Brand strategy for startups. Brand mindset for founders.

You can’t build the future of your startup with solutions from the past.

We are a brand strategy consultancy with a human-centered approach and methodology designed to provide strategic clarity and creative direction. This enables you to consistently lead and execute in alignment with your brand, unlocking significant momentum for your startup.

We facilitate a mindset shift towards clarity by combining expert facilitation, strategic insights, educational components, and brand management fundamentals. This approach gets to the core of your business, allowing us to understand, frame, and address the challenges your team faces. By guiding you to embed brand-led thinking into your day-to-day practices, we ensure lasting impact and alignment with your vision.

Our foundational philosophy is that you must be intentional in every aspect of your brand from the inside out, as early as possible, to capitalize on the long-term potential of your business.

To achieve this, you must put people at the center of the brand and the brand at the center of the business.

What is brand strategy?

Is the integrated set of decisions you make to influence how people feel about your brand.

What is a brand mindset?

Is the set of principles, beliefs and attitudes that shape how you think of your brand and make decisions for your business.

Your brand strategy will thrive with a brand mindset.

Think of the brand mindset as the software you install in the hardware, your brand strategy.

The 6 traits of a brand mindset

 

You are self-aware

You know what you stand for and your informed worldview is shared by your team.

 

You think long term

You have a convincing take on the future of your business and that leads the short-term.

You are people-centric

All your decisions are made with your employees and customers at the heart of everything you do.

 

You are clear

You know what makes your offer unique and can express it confidently anywhere, anytime.

You are inspirational

You have an engaging story to tell about how you can help your customers thrive.

 

You build experiences

Everything you do is a branded experience that fosters positive feelings in your customers.

 

It is the most powerful way of making your vision tangible.

You need our help if you can’t answer the following questions clearly and confidently:

 

Why are we here?

Who are we and what’s our business’ DNA? What are the values and beliefs that shape our organization’s culture?

 

Who do we serve?

Do we understand our core customers? Who are they, and what do they want or struggle with?

 

Where do we play?

How is our market landscape and, more importantly, what’s the category we are in and the position we want to occupy on our customers’ minds.

 

What makes us win?

Why are customers going to choose us instead of our competitors? What is the one thing that makes us unique, in a compelling way?

 

How do we grow?

How is our brand going to be experienced by our customers? What’s the narrative around our offer? What systems are we going to establish to nurture, assess and coordinate all brand matters?
