CONTENTS | BD MAX BRAND GUIDELINES | 4

The mission of the BD MAX campaign is to directly address the target audience of the “happy customer,” or the laboratory decision maker who uses the BD MAX System and testing solutions to not only improve lab performance but also to positively impact patient care .

From its ability to promote greater workfl ow effi ciency in the lab to its fi nancial appeal in reducing cost of ownership to its end result of augmenting patient management, BD MAX helps various stakeholders in the hospital environment to achieve MAX Impact .

Applying the following brand guidelines consistently can help to foster recognition of and trust in the BD MAX brand across all marketing channels to our audiences . The elements required to express our brand identity consistently are detailed in the following Visual and Editorial Guidelines .

SUPPORTING IMAGES | BD MAX BRAND GUIDELINES | 7

SUPPORTING IMAGES

Imagery drives the mood behind our print and digital collateral . Monotone images of healthy people in natural poses carry the progressive, optimistic, and emotional tone of this campaign through various executions . We explore interesting close-ups and crops to enhance the photographs to the fullest extent possible .

The images are often used in conjunction with the BD MAX color palette, particularly the spectrum of blue and orange hues, to reinforce brand recognition . (See “Color Palette,” p . 11 .) The choice of a core color and its tints should be derived from the image and integrated into the angles and throughout the collateral . See the examples to the right .

BD MAX IMAGES | BD MAX BRAND GUIDELINES |

BD MAXLETTER IMAGES

We use images to provide context for the BD MAX brand . The duotone MAX letters are a unique, versatile visual element that helps diff erentiate our brand . The letters can feature images of laboratory decision makers or patients, depending on which word follows “MAX” (e .g ., “Impact,” “Confi dence,” etc .) .

Images of lab decision makers—portraits of the “happy customer” persona—will always appear within the capital letter “M” of “MAX,” ideally looking into the camera . The letters “A” and “X” will feature patients; the preferred execution is that they look away from the camera . Inclusion of these photos within the letters spelling “MAX” speaks to the emotional benefi t derived from achieving maximum impact on patient management .

For printed collateral, “MAX” and its integral imagery lend themselves well to the die-cut format for door drops, direct mail pieces, and other healthcare conference–related marketing materials . (See “Conference Materials” pp . 27-28 .)

BD MAX LOCKUP

The visual elements of the BD MAX logo, the tagline “MAXimize Success,” and the product photo are grouped together and colloquially referred to as “the lockup .” Deploying the lockup eff ectively is essential to building our brand . It ideally should be placed in the bottom-right corner of a piece to serve as a signature that provides closure to the brand messaging . If the bottom-right corner is not feasible, then select the most appropriate section of real estate on the collateral that ensures visual prominence .

Use the primary full-color logo whenever possible to ensure brand consistency .

In addition to the BD MAX logo, the BD logo—comprised of the aspirational symbol and the logotype—should always be prominently included on each BD MAX piece of advertising .

Ensure that the BD logo is isolated from all other words, images, and designs and the outside edges of printed collateral . When white space does not allow for optically obvious isolation, use the height of the “B” in “BD” as the unit from which to measure minimum clear space around the respective logo . The height of the “B” is designated as variable (“X”) . The amount of white space on all 4 sides of the logo should at least be X distance away from the logo, as shown on the right .

Use common sizes for each logo and set a minimum standard size that ensures protection for both logos . Scale the BD MAX and BD logo elements together as units to ensure that the approved proportions and relationship between these elements will always be maintained .

COLOR PALETTE

BD Color Palette

Visual branding reinforcement for BD MAX is made possible through the vibrant, crisp hues and emotional overtones of the BD color palette . The palette has been extended with Yellow and Cyan to lend a more contemporary feel and add depth and dimension . Ranging from the cool, clinical, and authoritative tone of the Primary Blue to the boldness of Pink, the BD MAX color palette intimates a sense of innovation in healthcare .

For each BD MAX execution, whether in print or digital format, the overall tone, image anchors, and presentation of copy will be driven by selected colors from this palette .

GOALOPTIMIZING WORKFLOW TO IMPROVE CARE

CHALLENGEPatient wait time is a source of concern. Manual methods plus multiple instruments mean a longer time for results. These delayslead to a decrease in available beds.

TESTING FLEXIBILITY • Runs 1–24 samples and di� erent assays at the same time2,5

• Tests a wide range of sample types6

STAFF PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH AUTOMATION• O� ers simple implementation and standardized workfl ow6

OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE TOTAL COST• By enabling increased testing volume through streamlined workfl ow2,5,7

“[The BD MAX TM System] makes a big difference ... in how we manage our patients and beds within the hospital.”Consultant Microbiologist and Clinical Director for Pathology Hampshire Hospitals

COPY TONE

Our tone is bold—direct and insightful—and suff used with an emotive sensibility . The copy asserts the benefi ts of the BD MAX System and testing solutions and ladders those benefi ts up to the emotional level of what they mean to providers and patients .

KEY MESSAGES

The BD MAX System helps laboratory decision makers achieve maximum impact by expanding their labs’ molecular testing potential, resulting in better patient management .

The “MAX Impact” messaging platform is articulated across 3 main buckets:

1 . MAX Effi ciency, which centers on laboratory staff productivity through automation

2 . MAX Performance, which centers on increasing accuracy and reducing cost of ownership

3 . MAX Versatility, which focuses ona variety of testing options

Barcode This is 1 compound word, not 2 words .

Block Capital Letters In reference to the product name, “BD” and “MAX” always appear in all capital letters .

Bulleted Lists All items in a bulleted list must be parallel in grammatical structure . Always capitalize the first letter of the first word of bulleted text .

Company Address For printed collateral, below the BD Logo on the bottom left corner of the piece, the company name and address, telephone number, and URL should appear in line, or stacked, as follows, depending on formatting needs .
