SWISS AIR FORCE BRAND DNA

THE SWISS AIR FORCE BRAND FOCUSES ON THE EVERYDAY CHALLENGES IN LIFE SET IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT. THE FEELINGS OF LIFE ON THE GO AND HAVING THE PERFECT PRODUCT TO HELP YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR BUSY DAY IS THE CORE OF THE SWISS AIR FORCE BRAND.

The Swiss Air Force brand is anchored in the upper mid range of the consumer market, the same as Swiss Army, but due to its name, it has a much more specific (narrow) profile. Products should represent the same high standard craftsmanship with innovative design functionality as Swiss Army but have a more fashionable spin to them. The consumer should feel they have the right product for their journey in everyday life and that product looks stylish.

In order to attract the modern, fast paced, and conscientious consumer, the brand positioning should be focus on products that are not only functional, but look good. Trendy but classy, voguish product design and a wider range of colors will ensure the brand appeals to the busy, multi-tasking, and health conscious market.

Our target distribution networks for the Swiss Air Force brand is premium shopping malls with exclusive shop in shop solutions. Product design, branding and marketing should align with the consumer profiles for retail stores like L.L. Bean, Rei, Jelmoli, and Sport Ochsner Pro.

HISTORY OF THE SWISS ARMY

The origins of the Swiss Army date back to the late Middle Ages. The militia army founded on general national conscription is relatively young by comparison.

Switzerland's defense systems were once the responsibility of individual towns and cantons. A properly organized army first came into existence during the Helvetic era (1798-1803). The development of a confederate army was one of the main items on Switzerland's political agenda during the decades after 1798. In 1815, Europe's major powers recognized the neutrality and independence of the Swiss Confederation. Consequentially, national defense – assuring domestic law and order and defending the territory of the Swiss Confederation – advanced to become a definitive strategic objective of the army.

During the second half of the 20th century, and especially after 1980, the future and alignment of the Swiss Army increasingly became an issue of political dispute. Whether proponent or opponent of the army, whether academic or "simple" recruit: every interested party can find documents on the history of "their" military in the Swiss Federal Archives.
