Repositioning a Specialist Into a Global Strategy Firm

Modern Zen works with organizations that have outgrown their external narrative, aligning identity, language, and market presence with the true scale of their capabilities.

The Challenge

Operating as The Grant Farm, the firm had built deep credibility delivering complex funding strategies, public-sector programs, and large-scale infrastructure initiatives. However, the brand framed the organization as a transactional grant-writing service rather than what it had become: a globally relevant strategy firm operating at the intersection of capital, policy, and execution. The challenge was nuanced. The existing brand carried significant equity and trust, and any repositioning needed to elevate perception without disrupting continuity or eroding hard-earned credibility.

Our Approach

Modern Zen partnered closely with Momentum's executive team to lead a comprehensive brand redefinition from first principles through public launch. The engagement began with language and positioning, reframing the firm's narrative from transactional services to strategic capability. From there, a complete rebrand was designed and executed, including a new name, identity system, logo, and visual language aligned with the firm's true scope and ambition. Execution followed strategy. A full website redesign and domain migration were delivered alongside launch videos, supporting content, and a coordinated messaging campaign to ensure continuity of brand equity from The Grant Farm to Momentum. Every internal and external asset was upgraded to reinforce clarity, confidence, and scale.

The Results

Following launch, Momentum experienced rapid growth, more than tripling headcount and expanding into larger, more complex engagements across major public-sector and infrastructure initiatives. The rebrand supported participation in landmark projects, including the largest electric vehicle deployment in a port ecosystem anywhere in the world. The transformation succeeded because it was grounded in truth. The new brand did not invent capability—it revealed it—aligning market perception with the scale of work the firm was already executing.

"This rebrand didn't just change how the market saw us—it changed how we showed up. It gave us the confidence and clarity to operate at the level we had been building toward."
