What we do
Brand Positioning
In crowded markets, consumers need ways to make sense of the options and to choose your brand. Getting close to the consumer, we help our clients understand who their real competitors are and how consumers see each brand. With an understanding of what motivates consumers and our clients brand purpose, our brand research approach helps clients uncover the positioning that increases their chances of being considered and chosen. Understanding a brand’s positioning means understanding what consumers seek from the category, brands, and the role they play in the broader needs of consumers. We then work with clients to define how they can communicate their distinctive positioning through messaging, packaging, brand assets, and communication.
Brand Asset Development
Brand assets are those design elements that identify your brand and give it meaning. These assets are the be the symbols, colours, styles, sounds, and characters that uniquely identify your brand. When used well, brand assets allow consumers to identify your brand in communication and buying situations quickly. Working with clients, we can identify their true brand assets and how clients can leverage these assets to add further meaning to their brands.
Creative Development & Pre-Testing
Getting communication right is critical to brand success. Communication conveys the brand’s positioning and it needs to persuade consumers to change their behaviour . . . buy your brand. From holistic qualitative approaches to using biometrics to understand moment-by-moment engagement, our approaches provide the insights our clients need to shape communication at a strategic level to providing actionable recommendations at the execution level.
Packaging Development
Packaging and design not only provides a major form of communication for many products, but it is also part of the product experience. By understanding how consumers engage with the category, choose between brands, and use products, we help our clients create packaging that stands-out and communicates their brand positioning.
