Background

HONK is a leading AI-powered digital roadside assistance platform built for enterprise clients across insurance, automotive, fleet, and logistics. After a decade operating with a single major client and limited brand presence, HONK needed a strategic repositioning to unlock growth in Tier 1 insurance and OEM markets. Despite market-leading NPS (83+) and best-in-class wait times, HONK struggled to differentiate from legacy vendors in a category historically dominated by outdated models and consumer-app perceptions.

The Challenge

The HONK team had the platform, performance, and vision but lacked a cohesive brand architecture, modern digital presence, and compelling narrative for enterprise buyers. The perception of HONK as a consumer-oriented towing app was misaligned with its true identity: an enterprise-grade SaaS platform delivering logistics intelligence at scale.

The Approach

Gigantic Media led a strategic repositioning to reflect HONK’s evolution from service provider to connected mobility platform. The collaboration included:

Deliverables included:

  • Brand Strategy & Narrative: Refined HONK’s story to highlight its AI dispatch engine, transparency, white-label capabilities, and unparalleled NPS, reframing roadside as a premium, on-brand experience for enterprise partners.
  • Website Redesign: A complete overhaul of HONK’s digital presence, aligning content and UX to buyer needs. The new site positions HONK as a modular platform offering bundled solutions like Collision Response Suite, EV Recovery Suite, and Disaster Response Suite.
  • Product Interface Refresh: Updated design system and UI for HONK’s operations platform to showcase enterprise-grade flexibility, customization, and API-driven architecture.
  • Pitch & RFP Modernization: Delivered a comprehensive suite of sales enablement assets including investor-style pitch decks, dynamic RFP templates, and value-driven visuals tailored to insurers and OEMs.
  • Event Support: Designed branded experiences and collateral for HONK’s executive presence at SEMA and insurance innovation events.
  • Targeted Digital Campaigns: Deployed strategic LinkedIn and social creative emphasizing HONK’s transformation from "a towing app" to "your roadside technology partner" across enterprise audiences.

The Impact

Gigantic’s repositioning initiative gave HONK a credible, enterprise-ready brand identity, unlocking sales velocity and executive engagement at key insurance accounts like Farmers, NJM, Auto-Owners, and Lemonade.

KEY OUTCOMES

  • Perception Shift: Successfully transitioned from a consumer-facing brand to an enterprise SaaS platform in the eyes of insurance and automotive executives.
  • Sales Enablement: Equipped HONK’s GTM team with high-impact assets that accelerated early-stage conversations and improved RFP win rates.
  • Marketing Engine Launched: Established foundational systems including website, CRM integrations, and brand messaging for scalable demand generation in mid-market insurance and commercial fleet segments.
  • Platform Awareness: Highlighted HONK’s unique approach to job dispatch, cost efficiency, and real-time case management, differentiators now central to the company’s growth narrative.

Gigantic Media helped HONK go from underdog to industry innovator, reframing a legacy category and empowering a high-growth SaaS brand to scale its next chapter.
