The unique brand promise, or Brand TruthTM, is found at the
rational and emotional juncture of these two perceptions.


Brand Truth diagram

We identify and leverage the power within the unique experience of a brand by tapping into the fundamental values of the organization and linking them with the psychosocial needs that the brand fulfills for the target audience. This is the brand promise fulfilled, the Brand Truth—the rational and emotional value that a brand delivers to the target audience.

We develop brand strategies by identifying and focusing on those elements of the Brand Truth that drive attitudes, behavior and, ultimately, brand loyalty.

  1. We assess the competitive and cultural environment of the brand.


  2. We uncover the unique brand identity—internally and externally—that resonates most strongly with target audiences, motivates employees and stands out in the competitive marketplace.


  3. We work with you to ensure that this identity and target audiences' psychosocial motivations are fully leveraged in all marketing communications.


  4. We help communicate the Brand Truth internally to create a more effective, efficient and unified organization in which the brand promise is delivered at all customer touch-points.


  5. If desired, we periodically assess your communications to ensure the brand positioning and messaging strategy continue to be distinctive and relevant in light of competitive and cultural trends.


These services ensure that advertising, direct marketing, public relations, interactive and internal communications are truly integrated and have the greatest impact.
