our approach and process to help you grow
A collaborative mindset is at the heart of every project… we want you to feel we are part of your team. It is you, the client, who knows your product or service better than anyone. Therefore, we partner with you and commit to understanding your values and goals, enabling us to deliver creative, engaging, meaningful and memorable branding and communication solutions.
We like to keep things simple, so our collaborative approach is a distilled three step process…
1
Vision
The starting point
We listen and ask then explore and discover. It’s likely we will ask you to complete or project brief (even if you supply your own) so we can learn about you and your customers in order to develop insight and a clear vision for your brand.
2
Strategy
The foundation
From the insights we have developed, we begin to define objectives, craft ideas and develop considered solutions in order to simplify what may at times seem complex.
3
Design
The visualisation
We apply our creative processes to visually execute the strategic objectives, ideas and solutions. We then launch your brand so it can stand-out, reach and connect with its desired audience. This step also provides assets and tools to help you care for, develop and grow your brand beyond its launch. Beyond this point we look to partner with you to nurture and evolve your brand over time.
a bit more about us
Experience
Our studio was established in 2000. Over the years we have acquired our experience designing and developing memorable brands and effective communication for a number of Government agencies, large organisations, small businesses, not-for-profits and startups.
Collaboration
We believe in the strength of collaboration in order to foster long-term relationships and are genuinely excited about helping you boost your brand equity and grow your business. Our studio is a small and independent business so you get to collaborate directly with the business owner, designer and thinker who is working on your project. Collaboration is also the key to eliminating unnecessary overheads. We team up with other creative specialists for additional expertise and services based on project requirements.
Delivering value and respecting time
Delivering long-term value to our clients is what we strive to achieve, therefore we generally do not charge fees by the hour, but by the value and results we deliver. We do not believe in working for free or participating in free pitching for projects, we respect everyone’s time… including our own.
