We shape brand platforms that emotionally connect companies with their audiences.

We deliver clarity and impact that connect and drive success. Our strategic process starts with an in-depth analysis of your organisation's current state. Leveraging market and consumer insights, we integrate the needs of your target audience into the brand development process. Our comprehensive understanding of your brand, the markets, and the people allows us to model brand platforms that not only add value and differentiate but also forge emotional connections.

BMW

BMW Financial Services addressed customer awareness challenges by implementing the brand promise "All in. Simply smart" and developing a value proposition focused on "Ease" and "Peace of Mind." A two-phase social media campaign improved global clarity and engagement, enhancing brand presence. This initiative was developed in collaboration with Pixelhausen and Cream AI, showcasing a refined strategy to effectively connect with the audience.

EnBW

EnBW, a leading German energy company, sought a strategic platform to shape its future and engage employees. By positioning employees as key enablers, Spiral Dynamics was used for cultural interviews and analyses to develop a comprehensive brand strategy. This approach included creating a new brand architecture and a 360° content ecosystem with visual assets and authentic employee interviews, showcased at E-World and across various touchpoints.

Südtirol

South Tyrol, a premier European vacation destination renowned for its high-demand products such as apples, wine, and speck, is aiming to evolve beyond its successful umbrella brand established in 2004. Facing growth limits, the region seeks to transform into a holistic regional brand that encompasses crafts and industry. By emphasizing "premium" and "sustainability," we will refine the brand identity and architecture, crafting new design scenarios centered on "Quality for life." This approach integrates principles of quality, sustainability, and innovation, alongside values of authenticity, dedication, and value.

Audi

Audi is redefining premium mobility with its groundbreaking "Sphere" trilogy—Sky Sphere, Grand Sphere, and Urban Sphere. These concept cars, embodying sustainability, autonomy, digitalisation, and connectivity, are integral to Audi's "Story of Living Progress," building on the legacy of "Vorsprung durch Technik." Launched in July 2021, we collaborated with Audi on the naming of these vehicles, which focus on interior innovation and unique driving experiences through electric power and autonomous driving. Developed with Truffle Bay, they herald a new era and design language for Audi's vision of the future.

TÜV

TÜV Rheinland's People & Business Assurance department tackled its recruiting challenges with a strategic approach by crafting the employer value proposition "Genau deins." (Precisely yours.), inspired by TÜV’s brand promise. An HR-focused content ecosystem, enriched with emotional insights and film assets, provides a comprehensive 360° channel experience. Through authentic employee interviews, the department's diverse facets were brought to life, enhancing engagement and appeal to potential recruits.

Brand Analysis & Insights

Data and insights form the basis for our brand value creation and strategy development. By generating brand, target group, community and consumer insights, we gain a deep understanding of our customers and their business environment together with our insight sourcing partners at TheBay. We analyse market trends, industry developments, competitors‘ activities, social community engagements and emerging trends.

Naming

Our extensive expertise in name development and rights has led to the creation of renowned brands such as e.on, Apleona, Vonovia, and the Audi Sphere family for the 2022 concept cars—Grandsphere, Urban Sphere, Active Sphere, and Skysphere. Beyond crafting memorable names, we provide comprehensive legal and trademark advice globally through our long-standing partners. This ensures legal security and ownership of the products developed by our clients, safeguarding their investments and brand integrity.

Brand Impact

Understanding and measuring brand impact is crucial for assessing how brands are perceived, influence customer behaviour, and can be optimised both internally and externally. Brands foster identification among employees, which is why we prioritise internal brand implementation. Collaborating with our strong partners in market research, data analysis, and insight generation, we provide valuable insights into brand impact, performance, conversion, KPIs, and brand journeys. These insights empower businesses to optimise communication and marketing strategies, enhance the customer experience, and secure a competitive advantage. Additionally, they support informed decision-making and justify investments in branding initiatives.

Brand Strategy

Our approach to brand strategy involves using specialised tools, including our in-house culture analysis, to co-create robust brand identities. We define the brand's purpose, values, and identify necessary changes to enhance its impact. By developing employer value propositions, we help attract and retain talent, ensuring alignment between brand identity and HR needs. Our expertise extends to brand portfolio analysis, consulting, and migration strategies in M&A, internationalisation, and strategic alignment. Our goal is to fully express a company’s capabilities through its brand, optimising both impact and efficiency.
