BRAND STRATEGY
Every memorable brand starts with a strategy
Your brand exists in the minds of your customers. What they remember about you determines your success. Our brand strategy practice helps you identify and refine the unique memory at the core of your brand and curate it in a way that no one will forget.

Audit and analysis
We'll start by evaluating your current brand, talking to your customers, and analyzing your competitive landscape so that we have a clear understanding of who you are and what opportunities and gaps exist.
Integrated branding methodology
We utilize the integrated branding model. In this method, we focus first on developing your brand drivers (informed by audience research). The central brand driver is the brand essence. These brand drivers are used to inform everything else from naming, to brand architecture, to visual identity.
Workshop-Driven Process
Throughout the branding process we will facilitate multiple workshops designed to gather input from stakeholders and collaboratively generate ideas to inform the brand strategy.

Curating the unique memory at the center of your brand
CASE STUDY
REDAPT
Comprehensive brand development
When enterprise technology solutions provider Redapt acquired a cloud services company, they needed a way to move forward with a single, unified brand. At the same time, the company wanted to refresh its branding to better reflect its new trajectory.
Research & brand strategy
Our team conducted a competitive analysis and in-depth interviews with customers, team members, and partners to understand what makes Redapt unique. We then used our collaborative workshop approach to develop a set of brand drivers that would unify their company and differentiate them from their competition.
Visuals & messaging
With our brand strategy in place we moved on to designing a new logo, visual system and strategic messaging that deeply reflected who they are and how they want to show up in the world.
Implementation
With all the building blocks in place we helped them implement their brand (including a new website) in less than 6 weeks leading up to Microsoft Ignite, where Redapt had the opportunity to introduce their brand to the world.
