The Posture to creating a brand that stands the test of time

Branding is what allows you to have pricing power. To be in a place where you can build products for your customers instead of scrambling to find customers for your products.
        Building a brand is like building a religion; carefully crafting the symbolism, meaning, story and personality of the company and then showing up consistently- is what creates a brand that will stand the test of time.

Our process

At first glance, the process we follow is simple, but it incorporates many important details that are vital to a successful innovation process.
          This process can be conducted on a small scale for a few innovation ideas, or serve as the foundation for multi-programme innovation at large corporations. Whichever the case, the key is not to skip any steps while still moving at a speed suited for innovation.

A mindset to create game-changing initiatives

Direct marketing is marketing that is fundamentally different from brand marketing. This is where we break down and measure the KPI's and improve them. It's about experimenting and getting more and more customers from each ad engagement.

Smart & effective video marketing creation

Producing video for marketing campaigns has its own distinct process as well.
          It's all about crafting the "hook" of the video campaign. The "hook" is the core of the video campaign what makes it both unique and valuable to your customer - while at the same time staying true to what your brand stands for.

Placements 5/5
This is where the video will live. Whether its through a digital platform, such as Facebook or YouTube or played at a live event or in-store; the video must be adapted to fit the environment and systems must be set up to measure the performance.
