Let´s be kind
Brands - instruments for change
Branding projects often get stuck in implementation. Platforms, vision statements and the mandatory set of core values do not stick and the efforts risks failing. The reasons can be many but most often it is about lack of understanding of internal complexity.
If you are looking for long-lasting effect the best way is to run the process internally. Our method is to team up with your organisation and drive brand-related change from the inside. It´s all about the nitty-gritty details and hard work. The entire organisation needs to be involved since the person who meets the brand must get same experience regardless brand touchpoint.
“A good idea is about ten percent and implementation and hard work, and luck is 90 percent.”
