Rethink. Rebrand. Relaunch.
When you first bring your brand into the world, you make decisions at pace. They’re right for that moment, but in time, you hit those awkward teenage years. You outgrow your old identity without knowing the direction you’re headed in. You know you have to re-evaluate and reposition, but handing all of that over to an outsider can be daunting.
That’s why we believe in a consultative guided approach. Fewer fireworks, more fizz – giving you an authentic identity that will last.
Co-creation is at the heart of how we work. We can take you through the whole process or one step at a time:
Brand foundation
More1:1 sessions to clarify your personal vision, scoping where you are and where you want to be.

We believe…
Brand trumps
marketing
If you don’t define your brand, you’ll never really believe in what you’re saying and you’ll keep on with frustratingly ineffective scattershot marketing. Lead with a brand strategy. From there, your marketing plan will fall into place. A brand-first approach will maximise all your efforts across the business, not just marketing; your next hire, the next event you attend, the next big decision.
Pause before running
We need to stop random acts of branding: those knee-jerk actions will send you zig-zagging off course. We believe in pausing before running because when you’re in the thick of it, it isn’t always easy to take a step back. As an external guide, we can help you to unblock and see things differently. It doesn’t have to take a long time; it just needs some space, and some focused attention.
Branding is a
collaborative process
Leave egos at the door and get shot of ‘The Big Reveal’. The Mad Men style agency creative presentations should be a thing of the past. Branding is a journey that everyone needs to go on together. We believe in quiet democracy, involving you and your team right the way through the process to get the best creative and strategic result. This way, they’ll become passionate brand advocates, with everyone pulling in the same direction. With us, there are fewer surprises. It may not be as ‘exciting’, but it is way more effective in the long run.

Look from the
outside in
A brand position is not something you can completely control; it exists in your audience’s mind. By involving your customer or client, we glean valuable insights and an alternative perspective that wouldn’t be possible if we focused solely on what you and your team think is right. We investigate their pains and gains and what value you deliver for them; what motivates them to engage with you and find out what it is that they love?
With a clear
purpose and a
strong vision you
will fly
Once you’ve nailed your position in the mind of your audience you’ll be unstoppable. You can adjust your course but your reason for flight and the end destination never change.
