How it all comes together

When we work your brand, we leverage our LUCID framework to identify and bring out your brand’s foundations, so that it’s aligned with your business and brand strategy. This is also to ensure that your brand promises can be easily understood and that it resonates with your consumers.

No brand is ever the same.

By applying the LUCID framework, you can be confident that the direction we set for your brand is globally and locally aligned, while being responsive to current market conditions.

Learn & Understand

Great creative starts with good insights. ​

​To kick start the process, we will begin with a deep dive to listen and understand your internal business structure and strategy, as well as of all parts of it.  The approaches we’ve used before that has been very successful includes desktop conducting a competitor scan and holding key stakeholder interviews.  ​

​The output from the Learn and Understand Phase is to get a clear understanding of your business and brand’s unique history, current culture, special capabilities, strategic strengths, opportunities and threats, value strategy, organisational dynamics, management style and the profile of employees.​

We bring in our creative task force to help visually conceptualise what your brand might look like, and the story you’re trying to tell. We ask a lot of meticulous questions to ensure that we create something you will love.

Questions might include:
What is an aspirational brand you love the design of?
What colours do you like?
What colours do you dislike?
You want upper case or lower case?
Minimalist, bold, contemporary … ?

Getting the point?

Imaginate: Imagine + Create

The Imaginate Phase is where you see our magic comes to life. We combine everything we’ve discovered and confirmed from the Learn, Understand and Conceptulise phases to bring the creative idea to life! ​

At this phase, the creative idea bridges the gap at the global, regional and local level. This is because our creative idea has emerged from our robust LUCID process. It has market research and insights that has been validated and can be tested. This in turn can add speed and efficiency and speed to the evolving development of your brand’s strategies and communications, offers or further service and product developments. The direction is clear, and all levels of your company can quickly use it to act.

Deliver

During Deliver Phase you will see the creative excellence we’ve been striving for your brand. The brand strategies and design elements come together across the touch points that mean the most to your consumers and communities. The visual brand look and feel, as well as all design and storytelling elements, are cohesive and consistent and stands out in the market place. But the work doesn’t end here. We still need to continue planning, refining and monitoring the brand’s progress and the value it brings to your business.
