Brand Voice
- TARGET Those who want to modernize their business while controlling their destiny.
- SINGLE MOST PERSUASIVE IDEA Mitel offers a path to seamless communications, any way you want it.
- REASONS TO BELIEVE As businesses small and large undergo digital transformations, Mitel gives IT decision makers the best path to communicate and collaborate more effectively.

Brand Imagery
- Our photography should communicate the benefit of our products clearly, showing them in practical environments and real-world scenarios.
- Product-only Photography: • Always shot on a white background. • Rich, warm ambient light should be used to mimic natural light. • Keep the main features of our products in focus. Keep positions of phone cords and other minor details in mind for consistency. • Keep shadows light. • Only cut out photos when specifically directed.
- Environmental Photography: • Emphasize product, not environment. • People should be photographed within modern, contemporary environments, but kept out of focus. • Emphasize people interacting with products in a way that supports positioning. • Represent a diverse age demographic 0f 25-45.
- Situational Photography: • Keep shots “in the moment.” • Capture photos that demonstrate connections taking place. • Use rich, warm ambient light to mimic natural light. • People in photos should never make eye contact with the viewer.
- Photography Hang-ups: • No staged interactions and obvious posing. • No type or graphics over products in photos. • Do not place products on solid, multicolored, or cluttered backgrounds. • No stock photography used to represent products.
