Clicks & Cocktails: The Story Behind the bbf: Rebrand
Season 2, Episode 4: a deep dive on the project with Appios Creative Studio & bbf:
If you’ve been anywhere in Cyprus the last few years, you’ve seen it. The distinctive, clean, and ambitious branding of bbf: has become a core part of the urban landscape. It was a monumental rebranding project that went far beyond a simple logo change, it repositioned a major real estate developer for a global future. But how does such a massive undertaking come to life?
For this special episode of Clicks & Cocktails, we host both sides of the story: Stelios Colios, Head of Marketing Communications at bbf:, and Andreas Odysseos, Creative Director at Appios Creative Studio, the agency tasked with the project.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from both the client and the creative lead about the mechanics of a truly transformative partnership.
The conversation immediately zeroes in on the most critical element: the deep synergy required between agency and client. Stelios and Andreas discuss how this project's success was built on a foundation of mutual trust and a shared vision. For Appios, it wasn't just about fulfilling a brief; it was about immersing themselves in the core needs, values, and culture of bbf:. They had to understand the company's DNA to express it visually.
This leads to the second key insight: the challenge and responsibility of a Cypriot agency taking on a project with immense international scope.
To rebrand a global player from a local stage, you have to match world-class execution with an intimate understanding of the company's heart.
Andreas shares what it takes for a creative studio based in Cyprus to deliver on such a demanding project, the strategic depth, the creative rigor, and the collaborative spirit needed to not just create a new brand image, but to build a better future for the company, just as the bbf: name suggests. For his part, Stelios provides the client’s perspective on why trusting a local agency with their global vision was the right move.
