Science + Art = emotion

The Strategic Approach (The Science) When we approach branding, we recognise it is

a business challenge which requires the implementation of a robust strategy to improve

the chances of success. To be successful a companys brand must fit congruently with its

products, services and the markets. Good branding takes all the parts into consideration,

from the way the company behaves (Brand Personality) to the way it looks (The Visual

Identity).The Visual Identity (The Art) is the visual representation of the brand. This visual language

gets represented on all marketing collateral such as sales literature, websites, signage etc.

and will effect the way the organisation is perceived.

AimS of the BrAnd WorkShop

to create a consensus amongst all parties responsible for delivering

the Client brand message

to define Client core values and strengths

provide an opportunity for the key decision makers to help define the Client brand

use the groups combined knowledge, experience and creativity to generate

new marketing / communication ideas to finalise a set of core brand values that can be carried forward into

all Client marketing and communication material

The workshop will not only define the Client brand, but will also highlight where

guidelines are needed for future communications materials (e.g. website, sales

marketing literature).

These tools can then be produced with confidence knowing that the content is

consistent with the agreed brand guidelines.
