ETU Victoria Already Had the Trust
ETU Victoria was already one of the most recognisable unions in the country.
It had decades of history, deep member loyalty, strong cultural identity, and real influence across the electrical trades and wider workforce.
The organisation did not need to invent credibility.
It already had it.
The challenge was making that credibility feel clear and current across modern digital channels.
The Brand Needed to Catch Up With the Organisation
ETU Victoria’s public-facing brand did not fully reflect the scale, strength, or relevance of the union.
The organisation had a powerful internal culture, but the digital experience, visual language, and content systems needed to better support how members and the public engaged with it.
The challenge was not reinvention.
The challenge was modernisation without dilution.
ETU Victoria needed to evolve without losing the backbone that made it trusted in the first place.
The Problem Was Not Generic Marketing
ETU Victoria did not need a standard marketing refresh.
It needed a brand and digital transformation that respected the organisation’s history while improving how it showed up publicly.
The real issue was alignment.
The union’s visual identity, website, content, social presence, and merchandise experience all needed to work together.
The public presence had to feel stronger, clearer, more useful, and more reflective of the modern workforce ETU Victoria represents.
We Strengthened the Public Presence
We partnered with ETU Victoria to reshape how the union appeared visually, digitally, and culturally.
The goal was to make the brand feel more contemporary without making it feel soft, generic, or disconnected from its roots.
That meant improving the design system, rebuilding the digital experience, strengthening content communication, and creating new ways for members to engage with the brand.
How We Modernised the Brand
We executed a full redesign and digital rollout that touchedevery part of the union's public-facing presence.
Stronger Visual Identity
We redesigned the union’s visual outlook across digital platforms.
The aim was to create a style that felt modern, consistent, and professional while still feeling unmistakably ETU.
The brand needed to convey strength, clarity, and credibility.
It could not feel overly polished in a way that disconnected it from the members it represented.
Clearer Digital Infrastructure
We designed and launched a new website focused on clarity, accessibility, and member utility.
The site needed to make information easier to find, improve the experience for members, and give the organisation a stronger digital foundation.
For a large member organisation, the website is not just a brochure.
It is a practical service tool.
Online Merchandise Store
We built and launched a new online merchandise store.
This created a new revenue stream and gave members a clearer way to connect with the ETU brand.
The store generated more than $400,000 in merchandise revenue in its first year.
Member-Focused Content
We shifted communications away from static messaging and toward story-driven, member-focused content.
The goal was to better reflect the people, culture, issues, and energy of the union.
Social platforms were treated as a space for participation, not just broadcast.
Consistent Communication Systems
We built systems for frequent, clear, and consistent communication.
This helped the union show up with more rhythm and reliability across digital channels.
Members could see more of what was happening, why it mattered, and how the union was acting on their behalf.
A Modern Brand That Still Felt Like ETU
The result was a revitalised public presence that better reflected ETU Victoria’s scale, relevance, and leadership.
The union looked more current.
The website became more useful.
The content felt more connected to members.
The merchandise store created a new commercial channel.
Most importantly, the brand still felt like ETU Victoria.
It modernised without losing its identity.
Why the Strategy Worked
The strategy worked because it respected what already made ETU Victoria strong.
The union did not need to become something else.
It needed to express its strength more clearly across modern platforms.
By aligning visual identity, website experience, content systems, social communication, and merchandise, ETU Victoria created a stronger public presence without weakening the trust it had already built.
The Simple Difference
Before the work, ETU Victoria had history, authority, and member trust, but its public-facing presence needed to better reflect that strength.
After the work, the union had a clearer visual identity, stronger digital infrastructure, more consistent communication, and a member-focused brand experience that felt modern without losing its backbone.
In One Line
We helped ETU Victoria modernise its public presence through stronger brand identity, digital infrastructure, content systems, and member engagement without losing the trust and character that made the union powerful.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Real results from real businesses
“When we set out to grow Discmania in the US market, Ryan was a key part of laying that foundation. He helped us cut through the noise & restructured how we told the story of each release, aligning our athlete partnerships with the brand, and building the kind of community touchpoints that turned buyers into fans. The results spoke for themselves. I’d work with him again without hesitation.”
“In 2019, Ryan from Wandering Lion helped transform the Kalamunda Eastern Suns’ presence in the community. He lifted our social profile, drove some of the strongest brand engagement in the league, and helped turn sparse crowds into sellouts. His work also strengthened sponsor interest and raised the overall profile of the club in a way that felt polished, professional, and genuine.”
“Young people who had switched off from school were not going to reconnect because of a campaign headline or a polished message. They needed a genuine reason to turn up again. Wandering Lion brought a strong sense of care to how the story was told. That gave the foundation a clearer public identity.”
“Working with Wandering Lion on the Discmania project was a standout experience. The team’s position work, blended creative vision with strategic execution, was a major asset as we built the Discmania brand globally. The work he produced didn’t just look great. It elevated our brand presence and supported measurable growth across multiple markets.”
“Wandering Lion understood from the outset that the Pacific Hockey League could not simply be another competition with a new name. Their work helped shape a player-first league with the right balance of ambition, fairness, and professionalism. What they brought was not just branding or communication, but real strategic thinking that gave the PHL a stronger and more credible foundation.”
“Authenticity is the centrepiece of all Lajosi Putter customisation works. The brand is reflected in each of our hand-made custom putters. Ryan’s team solidified that identity in our online presence. It led to higher social media engagement from a golfing community who value hand-crafted putters over overly polished ones.”
