Process
Every project is different – there is no cookie-cutter approach.
However, we do use a four-stage process to guide you through the journey, with each stage uniquely built around the requirements of
your project.
1. Define
The listening & discovery stage
This is about gathering a wider understanding of who
you are and what your business needs. We listen to you and speak to your clients, as well as reviewing current communications to establish a creative brief and future
end targets.
2. Refine
The purpose & positioning stage
Shaping outcomes from the define stage into a clear brand strategy for your team to champion.
3. Design
The visual & verbal Stage
Bringing to life the insights from earlier stages into an ownable visual & verbal system across internal and external communications.
4. Align
The implementation stage
Handing over the new brand toolkit and templates, making sure the team are happy with their new brand assets before the launch.
