Brief

Aarav Unmanned Systems came to us ready for a new chapter: a modern name and brand that could reflect its ambition in industrial drones. The team wanted a clearer position in a deeply technical market, connecting its engineering with the value it could bring to mining and other industries managing large physical assets.

We helped create Aereo, developing the name, naming narrative and brand system around that ambition. We carried the visual language into website UI/UX, motion and go-to-market assets, working alongside the existing marketing team to give the business a consistent way to introduce itself and its technology.

Aereo went on to raise US$15 million in Series B funding in July 2024. Its work with Coal India and Tata Steel has taken it into major mining operations, using drones and data to support how industrial assets are managed.
