Klas made world-class technology but presented like every other telecoms hardware provider — product-led, specification-heavy, and visually indistinct. To achieve their ambition of selling directly into military and defence organisations, government agencies, and allied procurement bodies worldwide, they needed more than a new look. They needed a fundamental repositioning of how the business communicated what it did and why it mattered.
