EVERY BRAND HAS A STORY TO TELL

What we mean when we say "brand"

A brand is more than your company name and logo. Don’t get us wrong, those are essential elements, but a brand goes beyond the visuals to tell a story. It should move people and inspire them. A brand becomes part of a consumer’s identity and an expression of their wants and needs. So … no pressure, but what does your brand stand for?

HOW WE BUILD A BRAND STORY

 

Creating a brand is an art and a science. Your brand is the intersection of your messaging, visual direction and positioning strategy. It's all about cementing your place in the marketing landscape. And it takes creativity backed by research to get there.

Discovery

First, we need to get to know your business. We’ll ask you to complete a discovery document to tell us about your brand and your goals, then we’ll meet for a client kickoff to work through each other’s lingering questions. In that conversation, we’ll ask for current and past customer contacts to interview for more perspective on your story.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic

typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Research

Next, we need to understand your industry and competitors to get a sense of how you fit in the market landscape. Then, we’ll strategize how we can help your brand stand apart from the competition. This research approach is a mix of qualitative and quantitative insights to help shape our creative process.

Creative development

Once we complete our research, we’ll craft the building blocks of your brand, including audience personas, key messaging, VTL (voice, tone and language) guidelines, core values, a positioning statement and a tagline – everything to tell a succinct and consistent story and build brand advocates. Then, we’ll work on crafting a visual brand to bring your story to life.

Strategy

Now that we have the brand foundation in place, the next step is building a marketing strategy to tell that story to the world. Your go-to-market plan may include a new website, digital advertising, social media, email marketing, content and SEO – all depending on your industry and your needs. We’ll help you figure out where to start for the biggest impact.
