Helping a cable management brand bring order to chord chaos.

Cords power our lives, yet they’ve quietly created a universal problem: clutter, confusion, and constant frustration. Dotz was founded 15 years ago with a simple mission, to make cord organization effortless. What started as a small line of smart, practical tools grew into a global brand sold in major retailers across 30 countries.

But the path wasn’t linear. Launched during a recession and stretched too thin, Dotz lost momentum as the founder shifted focus elsewhere. Still, the brand endured. Even as wireless technology surged, cords never went away, and in a world filled with connected devices, they’ve only multiplied.

Today, with U.S. households averaging 20+ devices and nearly 50 cords each, Dotz’s relevance has never been clearer. So a choice emerged: let the brand fade or rebuild it with purpose. This rebrand marks a new chapter, reviving a proven, patented, category-defining brand for a world that still depends on cords.

Challenge

Dotz had become a forgotten brand in a category many assumed was disappearing in the age of wireless. Despite millions of cords still cluttering homes, the brand struggled under outdated positioning and a fragmented retail past. The core problem was clear: Dotz was relevant, but no longer visible.

Solution

We refreshed and refocused the brand, grounding it in a renewed purpose and a modern identity that reflects today’s cord-heavy lifestyles. This included a strategic narrative, updated design system, and renewed e-commerce presence. The solution brought clarity to what Dotz is, why it exists, and why it matters now more than ever.

Impact

The rebrand repositioned Dotz as a category-defining leader with patented solutions and a clear market opportunity. It reintroduced the brand to consumers with a timeless, elevated visual system built for digital channels. Most importantly, it revived a 15-year legacy brand and set the stage for renewed growth in an expanding cord-management market.

Fun but Effective Visualization

As part of the rebrand, we elevated the visual language to better reflect what has always defined Dotz: quality, intuitive design, and products that solve real problems while still feeling elevated. The new imagery communicates relevance through form, function, and everyday use, highlighting how each product is engineered with simplicity in mind and built around the natural properties of its materials. Dotz has always believed in innovation through simplicity, clean forms, smart details, and solutions that feel effortless.

The brand originated from a desire to create a high-end perception without pretentiousness, using color not only for identification and universal usability but also to inject a sense of play into a category that is anything but exciting. After all, no one hears “cable management” and thinks fun, Dotz set out to change that.


A Flexible Packaging System

With the rebrand, we also refreshed the Dotz packaging system. The goal was to simplify communication, modernize what already worked, and preserve the categorical color structure that originally defined the brand. When Dotz first launched, cable management had no true home in retail, making placement difficult. The products could sit in almost any department, electronics, organization, hardware, impulse, or seasonal.

To solve this challenge for retailers, the Dotz team developed a clear, color-coded categorization system based on product function. The line was organized into four simple groups: Identify, Bundle, Wrap, and Hold. This structure made it easy for retailers to visualize how the products fit into their stores and gave consumers an immediate way to understand which item solved the specific problem they were facing.

We also streamlined the packaging itself to minimize material use and ensure it performed effectively in a wide range of retail environments.


Retail & Digital Experience

The rebrand extended beyond product and packaging, serving as the foundation for a refreshed digital presence across web, social, and ecommerce channels. This new identity sets the stage for continued growth through updated website development, improved Amazon content, and future advertising initiatives. The Dotz team is energized to breathe new life into the product line, beginning with a renewed focus on ecommerce and social platforms as the first phase of expansion.
