PLAYBOOK

METHODOLOGY


We believe a brand belongs to the people who experience it. That's why everything we do, is through the lens of your customer. To help connect with your customers, we have a four-fold approach that starts with research and ends with design and tactical delivery.

STRATEGY.

Be bold, yet simple. No one has time for your bits and bytes. Your products are made in a factory. Your code lives on a cloud. But brands are created in the mind. Emotional, sticky, remarkable, and We believe playing it safe is a flawed strategy because boring is invisible. Our strategic playbook helps breathe life into your brand strategy and frame ideas concisely that are human, helpful, and honest. We will help strategically define your vision, mission, tone, values, and more.

DESIGN.

We believe there is beauty when something works intuitively, so we believe that good design is about being simple, human, and understanding the way people behave. It's about seeing through their eyes and the people they touch. We tend to be minimalists who design out complexities, value white space, and avoid the tired and trite. Our chief design officer has 25+ years experience with a masters in design, too. Our head digital designer is an expert in UI/UX and no stranger to Figma.

BRAND IQ

With personality maps from Carl Jung, we build human-like brands.

Creator? Magician? Hero? or Ruler? When companies understand the power of Carl Jung's brand archetypes, building brands becomes much simple and much more empowering. During our strategic deep dive, we build human-like brand personas for each and every company we work with. We create a brand IQ that embodies who you are, why you exist, and why it matters. If you don't stand for something, your brand voice falls for everything.
