Agoda unveils new brand identity

Asian digital travel platform Agoda, unveiled a refreshed visual identity, revealing a redesigned logo, custom Agoda typeface and new brand characters, “Agojis”.

Agoda’s new logo is a contemporary update featuring brighter shades of colours and refined typography to better reflect the brand’s friendly, surprising and playful personality. As part of the refresh, leveraging its
strong brand equity, Agoda brought its five iconic coloured dots to life with the Agojis.

The new brand characters are distinctly identifiable, relatable and have been developed to easily scale and adapt into any environment and campaign.

“Agoda has grown from a start-up to a global brand today that is not just a booking platform with the best prices, but a travel partner that simplifies travel for everyone,” said Michael Kost, Global Director of Brand,
Agoda.

“Our dots were well-recognized, and we wanted to do more with them to be more memorable in an unexpected, playful way, and distinguish Agoda from other travel platforms.”

Beyond offering the best prices, Agoda aims to create the easiest booking journey possible, reflecting its premise of Less Hassle, More Travel. The revamped brand identity will be rolled out across all touchpoints, including Agoda’s sub-brands and products.

Consumers will see cohesive, consistent visuals and tone of voice portraying Agoda as thoughtful, surprising, unexpected, playful and humble throughout their booking journey.

Following a competitive pitch, Agoda has worked with BMF Australia on brand positioning, visual identity and creative development, as well as partnered with Digitas Singapore for conceptualizing stories in several key markets.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
