■ Details of Rebranding
1. Background of Rebranding: Why is "Design" Necessary?

Since its founding, Piic has promoted its business with creativity as its core, accompanying many recruitment projects. What we faced on site was the contradiction that even with excellent creative works, organizational issues were not fundamentally resolved because strategies and communication were fragmented.
Simply creating is not enough to meet ideal colleagues. The practical realization that integrally designing "people" who resonate with the vision and "how to communicate" is the shortest route to organizational growth became the driving force for building this new business model, 'Recruit Produce,' this time.
