Branding involves thinking and strategy, before the creativity can flow. First we must build the brand foundation and brand strategy. We can then generate concepts that have strategy, clarity, and functionality.
Before the name and creative process, we work to mold the foundation of a brand by developing a:
VISION | The long-term aspirations of the company. It’s what we want the company
to achieve through business success. It explains why we’re doing what
we’re doing and the ultimate good we want to achieve. The picture of
where we ultimately want our work to lead to.
MISSION | The broad purpose of the company and the affect it will have on others.
It states what we do for others and the approach we follow in order to
achieve the aspirations we’ve set. The sense that a company’s
contribution is uniquely meaningful to human society is the most
durable driver of management, employee, customer and even investor
loyalty. It is as close as you can get to a corporate soul.
BRAND PROMISE | Summarizes the positive difference we deliver to all who deal with us.
Internally, the business promise will guide the development of the
brand, and externally, the business promise is translated into and
presented as a motto
or tagline.
We will take a look at similar brands and see where we can emphasize your brand, its strengths and how we can set you apart. As the market is saturated with many ‘similar’ offerings, it is especially important that differentiation takes a front seat during the branding process. Creating trust and credibility are essential in the branding process, because, brands essentially are reputations that result from promises made. Because your brand will be competing in environments full of established, well-known and(some) superbly branded companies and products, it is extremely important that we differentiate and develop very strong brands.
The tangible expression that reflects and represents both the mission and vision, so it must align perfectly with the value and purpose of the company.
