Branding

Branding is Comprehensive Strategic Business Process

Simply stated: Branding is all about aligning what you do with what you say.

Branding is More Than a Logo

According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, People today grant their trust in brands based on two distinct attributes: competence (delivering on promises) and ethical behavior (doing the right thing and working to improve society).

Branding a business process that is planned, strategically focused and integrated throughout your organization to deliver on your brand promise. While the visual expression of your brand (such as your logo and tagline) is an important part of the process, it shouldn’t begin there.

It starts with comprehensive research amongst all your brand constituents (internal and external) to understand current perceptions, misconceptions, sentiments, and motivational purchase drivers. The insights gleaned from this research leads us into the authentic definition or clarification of your mission, vision, values, and guiding operating principles – which are reflected in your unique positioning, messaging, product/service offerings, operations and go-to-market strategies.

We then create, validate and incorporate your visual identity across all brand touchpoints.

Making Human Connections

It’s no longer B2B or B2C or even B2B2C. It’s H2H – Human-to-Human. People want to feel a genuine connection to brands they do business with.
