  • Project Details

  • Say hello to the brand new .biz .

    The .biz top level domain (TLD) was introduced in 2001 to increase consumer choice and create opportunities for TLD customers that have been shut out under the current naming structure. Almost 20 years later, we're brought a fresh take to the TLD by aligning our brand to everyday business owners who are selling online today.

    RESULTS

    • Increased ad engagement.

    157% increase in new leads.

Rooted in black and white, our palette speaks to the core principles of running a business. We then mix those core principles with energetic, digital-first colors to engage the audience.

voice and tone

The .biz Voice and Tone encompasses the independent spirit of the business owners we champion. It energizes, spurring action while remaining human. We use language that’s as strong and bold as a good cup of black coffee. When we inform, we don’t equivocate — we’re direct, engaging and concise. And, we don’t leave anyone out; we’re the domain for any business.
