS) Device
Project Scope: Brand Identity Refresh | Strategic Imagery Development | Mind-Body Positioning
Goal: Reimagine the brand to reflect the transformative power of iNMS to reconnect body and mind following injury, trauma, or performance loss.


The Challenge

NeuX Technologies had developed a breakthrough iNMS device—capable of delivering targeted, interactive neuromuscular stimulation that reprograms the body’s communication pathways after injury, trauma, or neurological disruption.

However, the brand identity and visual presentation did not reflect:

  • The advanced science and innovation behind the product.
  • The emotional and physical impact on patients and performance athletes.
  • The integrated nature of healing—where mind and body reconnect through technology.

NeuX needed a strategic rebrand that could clearly communicate the functional power and emotional promise of their technology.


The Strategy

1. Brand Identity Refresh

  • Redesigned the NeuX logo mark to reflect precision, connectivity, and movement.
  • Introduced subtle elements of neural pathways and circular energy to suggest healing and reactivation.
  • Modernized typeface and color palette to convey a balance of clinical trust and human potential.

2. Strategic Imagery Development

  • Created a new brand imagery library using visual metaphors that demonstrate:
    • The interplay between the central nervous system and muscular activation
    • The regeneration and reconnection of neural signals
    • The power of mind-body harmony
  • Imagery focused on motion, light, and connection—pairing body outlines with data-like neural trails and gradients that suggest flow, stimulation, and recovery.

3. Messaging Framework

  • Established a messaging hierarchy based on key themes:
    • “Reconnect. Reclaim. Rebuild.” as the brand rally cry.
    • Framing iNMS not just as therapy, but as neurological re-education.
    • Positioned NeuX as the bridge between neuroscience and movement restoration.

Practitioner Feedback                                           “More aligned with what the technology does.”

Visual Identity Satisfaction                                  High praise from internal and partner teams


Before & After Snapshot

Old Brand:

  • Clinical, outdated, disconnected from the emotion of recovery
  • No visual connection between neurology and movement

New Brand:

  • Clean, dynamic, human-centric
  • Showcases the iNMS device as a catalyst for recovery and empowerment
  • Visually communicates how science reconnects the human system


Key Takeaways

  • Branding in healthcare must do more than look good—it must express purpose.
  • A strong visual identity can elevate cutting-edge technology into a powerful emotional narrative.
  • Strategic branding helped NeuX reposition itself not just as a device maker, but as a pioneer in neuro-recovery.

Avnet + Arm – Collaboration

CASE STUDY: Avnet + Arm – Empowering Innovation Through the Embedded Software Store


Overview

Partnership: Avnet (Global Technology Distributor) + Arm (Semiconductor IP Leader)
Initiative: Embedded Software Store
Category: IoT | Embedded Systems | Developer Tools
Objective: Enable engineers to access open-source and commercial software packages for embedded development, all in one destination.
Launch Platform: Major Global Electronics Tradeshow (Electronica)


The Opportunity

Across the embedded and IoT ecosystem, developers face a fragmented environment when building connected products. The challenge is not just sourcing the right hardware, but navigating the disconnected world of embedded software—open source, proprietary, libraries, middleware, and toolchains—often from different sources, formats, and vendors.

Avnet and Arm identified this as an opportunity to simplify the developer journey, support faster prototyping, and drive adoption of Arm-based chipsets and boards—by delivering a centralized marketplace of embedded software.


The Strategy

Collaborative Vision

The Embedded Software Store (ESS) was built as a co-branded initiative combining:

  • Arm’s vast ecosystem of software tools and silicon partners
  • Avnet’s global reach into engineering, purchasing, and distribution channels

This strategic alliance positioned both companies as enablers of next-generation design, beyond just hardware or IP.

Brand Development & Positioning

  • Developed a new sub-brand: “Embedded Software Store – Powered by Avnet and Arm”
  • Messaging pillars: Discover. Integrate. Accelerate.
  • Target personas: Embedded engineers, firmware developers, hardware designers, and OEM decision-makers
  • Core value proposition: One-stop access to open-source and commercial embedded software, verified for Arm-based hardware.

Product Experience & Content Strategy

  • UI/UX designed for searchability and ease of use—curated collections by vertical (industrial, medical, consumer IoT)
  • Featured software from ecosystem partners (Keil, FreeRTOS, STMicro, NXP, Renesas)
  • Technical content and how-to guides produced to drive SEO, product usage, and developer engagement

Launch Execution

Global Tradeshow Debut

  • Electronica (Munich) served as the global launch platform
  • Joint booth presence with live ESS demos and keynote sessions
  • Pre-show PR campaign and editorial coverage in EE Times, Embedded.com, and Design News
  • In-booth activation: “Build Your Dev Stack” demo station

Omnichannel Rollout

  • Coordinated email and digital campaigns targeting 200,000+ engineers in Avnet and Arm databases
  • Social amplification through LinkedIn, YouTube, and technical forums
  • Partner ecosystem invited to list their software modules on ESS

Results

Metric                                                                              Outcome

Developer Registrations (90 days).                      25,000+ new users

Software Package Downloads                               120,000+ downloads in first 6 months

Ecosystem Partners                                                    Integrated75+ software and tool vendors onboarded

Website Engagement                                                 Avg. session duration 3.7 minutes

PR Reach                                                                         8.2 million impressions across trade media

Leads for Avnet & Arm silicon products            +18% lift in board-level product interest


Strategic Impact

+ Differentiated Avnet from traditional distribution—positioned as a software + hardware innovation platform
+ Reinforced Arm’s role not just as an IP vendor, but as a developer enablement leader
+ Created a scalable model for other developer ecosystems (automotive, AI, edge computing)

Testimonial

“The Embedded Software Store has become an indispensable tool for our engineering teams. It's the bridge between silicon and solution.”
— Sean Fanning, Global Director of Marketing, Avnet

Key Takeaways

  • Hardware companies must act like platforms. The ESS transformed chips and boards into developer-ready solutions.
  • Partnership-led innovation wins. Avnet and Arm combined distribution power with ecosystem depth to solve a real industry problem.
  • Brand matters, even for B2B. A strong launch, clear story, and sharp visual identity made the Embedded Software Store more than a tool—it became a movement.
