Having been around for more than half a century, the company has rebranded itself to showcase its bold aspirations for the future. From ‘experience certainty’ — coined in 2005 — the IT services behemoth’s tagline now reads, ‘building on belief’. It took 10 months, talking to 100 clients, and coordinating with 460,000 employees to bring the brand’s new image to life. Even until the last minute, TCS was course-correcting to make sure they got the messaging ‘just right’, according to Rajashree R, the company’s chief marketing officer (CMO. “We went through a lot of iterations, a lot of feedback — sometimes we were tweaking, sometimes we were making large level changes. I remember even last night they were correcting stuff,” she told Business Insider during a Twitter Live. <div type="twitter" handle="BiIndia" handlename="Business Insider India🇮🇳" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1232926719016718336/sfffJHNV_normal.jpg" favoritecount="36" retweetcount="8" status="#HangoutwithBI: @iyer_sriram in conversation with @TCS' Rajashree R on how India's largest software exporter TCS is… https://t.co/GJG2J8rQ3q" createdat="1617100284000" id="1376844503286382599"></div> A millennial makeover with employees at the centre TCS is one of the largest private sector employers in India. They already have more than 460,000 employees across the globe with many more waiting in line to join TCS’ growth story. “Our employees are our biggest brand ambassadors,” said Rajashree. She explained that they are the people who communicate directly with customers, which is why it’s very important that they understand the brand better than any promo, ad campaign or social post can put across. Even when discussing TCS’ new look, the company made it clear that it wanted to get millennials to come and share their opinion considering that the organisation’s average age is between 26 to 27 years old. “This was not like a boardroom activity. We had youngsters who came and shared their views about TCS and what they felt about the organisation and what they wanted to talk about,” Rajashree told Business Insider. And the main aim behind that was to make sure that it was an all-inclusive process. It’s not a rebranding — it’s an evolution Despite the timing of it all, the decision to rebrand TCS was not something that was triggered by the pandemic but already in the works before COVID-19 reached the borders of India. “Even before the pandemic struck, we wanted to refresh our positioning because we felt we wanted to have a branding messaging platform that is a reflection of who we are as an organisation today, which is very different from what we were a decade ago,” said Rajashree. TCS wants to be clear about the fact that it’s not moving away from its promise of offering clients certainty but that it’s evolving to showcase how the brand goes hand-in-hand with its clients to work towards a shared purpose. Simply put, TCS is still offering what it always did — just a little more now, because it can. Moreover, technology is at the centre of it. Across the industry, the pandemic has been a lesson in how company transformations going forward are going to be centred on technology. For a company like TCS, it’s an opportunity to shine. “We're not becoming somebody else. We're just finding the right messaging statement to position TCS much more strongly,” said Rajashree, clarifying the thought process behind the company’s new tagline is growth. The aim is to “provide wings” to TCS’ many business teams and help them position the brand better. TCS has its fingers in almost every pie, from aviation to financial services to retail. This means that there are many stories to be told. “Even as a CMO, there are stories that I have not heard, there are stories that I don’t know,” Rajashree remarked candidly. The rebranding of TCS, in part, is about having a platform to tell stories that have not been told yet. And the audience isn’t just TCS’ clients but also their employees, shareholders and partners, according to Rajashree.

The tagline for TCS is no longer ‘Experience Certainty’ but ‘Building on Belief’. The decision to rebrand TCS began nearly a year ago. The company ran a survey across more than a 100 of its clients and 200 employees to restructure its public image. “We felt early on in the year, we wanted to develop a new brand statement… which is reflective of who we are as an organisation today,” said Rajashree R, company’s chief marketing officer (CMO). The company did not share the amount of investment that went into the rebranding exercise but explained that the new brand statement will be activated over the next few weeks. According to Rajashree, the new tagline is geared towards speaking to millennials — not just about where TCS is currently, but where the company is aspiring to go within the next decade. She explained that it is focused on bringing the voice of the ‘young TCS’ to the forefront. However, the decision comes at a time when clients are looking for certainty amid the volatility of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are not vacating the experience certainty proposition, this is an evolution and we’re building on it. Certainty is still a very core proposition by the company,” explained Rajashree. Belief, building and branding ‘Building on belief’ is centred around the proposal that Indian IT service behemoth is a “community of builders,” said Rajashree. And, its proposal to build on ‘belief’ hinges on four pillars — world belief, customer belief, the company’s own belief and individual belief. “There are some core beliefs with which we all operate,” said Rajashree. The brand has attached four promises to its new image — it is for good, bring everything, know how and mastering the journey. It envisions equality in boardrooms, the eradication of the pandemic from the planet, and bringing about sustainability. “A place where we can breathe,” said the TCS promo. New ad is likely to come out after a few weeks.
