All work will be informed by this valuable data so the final outcome will be very well suited to your business and growth strategies.

Any concerns or questions you may have when deciding upon a brand strategy firm or consultant should be confirmed during a first meeting, we aim to put clients at ease explaining the process and our services early on. Questions you may have that aren’t unusual may include:

  • Will the new brand strategy drive growth for the business?
  • Will my my new business brand strategy create a competitive advantage over other brands?

Brand strategy services

Our services for brand development go beyond logo creation. Your brand is so much more than just your logo which is why we review as much about your current business – whether a start up or established organisation – ahead of starting work. If you are just looking for a new logo we can support with this and do our upmost to create with insights, but do recommend a wider project. Within the brand strategy consulting work we offer:

  • Market audit: the starting point for marketing strategies, we can use this analysis format to review the marketplace, competitors and customers to identify brand positioning and performance.
  • Insight driven concepts: development of the logo is a focus of the strategy. We create at least three concepts for review, all created after careful review of your audiences and competitor analysis.
