Do you need a brand strategy makeover?

Check all that apply
People struggle to explain what your company actually does or why it matters.
Your messaging, tone and visuals aren’t aligned or consistent.
You sound like everyone else in your market and your value gets lost in the noise.
Your website and sales materials no longer reflect who you’ve become.
There are no clear brand guidelines, so every campaign feels like it starts from scratch.

Frequently asked website questions

Brand strategy is where clarity starts. These FAQs explain why we begin every engagement with strategy, how it connects to design and messaging, and what you can expect from the process.

Close all tabs

Why start with brand strategy before marketing execution?
01

A clear, well-understood brand strategy - messaging, tone of voice, audience personas and visual design guidelines - ensures consistency. More importantly, it improves targeting, engagement, credibility and impact. It brings coherence and direction to all our work. It’s the difference between a Difference Engine® and a random collection of parts.

Do you handle visual identity and design as well as messaging?
02

Yes, but only after strategy. Once we’ve clarified your brand story, tone and positioning, we translate that into a design system, logos and templates.

What if we already have a logo or brand guidelines?
03

That’s fine. We build on what’s working. Most clients come to us with some of the assets we need and some gaps they need to fill and some elements that need refinement instead of reinvention. In every case, we need to get to a point where there is a coherent, clear and complete set of brand guidelines and we need to internalise them to deliver the maximum impact.

How long does a brand strategy project take?
04

Usually 4–8 weeks, depending on scope and stakeholder availability.

Who needs to be involved from our side?
05

Typically your leadership, marketing and sales teams. We facilitate workshops that align everyone around a single, powerful brand architecture. We know people are busy. We work hard to make the best use of their time.

How do you prove the impact of brand work?
06

We measure clarity and consistency via messaging tests, engagement metrics and improved marketing performance. In the longer term, we can re-run stakeholder surveys and measure improved brand performance and share of voice in AI tools and Google.

Can you help us communicate with investors or technical audiences?
07

Yes. We specialise in turning complex technology and science into simple, credible messages. We also build best practice investor areas for websites.

What happens after the strategy phase?
08

We run a handover presentation meeting, and you get a copy of our positioning deck and supporting documents - ready to feed into your website and marketing campaigns.
