Our Brand Strategy Services As An Agency

Brand Workshops

Part of our branding strategy involves hosting a brand workshop. We carry these out to take a deep dive into the core identity of your brand. Taking note of key stakeholders, customer experience and your vision and goals, we can explore and define what shapes your brand essence. Establishing this from the get go will pave the way in planning an impactful branding strategy to elevate your brand's presence. Executing a brand workshop within your brand strategy offers an opportunity to collaborate with all key parties involved. Through sharing and determining the brand purpose and direction, our brand strategy agency can nurture its development.

Brand Strategy

A brand strategy can be developed once there is a deeper understanding of what it currently represents, and what the future aspirations are for the business. Here at BGN, we factor in all of the pivotal elements that build your brand's identity, from visual and verbal identity through to how this translates on your website and social campaigns, and create a roadmap for any forthcoming changes and estimated results.

Positioning

Determining your brands positioning is also crucial to assess whether its current placement aligns with the short and long term business goals. Our brand strategy agency includes positioning in brand strategies, as being a dominant force within ever changing markets is essential to compete against growing competition.

Value Proposition Development

Our branding strategy will also take a closer look at your value proposition development. This is a strategic process by which we identify the unique value your brand provides to its customers. Solidifying your brand's purpose and mission in the minds of its consumers will not only support its sustainable growth, but will also make it a leader within the industry. We will assess how your product compares to competitors and establish why consumers feel it offers greater appeal. If something is missing, we will work with you to uncover how to differentiate your brand.

Brand Guardianship

Brand guardianship is the preservation of your brand across all possible channels. Our brand strategy agency in Manchester will assess the consistency of your brand's narrative, ensuring that an accurate message is being shared across the board. From your customer interactions to your branding campaigns, ensuring that your brand consistently sticks to its guidelines will support the growth and continuity of your brand's message.

Brand Models and Frameworks

Your brand model and framework will allow you to structure your branding with tangible guidelines. As part of our brand strategy, we will collaborate in creating your brand framework using strategic alignment, differentiation, and most importantly solidifying your communicative strategy, to name a few metrics. There are a number of brand framework models we can use to determine these principles and we will be able to showcase this visually based on your request.

Brand Message Strategy and Communication

When adhered to consistently, your brand strategy in relation to communication can be the determining factor in perfecting your brand's image in terms of customer perception. Communication across all channels, including social media, web design, advertising, and customer interactions, needs to provide a harmonious message that delivers a clear brand message. Solidifying your brand communication within your brand strategy will reinforce your ideal message, and create the ideal perception for optimal customer engagement.

Brand Audits

Brand audits are another imperative element of an effective brand strategy. Our brand strategy agency will carry out an audit to help us to assess your brand's current position within its market segment, whilst identifying areas of strength and weakness. A brand audit can be specific to key areas of your businesses such as your current communication or brand engagement, but a comprehensive brand strategy would require a complete brand audit including all metrics of the business. Brand audits are an insightful tool that we use within our strategy to ensure that no stone is left unturned in regards to your brand strategy. From here, we can implement effective steps towards change, driving the brand towards the direction of growing success.

Brand Strategy Process

As with any of our processes, we always start off with thinking before doing.

Brand workshop

We can’t outline your path to success without first understanding who you are. That’s why we start by hosting a brand workshop, where we flesh out what you stand for, what your expectations are, and how we will tailor our process based on your business.

Competitor analysis

From there, our brand strategy team will conduct a competitor analysis to determine your position within the market and identify clear USP’s that should be highlighted within branding.

Brand audit

Our brand strategists in Manchester will then take these business aims, current insights and competitor analysis to begin conducting a brand audit. They include your ‘what, how and why’ as well as values, audience needs and SWOT analysis. We will present our findings and recommendations for brand strategy and development with you and close stakeholders for optimal internal insight.

From stand-out concept to print-ready artwork

Once you’ve chosen a stand-out concept (or combination of different concepts) from our creative packaging pitches, we’ll refine it and take you all the way to production. Print-ready artwork can go to your preferred printer, or one of our partners.

Measurement

Finally, we’ll give you the tools to measure the difference that your new branding strategy has made. Clear objectives and success metrics enable you to consistently work towards your vision of the future.
