Headline: Bettear emphasizes the emotional benefits of its assistive listening tech with a human-focused rebrand by Side Street

Brief summary: Images of real-life people lost in sound and music, messaging the speaks directly to people’s heart, and a graphic framework that celebrates effortless enjoyment, in line with Bettear’s mission to make life easier for those with hearing difficulties

Bettear is an assistive listening startup that helps people with hearing difficulties immerse themselves in the live experience – whether that’s social events, concerts, university lectures, museum tours, or any other environment that involves a collective experience of sound. The technology is potentially life-changing for people with hearing difficulties, who can feel excluded from live events and social settings, or left with an inferior experience.

Side Street’s strategy was to shift the focus of the company’s impact towards empowering people with hearing difficulties to live their lives to the fullest. We emphasized the people using the platform to enjoy art, music, entertainment and education without having to worry about interruptions or feeling left out. Adopting this human-first approach tells a more emotive story about Bettear, and makes a business case for its huge potential around the world.

We orchestrated photoshoots with the Bettear community, putting imagery of people with hearing aids and cochlear implants enjoying themselves at the heart of the company’s branding and messaging. The idea of effortless enjoyment is incorporated in new design elements inspired by the flow of sound waves.

“It has been a remarkable collaboration between Side Street and Bettear throughout the rebranding process,” says Itamar Gabbay, CEO and Co-Founder of Bettear. “Side Street’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail have delivered exceptional results. Their openness to our input and guidance in shaping our brand strategy have made this partnership truly special. With their expertise, we effectively emphasized the emotional benefits of our solution, strengthening our worldwide community connection”

“Bettear’s technology is amazing, but what’s more amazing is the people using it to immerse themselves in the kinds of music and social events that they might otherwise feel excluded from,” says Side Street founder Maor Ofek. “This is the story that needed to be told. Our ambition was to show the way Bettear changes the lives of people with hearing difficulties, and in doing so demonstrate the huge potential of the company as a whole.”
