We work to detail a clearly defined picture of your brand, your product promise, your mission statement, buzzwords and branded terminology. This set a solid direction for the brand and allows you, your staff internally, and agencies like ours to work on behalf of your brand with clarity and direction.
Knowing the who, what, why, and how of your brand will allow your customers to know exactly who you are, what you do, why they should care about your brand, how your brand will impact their lives, and most importantly why they should talk about you positively to their peers.
Four Nine’s Brand Discovery starts with a comprehensive dive into the perception of your brand. We identify what separates you from the industry, determining what problems you intend to address or solve, your vision of the market. We then identify competitors and like brands, and determine how your brand fits into the mix and differentiates itself. We will develop and work through a number of exercises on our own, and in conjunction with your staff to discover the core messaging and desired position.
As a means to ensure the development of a unique brand identity that will not infringe on any existing brands or branding within related markets, you can put trust in the fact that Four Nine has researched your industry and the positioning currently occupied by competitors and similar brands within the market.
Taking these findings into account, and upon completing a thorough review of your branded materials, our team will begin the process of developing a comprehensive definition of the following elements.
• Competition & Like Brands
• Target Consumer ID (Written & Visual)
• Design Inspiration (Written & Moodboards)
• Brand Inspiration (Visual Moodboards)
• Brand Pillars
• Buzz Words / Branded Terminology
• About / Brand Intro Copy
• USP or Tagline
• Mission Statement
• Brand & Product Promise / Competitive Advantage
• Brand Standards Guide
Following our findings from the immersion next we’ll dive into the exciting part - seeing your vision and your brand identity become a reality.
