Branding Services
Your brand is the foundation upon which you build your marketing. If it is bedrock, your plan will support a towering edifice. If drifting sand, your opportunities will be far more limited.
Brand Relationship Management
Branding has two components: image and experience. Although image is the concept
most often associated with the idea of "branding," the experiential component
is equally important. They must be congruent.
Our holistic approach to brand relationship management helps clients make sense
of the linkages between their brand's image, consumer perceptions, and operational
realities. This insight provides a basis for enhancements to the brand image
and marketing message. It also furnishes the groundwork for educated decision-making
that will ensure products and service delivery systems are consistent with customer
expectations.
This evaluation can be implemented at any stage of the brand's lifecycle and
for any number of reasons: to ensure a successful launch, to provide a sound
footing for repositioning an existing brand, to explore opportunities for increasing
brand awareness, or to enhance the congruence of image and experience.
Brand Identity Development
The brand identity system is the functional center of the brand image. All marketing communication radiates from this core. We can provide the following deliverables individually or as part of a complete package:
- Brandmark & logotype design
- Refinement of an existing brandmark
- Themeline/tagline creation
- Brand stylebook and usage manuals
- Talking points
Development of an effective identity system is more than an artistic exercise . . . more than clever sloganeering. We begin all projects with an evaluation of the brand's
characteristics.
Depending on the scope of the assignment and budget constraints,
this can also include interviews with the leadership team, marketing team, staff,
and clients, as well as other research as appropriate.
