Analysis of customer segments, market trends, current brand strengths & weaknesses and development of a strategy going forward. One of the tools we use to accomplish this is called a G+K Brand Roadmap. The Brand Roadmap is a document developed through a strategic process that identifies your company’s unique values, message and personality. Once completed, it serves as a template for you and everyone else in your organization to follow to ensure brand consistency. In essence, your Brand Roadmap will give everyone in your company a clear vision of who your company is, and what your company stands for. G+K Brand Roadmap G+K works closely with your company to create: CORE VALUES. The values that your company is built on. The goal is to identify the values that uniquely define the essence of your brand. G+K guides your company through this process, asking key questions and focusing on establishing a clear line of reasoning. CORE BRAND MESSAGE. The overall key message your company wants to communicate. It MUST be consistent with the core values. BRAND PERSONALITY. The overall tone you use to deliver your company’s message…the key emotional” component. It is clearly defined as who your company is in ALL circumstances. BRAND ICONOGRAPHY. The Final Stage: The executional tools used to deliver your brand message and personality. They include your logo, colors, tagline or slogan, tone, website, brochures, email, social media, sales promotion, etc. Brand Vision The essence of branding is to create a bond with your customer. It’s much more than just a name or a logo—it’s your promise of satisfaction. Your company’s articulated Brand Vision is a macro view of the aspirational image for your brand. It’s an on-going evolutionary relationship that is based in the customer’s perceptions and actual experience with your customer. Because we develop a long-range view, we’re able to collaborate with stakeholders to achieve clarity and focus on communicating your company’s benefits to your customers. This ultimately translates into maximizing your company’s marketing ROI.
