The Struggle is Real

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • I don't have the time to figure this out!
  • We've tried everything. Nothing works!
  • I feel like we're wasting marketing dollars!
  • Our social media presence has become nonexistent.
  • Our messaging is inconsistent and all over the place.
  • I'm not sure how to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.
  • I don't know how to beat my competition.
  • We're not able to charge what we should.

Creating a Strong Brand

No matter the industry, strong brands don't happen by accident. Branding services are both a science and an artform. It requires a wide range of research, analytics and proven marketing strategies coupled with creative thinking, artistic talent and design sensibilities. You need a branding agency with decades of experience working in a range of industries.

Whether you realize it or not, your branding is currently sending a message. Do you know what it is? Jeff Bezos said “Your brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room”. Do you know how people perceive you? Are you sure? If you don't control your message, you leave it open for others to define and the message they create will define you.

Branding is your opportunity to make customers feel the way you want them to feel about your business or product. It's what makes your product and business memorable, lovable, exciting, magical, etc. in the industry. Strong branding makes you immediately associate a green, muscular arm with an exciting, heroic and iconic pop culture brand. This same arm in any other color would not have evoked the same association or feelings.

Your Logo is Not Your Brand

It's surprising how many people don't realize that their logo is NOT their brand. Branding goes far beyond the logo. A logo design might even change over time, but the branding itself should remain relatively unchanged. It's the identity, message, and attributes of the personality of your business, product or service and the promise it makes and delivers to the client.

Even without a logo, a white and green paper coffee cup is instantly associated with Starbucks. Moreover, the attributes they have carefully selected and intentionally earned are subconsciously identifiable by most of the world's population.

Although your logo is not your brand, it plays a significant role in your branding as an identifier. As with other aspects of your branding and marketing, the logo itself should be developed following the guidelines set forth in your Brand Positioning & Strategy directives.

Our Branding Process Creates Clarity

 

There's a disciplined approach behind our successful branding services that we've developed and honed throughout our 30 years of experience here in Phoenix AZ. Our process is constantly evolving as our team makes new discoveries, learns from the findings and changing methodologies of others in the field, and takes advantage of the latest technologies.

Once hired, we work closely with you and your executive team, taking you through an in-depth series of discovery exercises. Together, we identify such important factors as market segments and individual customer types within these segments.

We drill down into specific details about each customer type, from the kind of car they might drive to their typical daily routine, their specific needs, wants, likes, dislikes, stressors, triggers, social pressures, buying habits, etc.

Our creative team goes far beyond what most other advertising agencies and digital marketing agencies in the industry provide when they offer branding services here in Phoenix, Arizona. But we don't consider ourselves to be like most other agencies. In fact, our services, strategy development, ideas, and talent more closely resemble that found at the big advertising agencies in L.A., New York or Chicago (just without the big price tag). We like being the kind of branding agency Phoenix AZ based companies in any industry can rely on for that world-class edge they need to compete on the local, national, and international stage.
