Brand Drivers, Company Branding Model  The Higher Mix

Consider the whole brand equation   

We work with internal change teams, bringing our research specialists, brand experts and agile digital marketers combined to understand and address the different audience needs.  We  galvanise more conversion externally and drive internal employee engagement and buy-in.   

Never will we adopt a ‘commodity’ approach to branding, because that lacks integrity.  Likewise, we don’t chase trends in pursuit of relevance either.   We demonstrate the very clear linkage and interplay between the brand, its culture and leaders inside organisations.   

Highlighting collective impacts these elements have on the operations and employee experience.  Moving beyond product portfolios, targets, content or communications  to assess /re-position brands by more deeply examining critical drivers: culture, talent and leadership impact.

Tonality and Totality

Brand experience will causes people to “feel” a brand

How any brand is experienced effectively becomes the brand in customer and team minds – more compelling the experience, the faster an organisation will build identity and loyalty. 

Brand experience is an operational consideration hinging on the effort and commitment of your people.  So, actively manage cumulative effects of multiple touch-points and channels over time.   

Brand experience affects consumer satisfaction and perceptions – and behaviours and attitudes of team members affect the credibilty, speed and impact of your brand’s personality (associations / actions of it).   

While there is a complexity to the different experience dimensions: sensory, affective, intellectual, and behavioural, but when companies get this combination right, will deliver unique experiences that truly motivate.
