The single most important idea in all of marketing: the brand idea
Lots of talk in marketing about “transformation,” but nothing is more transformative to a company than identifying and articulating its brand idea. We have done countless brand idea projects for agencies like North, for consumer brands like Seybert’s Billiards, for B2B rebrands like MP (formerly MassPay), and even non-profits like Rogerson Communities.
Here’s how we do it and some case studies.
How we do it
We leverage the Ideasicle X virtual platform and our access to A-list creative talent
Immersion
We start by getting smart on your business. We review all identity materials, interview the leadership team and other key constituencies, and prepare a creative brief. Or this work may already be done, in which case we’ll review your research thoroughly in preparation.
Idea Generation
We assemble a world-class team of 4 creative talent with expertise in branding and copywriting. We focus on taglines that are not only well articulated lines, but represent a bigger position the company can rally around. We typically conduct two rounds of ideas because the feedback we get from round one becomes the “brief” for round two, making the team doubly dangerous (in a good way). Note: when we talk about your brand ask about the therapeutic effect our process has on a leadership team.
Manifesto
Once we land on an approved brand idea, one of the writers from the team will have the added task of writing a manifesto to bring the idea to life. This manifesto becomes immediately useful for the marketing team, as it’s the inspiration for internal audiences to channel the brand into everything they do. It’s also the “brief” for any other outside vendors (designers, ad agencies, consultants, etc.), so their work will reflect the brand.
