This work is most effective as part of the Brand Book work.

There's a service to help with that too.

 

The work begins with a Brand Workshop, which takes place over 2 hours, held online or at a venue of your choosing.

 

The workshop follows an interactive format.

 

Everything is prepared in advance —all you need to do is bring felt tips and enthusiasm.

 

This session works best with the brand owner(s) /GM, Marketing or Brand Manager and/or brand founders and is also an opportunity to become fully immersed in your brand. 

 

A collaborative session, the brand workshop will also help organise and formalise the brand personality, USP and target audience and help determine the tone of voice direction and how best to position it within the current zeitgeist.

 

Together, we will work through the following prompters:

 

• What are the brand expressions and interests?


• What is it an authority on?

• What is important to the brand —what are its values and principles?


• What is the brand promise?

• What is its personality, and whom is it talking to? 


 

We will also look at specific nuances that inform the guidelines, such as:

 

• Is the audience short on time

• Do they have the luxury of taking time to read the copy


• Editorial style guide—e.g. grammar conventions.


• Context—e.g. when is it appropriate to be informal

​

 

Work combines brand intent with personality and is based on the key brand pillars. 

It’s from this context that we will develop the bespoke tone and subsequent brand language.

 

From here, exceptional presentations are developed: industry-recognised tools and guidelines for activation.

 

Benefit from regular check-ins and a commitment to ensure the work remains on track.
