AUSAGRITECH MEMBER FEATURED NEWS: ANNOUNCING SPADES REBRAND

In February this year Grower Support was a grant recipient of the Ignite Ideas Fund - Round 8 for the commercialisation of their agricultural compliance management software.  
 
In addition to employing staff and exhibiting at tradeshows and field days, the project funds have been used to engage a brand identity and strategy consultant.

Founder Jennifer McKee said, "As a start-up, I built my MVP, website, logo, and name with no knowledge about branding. But I knew the value and importance of storytelling and connecting with growers and producers. I also wanted to ensure the vision I had for my business was built into a brand that would last for the next 10-20 years. It's been a strange process to leave my start-up name behind, but what we've got now is a brand that is built to last and evolves. I would encourage every agritech start-up to consider their brand, after all, it’s more than just a name.”
 
The new brand, Spades, is a play on words, being an agricultural implement but also meaning "to a high degree".

Spades was created to support the agricultural industry's advancement in the digital era; with essential resources to eliminate the burden and time-consuming nature of policy and regulatory compliance, record-keeping, and farm management.
