Brand for Maple Grove companies.
A brand is the story a company can tell consistently. We build the positioning, the identity system and the two stories every growth company needs, one for investors, press and partners, one for the people who pay, and the guidelines that keep them consistent as the team grows.
What it is
Positioning comes first: who the company is for, what it does that the alternatives do not, and the words it uses to say so. The identity follows: mark, type, color, and the system that lets the team apply it without a designer in the room.
One of the fastest-growing cities in the state, with retail, healthcare and home-services companies. The system is the same one we run for public companies, venture-backed founders and owner-operators anywhere; the full description is on the brand page.
What we build
Built once, owned by the company.
Positioning and messaging
The audience, the claim, the proof, and the tone, written down and agreed.
Identity system
Logo, type, color and layout rules, with guidelines the team can use.
The two stories
The company story for investors, press and partners, and the buyer's story for the people who pay.
How it's measured
Consistency across every touchpoint, and the conversion of the pages the story lives on.
Questions
- Do you run the brand for companies in Maple Grove?
- Yes. Brand is one of the nine systems we build and run, for companies in Maple Grove and wherever the client is. It is built once, run monthly, and measured the same way everywhere: consistency across every touchpoint, and the conversion of the pages the story lives on.
- How does it start?
- With a month of research, interviews and a strategy. Brand is scoped there, alongside the rest of the stack, and built in month two if the strategy calls for it.
- Do you do rebrands?
- Yes. From positioning through identity and the site, or the identity alone when the positioning is sound. We built the DealerCentives brand from nothing.
