Brand Strategy

important?

belangrijk?

Your brand strategy is a powerful tool that clarifies your goals, target audience, and approach — all driven by your brand's core. It unites your employees, ensuring they communicate and behave consistently. Plus, it turns customers into loyal fans who promote your brand without you having to ask them for it. From your website to your product packaging, each of your interactions should consistently reflect and reinforce what your brand stands for.

Research: Trends and the market

Before we start with our workshops, we explore current trends to understand how your audience thinks and acts. We also research the market and your competition to determine how we can help you distinguish yourself.

Brand Pressure Cooker: Mapping your stakeholders

Who are your stakeholders? What drives them? Together, we create personas and draft an empathy map of your main stakeholders.

Brand Pressure Cooker: Brand essence

Time to dive deep into the core of your business! This is the reason why your brand exists, expressed in the simplest, most compelling sentence. A strong brand essence is at the core of everything you do. It’s the hook for every idea, the catalyst for new products and services, the foundation for your communication strategy, and the criterion for selecting partners.

4

Brand Pressure Cooker: Brand story, brand personality, brand promise, and brand values 

During the final step, we define your brand’s values, voice, personality, and characteristics—all based on your brand story. On top of that, we establish your brand promise, which answers the question your audience asks when considering whether or not to engage with your brand. We make sure your offer is presented to them in the most valuable way.

Brand blueprint

Finally, we provide a one-page blueprint and a strategy document containing clear steps. These detail your brand strategy, and you can seamlessly integrate them into your marketing plans or brand identity.

The blueprint outlines your ‘why,’ ‘how,’ ‘what,’ purpose, mission, vision, brand values, brand promise, core competencies, and growth objectives. The comprehensive brand strategy report can guide your long-term planning. Additionally, it helps align your brand strategy with your business and marketing objectives.
