Brand Consulting
Your logo is not your brand
Let’s find your story and create the experience
A brand is what people feel about your product, service, or organization.
It’s part rational, but also very emotional. It’s what makes the difference between tissues vs. Kleenex. Or why we now google it vs. just search. Your brand should be both meaningful and relevant to your target audience. It’s about being authentic to your mission, vision, and values - in essence, do what you say and do it consistently across every touchpoint, communication channel, and decision made.

Brand Strategy
