Not Secondary launches renewed website and brand experience

Not Secondary, a consultancy firm specialising in secondary benefits, today unveils a completely redesigned website and brand identity. With this step, the firm makes its positioning, story and growth ambitions more visible and consistent, in line with the next phase of the business.

The rebrand follows a period of strong development. Not Secondary has grown in recent years in terms of projects, partnerships and impact within organisations. At the same time, the company evolved from purely consultancy to a combination of consultancy and technology, with the introduction of its own software solutionTotal Benefits in early 2026. That development called for a brand that supports both pillars and conveys the same promise.

The new website puts the Not Secondary story front and centre. Alongside a clear positioning and sharpened service offering, the site makes room for client stories, knowledge and inspiration around secondary benefits, as well as a clear introduction to Total Benefits.

The brand identity has also been completely refreshed. The logo, colour palette and typography have been refined to better reflect what Not Secondary stands for: clear choices, substantive sharpness and an accessible, people-first approach. The previous, more activist aesthetic has made way for a style that better suits Not Secondary's role as an independent specialist and strategic partner.

"Over the past few years, we noticed that we would often dive straight into the content, while the story behind Not Secondary became less visible," says Paul Brink, founder of Not Secondary. "That story is precisely what matters. It shows why we exist, what we stand for, and why secondary benefits are never secondary to us. With this new brand experience, we're telling that story clearly and consistently again."

The name Not Secondary remains the foundation throughout. The firm focuses exclusively on secondary benefits, yet considers everything that has such a significant impact on employees' lives to be primary. That idea is subtly echoed in the refreshed logo, in which a hidden '1' references 'Not Second'.

With the new website and brand identity, Not Secondary aims not only to connect better with clients, but also to attract professionals who want to help build the company. In 2026, the team will continue to expand, including around the development, sales and marketing of Total Benefits.

Total Benefits is the first Employee Benefits Intelligence Platform in the Netherlands. It helps organisations centralise, benchmark, manage and continuously optimise their employee benefits.

Unlike traditional HR software, Total Benefits is not focused on HR administration or payroll processing. Instead, it is designed to collect, enrich and apply knowledge, benchmark insights and practical expertise related to employee benefits.

At the core of the platform is Benefits Intelligence: the collection, enrichment and application of knowledge, benchmark information, market insights and technology related to employee benefits. This enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about their benefits strategy.

Within the platform you can combine, among other things:

  • the Benefits Database, containing more than 200 fully developed employee benefits, organised across 12 benefit themes;
  • benchmark information and practical market insights;
  • governance and compliance support;
  • optimisation workflows;
  • communication and implementation tools;
  • AI-powered support through the Benefits Assistant.

Total Benefits is not a one-time assessment or a standalone software tool. It is an intelligence platform that supports organisations in building, managing and continuously improving their employee benefits strategy.

As organisations continue to use the platform, they gain increasing insight into:

  • how their benefits compare with the market;
  • which benefits are most relevant to their workforce;
  • where optimisation opportunities exist;
  • which trends and developments are shaping the future of employee benefits.

The goal: helping organisations move from fragmented employee benefits towards better-informed decision-making and a future-proof benefits strategy.

The name Total Benefits is inspired by the well-known HR concept of Total Rewards: the complete value an employer offers employees, including compensation, benefits, development opportunities, company culture and the overall employee experience.

Since our platform focuses specifically on everything beyond base salary, we chose the name Total Benefits.

Within the platform, employee benefits are organised into 12 core benefit themes, including wellbeing, mobility, flexibility, sustainable employability and meaningful work. This creates greater structure, consistency and visibility across the entire employee benefits package.

Built on this central knowledge layer, organisations can not only manage their employee benefits, but also benchmark, optimise and make better-informed decisions for the future.

Benefits Intelligence is the process of collecting, enriching and applying knowledge, data and market insights related to employee benefits.

By combining consultancy expertise, benchmark information, practical market insights and technology, Total Benefits enables organisations to make better-informed decisions about their employee benefits strategy.

Benefits Intelligence forms the foundation of every capability within Total Benefits — from the Benefits Database and benchmark insights to governance, AI-powered assistance and future platform innovations.
