Brand positioning and message, for companies that lost the thread

18 years of experience

Eighteen years in brand, split between agency and client side in Los Angeles. Consumer product launches, and repositioning work for companies that had stopped being able to say what they were. The problem I meet most often is not a logo problem and not a colour problem. It is that nobody in the company can say, in one sentence, who they exist for and what they get chosen instead of. Until that sentence exists, everything downstream - the site, the ads, the sales deck - is vague, and vague does not get fixed with media budget. So that is what we work on. It is uncomfortable, it usually takes the whole hour, and it changes more than anything else I could do for you in sixty minutes. Come with your actual competitors in mind, not a category description.
