Our Identity Development Process starts by taking a step back from what we are asked to create and understanding the context of the problem at hand.
We are interested in honouring our client’s past experiences, asking the right questions to understand how they wish to be perceived and how they wish to move forward.
Building a strong brand is about having a clear understanding of where you come from and what your identity stands for, and then making sure everyone else understands it too.
