hellO2BRANDING is a centre that cultivates living brands by understanding that brands need to be built to function through ever changing environments.

In order to give rise to living brands, we must first believe in them, this is our philosophy.

King Stanislaus of Poland

Before a brand comes to life, we must first believe in it. Believing allows us to see how far a brand can evolve.

To create living brands, we align brand strategies to consumer touchpoints. Brand communication runs through several channels including marketing, public relations, advertising, and interactive media. This ensures a comprehensive platform for the creation of an attuned brand culture.

To create living brands.

Living brands is a concept which recognises the need for brands to be organic in nature. Brands need to look, speak and behave according to their surroundings.

Why Believe?

The essence of our approach is to believe in a brand even before it is created. As brands’ lives unravel to accommodate their surroundings, believing and seeing their full potential is the constant amongst continuous change. This is how we give rise to believable brands.

Believable brands are created to deliver what they promise. Until a promise is delivered, it is a belief.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

The oxygen session is part of O2’s client engagement programme, designed to provide our partners with an open, creative environment in which they can share their thoughts, goals, expectations, and queries. Fully understanding the perspectives of our partners enables us to set up constructive workshops where we can openly collaborate with them. This enables us to thoroughly understand the products and services of our clients, and find the most effective branding strategies to effectively engage the target market.

The result: solid, measured, creative branding solutions that determine how brands look, speak and behave.

Using a full-fledged Integrated Marketing Communications approach, the brand is projected through multiple channels including Branding (O2BRANDING), Public Relations (O2PR), Interactive Digital Media (O2i), and Marketing Communications (O2MC), the subsidiary divisions of the O2NETWORK.

This IMC approach ensures brand alignment, and enables consistent brand delivery throughout different mediums.

By looking into our clients’ objectives, and understanding consumer expectations, we strategise to create a platform for the brand. The oxygen session determines directions for crafting three major areas of a brand: the visual treatment (how the brand looks), the literary treatment (how the brand speaks) and the brand values (how the brand behaves).

a brand is not what you say it is,

A brand is defined by how consumers relate to it. It’s their perception and interpretation of their brand experience.

When projecting our partners’ brand values, we strive to create a captivating brand experience for the target audience. Regardless of which marketing channels are used, consumer engagement is vital to the survival of the brand.

In a world where consumers shape the marketplace, marketers need more than just good advertising and publicity to drive profitable growth; businesses need to be able to identify WHATTHEMARKETWANTS in order to deliver responsive solutions. They need to engage consumers in the development of the communications process. Marketers must find fresh and innovative ways to effectively penetrate the market to communicate with the target audience who are relentlessly bombarded with media. By presenting a distinctive and persuasive message and disseminating it through strategically selected channels, marketers can bypass the media noise, successfully communicate the message, and achieve their clients’ objectives.
