Brand Strategy
A brand strategy is a holistic view that harnesses intelligence from product, service or experience to learn and evolve.
Brand are all unique and complex. Therefore we like to tackle a number of different facets to really get under the skin of the brand’s DNA with the ultimate goal to drive business performance.
Brand Positioning Strategy
An effective brand strategy articulates how a company thinks, feels and does. It aligns both internal and external stakeholders providing a bird’s eye view of the mission, product and service.
We consider the following when building a proposition:
Internal industry review and audit (where you are and where you want to be)
External environment review (market research, social listening etc.)
Customer behaviour
Historic data analysis
Business operations and existing marketing/brand collateral
Brand strategy relates to both existing brands as well as new. It is the combination of these reviews and analysis that helps us create the most credible and compelling brand strategies.
Brand Architecture Strategy
There are two types of ways in which we look at optimising your brand’s portfolios.
Brand portfolio strategy:
Market strategy and the number of brands needed to serve those markets.
Choice of brand to use (e.g. co-brands, sub-brands).
Customer segmentation.
