We create brand platforms where Promise, Experience, and Reputation are truly aligned.

We think of brand development as a continuum that begins with the innate Promise a brand makes, which gets elaborated and delivered as an Experience. The Reputation that is derived is a measure of the brand value and power being accrued and allows performance gaps to be aligned and closed. The three connections of this “Brand Cycle” offer a clear yet sophisticated methodology, which we use to analyze, develop, and manage the way a brand grows by continually expanding its circle of influence.

Brand Strategy: Insight leads to a commanding promise.

Brands are under pressure to deliver far more than trust. A leading brand must be a beacon of understanding that defines a category and determines choice. It must express purpose, authenticity, and potential in seemingly unimaginable ways. But these qualities will be elusive unless the brand promise rests on a profound understanding of people’s functional needs, as well as their emotional desires. Our strategic work focuses on understanding context and conceiving ideas that will power brand growth and performance.

Brand Design: Essential elements create a complete experience.

Design is a leadership skill that truly distinguishes front-runners from followers. The traditional marriage of form and function has evolved dramatically to merge diverse artistic and technological skills. Consequently, our expectations of the role and behavior of organizations has been dramatically reshaped. People want products, services, environments, infrastructure, communications, and personal interactions to be seamlessly delivered as an ecosystem. We connect and express each client’s strategies as a complete experience that is designed to position them as a leader.

Brand Communication: A story, well told, becomes an expression of power.

People don’t always remember statistics or figures, but they rarely forget a good story. Effective brand communication begins with empathy—an expression of understanding and responsiveness that draws audiences closer. Once that happens, it fascinates, persuades, and shapes perceptions. A brand that captures imaginations and memories enjoys another major advantage: people sharing and participating in the story. What could be more powerful?

Brand Management: Efficient tools and methods reinforce reputation.

Think of a brand as a form of intellectual currency that consists of strategies, creativity, systems, and innovations. Part of strong brand leadership is recognizing that the potential worth of these assets depends on far more than their intellectual character and audience appreciation. Their value is also greatly determined by how skillfully they are managed and protected. Clear brand management policies, specific tools, and coordinated execution create efficiency that helps fortify a brand’s reputation.
