Brand Stewards

• Once defined, the brand becomes an invaluable organizing principle. We use it for every single marketing decision. As Brand Stewards, we seek to insure that the brand is true in all its manifestations--from the advertising to the development of loyalty programs to the design of web sites.

• This is what our clients seek from us: strategic insight and business applications, as well as creative communication solutions.

``Within every brand is a product, but not every product is a brand.''

Information Gathering

• The Brand Stewardship process helps us to know your brand inside out, gathering general information on:

• The product details--every element of the product • The consumers--from the loyal to the potential • The competition--direct and indirect, trends, etc. • The environment--the company behind the Brand and

the broader consumer environment.
