Problem: While the name America Online went a long way toward solving Quantum’s identity crisis, naming was just the beginning. How should AOL be positioned in the marketplace, and in the mind of the consumer?

Solution: Boscobel held a Brand Destination Workshop™ to guide AOL in creating a brand identity that would rise above the din of the marketplace. The original tag line, “So easy to use, no wonder we’re America’s fastest growing Internet service,” is still used today in a modified form befitting AOL’s market dominance: “So easy to use, no wonder we’re number one.”

Part of the Boscobel branding process is a “branding map” of desired attributes for a product or corporate brand. This is the actual map developed for America Online during the Brand Destination Workshop.
