Great brands, like great people, have a distinctive look and personality. They know who they are and behave as such, constantly delivering their promise and evolving to stay relevant, authentic and differentiated.
THE BRAND REFRESH
Think of it as a spa for your brand, where your look feel and purpose are refreshed, renewed and revitalized. The Brand Refresh was designed so your brand can emerge as the best possible version of itself. And what we mean by “best” is the most authentic, relevant and differentiated version of a brand. Together we will craft your brand story. The true story of a full-featured brand that will live in your Brand Book and Brand Manifesto.
FULL STORY BRANDING
We love startups. Brands that are just getting started need a name, a face, an identity and a logo. We are going for the full story, your true story in order for your brand to successfully launch into the world. Together we create—Together we decide—on your look, your feel, your purpose. We will craft what makes you authentic, relevant and differentiated. Our goal is to emerge with the whole story of a full-featured brand that will live in your Brand Book and Brand Manifesto.
METHOD: BRANDING BY THE BEACH
This highly-pleasurable, multi-sensory experience was designed to define, differentiate and drive brand success. We prefer to do these branding sessions at our Beach House on Lake Michigan, as we’ve found viewpoints expand and creative juices flow the closer you get to open water.
The session includes group collaging, power dotting, color dotting and an exploration of the look, feel, smell, taste and sound of the brand. Along with these senses, we also explore the brand’s sense of responsibility.
This method was developed and refined by Cheryl Berman after 30 years of branding experience with clients like McDonalds, Hallmark, Altoids, Coca Cola and Disney.
