Michelangelo is said to have claimed that he didn’t actually sculpt his masterpiece, David; he merely chipped away the stone that didn’t look like David, whilst setting him free. That’s what our first phase is all about. Chipping away all of the clutter, to set your brand free. Because it all starts with the brand. It starts with what it’s really made of. The vision. The culture. The promise. The values. Who are you? What are you made of? What do you do? Why should anybody care? If you cannot provide a clear answer to these fundamental questions, then you are leaving money on the table and setting your brand up for trouble.
To make sure this doesn’t happen, we help you find your strategic message, through our Brand Compass workshop:
Deep Brand Analysis - Through exercises & workshops, we explore with you the very essence and core; your vision, your mission, your values, the personality, and other major aspects of your brand. All of the good stuff that everybody’s talking about their significance, but no one tells you how to actually get to them.
Industry Mapping - First, we explore together your industry’s norms and conditions. Then, we research and validate these suppositions.
Competition Positioning Research - We search and record how your competitive brands stand within the market and what they are saying.
Target Audience Profile - We work closely together to formulate maps of your target audience profiles, in the most tangible way possible. So that you clearly know who you serve, and how.
Creative Copywriting - Brand name, tagline, and story, we shape the essence of your brand into words. Words that clearly express what it stands for. Needless to say that your brand’s name is your most important asset, the one thing that you will never change.
Deliverable - All the gold in the world is of no value, if it’s not within your reach. At the end of this process, we put together your Brand Compass, a strategy document featuring the whole brand essence. All the juicy findings are here ― an invaluable lighthouse from now on, for yourself, your team, and your marketing.

What’s your brand’s visual identity?
• Brand Logo
• Brand Identity Suite
• Brand Stationery Set
• Environmental Branding
• Brand Colour Palette
• Brand Typography
• Brand Manual
Acknowledging the greatness of your brand is such a valuable start, but it’s not quite enough; if you don’t show it, they won’t know it. And, since more than 80% of the information our brain receives comes through our eyes, you understand how important your brand’s visuals are. As the matter of fact, they can make you or they can break you. Can you imagine having a logotype so indifferent and generic that it reminds of a dozens other logos from various industries? Sounds horrible, right? Yet, that’s what happens when you don’t get custom design care, along with profound expertise.
Well, this never happens with us.
Brand Identity Design - This is a process that we couldn’t even begin to tell you how much we enjoy. When we have such a clear understanding of your brand’s mission, philosophy, and target market, our creativity sparkles and amazing things happen. Design and marketing, in accord.

And, although people may not actually read much, good quality content should always be there, and it should always express, support, and enhance your brand. So, we create it for you ― or we refresh your existing one.
