Brand Development
Building value in your brand.
Business leaders are questioning everything these days: What is our distinction in the market? Do our employees understand what makes us different and where we’re going? How clear is our marketing message? Main Ideas can help you find the answers.
Define your distinction
Brand leaders in any category start by identifying the one thing that sets them apart from everyone else, then they build a business around it. Aligning the brand and business strategies in this way gets the entire organization – from product development to customer service, and marketing to sales – behind the same set of priorities. At Main Ideas, we employ a brand discovery process called “Turning the Telescope TM ” where we dig deep and uncover a company’s strategic distinction. When we facilitate a session, we recruit the CEO, VP of marketing, sales and operations. It’s a process of distilling information, starting with the facts and whittling it down to absolute unique selling points. The outcome is a new strategic brand identity – a crystal clear and memorable brand positioning and spot-in internal and external brand communications
