PROCESS
Methodology
We meet with you and selected internal stakeholders to come to an understanding on what your brand is and to learn more about your organization. This session is facilitated to help identify your key target audiences, perceptions of the current brand name and identity, your current market position, customer decision-making factors and more. At the end of this session, we would have collected key internal perceptions that will shape your brand identity and we will create a summary report of our findings for you. After securing your insight, we validate your brand perceptions through market research. We gain input from your customers and compile results into a report for your review. We also evaluate key competitors’ brand positioning to ensure your brand platform is distinctive.
Once internal and external research is complete, we summarize our findings in a creative brief for your approval. When finalized, our creative design and messaging teams go to work. We prepare varying creative directions for you to evaluate – including theming, messaging, logos, colour schemes, imagery, photography, etc. – and deliver these approaches for your review. Whichever path you choose – you are the final decision-maker in choosing the messaging and visual identity that is right for your company.
After you’ve selected your creative direction, we deliver a brand visual identity and messaging guide to facilitate brand roll-out in all your communications materials. We can collaborate with you to prioritize implementation of your brand in your corporate communications, deliver brand-compliant designs for various mediums or take on creation of any or all of your communications materials.
