Messaging & Visual Identity
An old, dare we say ancient, Creative Director we worked with had a favorite saying – ‘when we have facts we will use facts, if we have opinions we will just use mine.’ Classic, right? When it comes to existing brands, we gather facts in the form of thoughts, opinions, and feedback from your best clients and customers to create an image and message that truly resonates with them. But for new brands, we tap into our startup experience and 3rd party data to craft a killer marketing brand strategy and image that’ll take them to the top.
