Brand Strategy
Phase 1: PositioningProject Launch We start your project off by preparing a customized Creative Brief to review with your team. We discuss goals, anticipated growth, marketing budget including media buys and scope of work.
Industry + Client Research Next we move into Industry research to review history, the current state of the industry, the biggest players and the public’s perception. We also analyze your Creative Brief responses and research specific competitors.
Innovation Research We compile industry research for proven solutions, explore other industries for cross-platform solutions and brainstorm innovative solutions.
Persona DevelopmentTo be found online by the right prospective buyer, you first need to define just who that person is. Building a strong model of this ideal customer, or Buyer Persona, is the key to successful social media marketing.
Create Positioning and MessagingDuring this phase, we create your positioning statement and core messages.
Phase 2: Brand DevelopmentDevelop Identity PackageThis is when we create your visual identity including:
Phase 3: Tactical + Media Buy RecommendationsGoals & FocusWe will establish your top 3 foci and overarching goal.
Create TacticsHere we get creative to develop tactics that are realistic and accessible from partnerships, to social media, to grass roots and more.
Create Media Buy Recommendations [if needed]If we are creating a media calendar for you, this is when we determine the best channels and outlets, begin negotiating preliminary rates and draft our recommendations.
Present Strategy + Finalization We present all of our research and recommendations to you during each phase in a first draft format for your feedback. Once you have reviewed, we make any adjustments as a draft two, we finalize the strategy and media buys.
Building your brand is about changing the way you tell your story. Your brand must be digital now to survive. Your customers want to talk with your brand.
Engage them. They’re begging you to.

People are bombarded with marketing messages every day. The way we consume brands is constantly changing, making “traditional” a dirty word in marketing. You have to get creative.
You have to think a little differently – or a lot differently – if you want to make an impact. You have to embrace technology. And you have to be willing to be bold and show some nerve with your marketing. That’s where think creative group comes in.
