What is brand strategy?

Brand strategy is an actionable plan that defines clear goals on how, when and where you want your target audience to experience your company. How they feel about, talk about and interact with every aspect of your organisation. From logo to customer service and anything in between. A brand strategy answers question such as:

  • Why does my company exist?
  • What is our mission, vision and added value for the customer?
  • What does my ideal customer look like?
  • How do we communicate?

Why brand strategy?

Your brand is your most valuable asset. We all know that. It’s been thoroughly thought through. It’s been shaped over years, studied by many and loved by most. However, in order to stay relevant in this extremely competitive and changing marketspace, it’s essential to occasionally take a good look at how your brand performs and where you can improve upon.

- Get a fresh perspective
Before we start with developing a brand strategy, we start with a brand analysis. Our strategists look at your brand with a fresh pair of eyes. Is your brand still supporting marketing and sales efforts? Who are your main competitors? Who are the most important customers? Who are outliers, the future industry leaders? And most importantly, does your brand stand out from competition? This brand analysis gives a clear picture of the current state of your brand as well as actionable steps towards achieving your ambitions.

A brand analysis is the perfect base for any successful brand strategy.

- Solidify your brand in one guided session
Build or reinforce your brand in 5 hours during one extremely high paced exercise. All we need is a couple of important stakeholders in a room to pick your collective brains. It’s that simple.

During the 5-hour brand strategy sprint we will….

  • Deconstruct your brand
  • Why does your brand exist?
  • Decide on core values
  • What is most important to the way you run your business on a daily basis?
  • Identify your audience
  • Who are you trying to reach? And what do they need/desire?
  • Define brand personality
  • What do you want your brand to look/feel like?
  • Explore your brand voice
  • How do you want to convey your brand (personality)?
  • Understand the competitive landscape
  • Who else is out there, trying to reach the same audience?
  • Envision the future
  • Where do you want to take your brand - and your organisation - in 5 years from now?


The outcome? Obviously we can’t (re)build a brand in just a couple of hours. What we can do is set a very clear direction and connect your branding to future needs. We’ll provide data & analysis and use the input of this session to write a super simple and condensed brand guide. This brand guide will form a solid base to help you grow, achieve goals and develop your branding even further.

To us, a brand identity is the sum total of how your brand looks, feels and speaks to people. We approach brand identity design strategically. Once we have your brand strategy in place, we can create a powerful and recognizable brand identity. One that truly reflects your brand and sets it apart from your competitors. We make sure your brand identity elements are consistent in appearance, use, scope, colour palette and feel.

Let us (re)design these Brand Identity elements:


  • Logo, wordmark or logo variations
  • Key brand colours and colour palette
  • Typefaces
  • Typographic treatments
  • Brand style guide
  • Your visual identity on social media
  • A consistent style for images and content
  • Typographic treatments
  • Imagery
