Creative Development

Make Your Brand Impossible To Ignore

As we begin the creative process, we sync up on the strategy and spend some time exploring insights from the intelligence phase. The creative team will brainstorm how competitor brands present themselves, pull benchmarks, and identify trends in the market, creative and tech landscape – all with the goal of finding some ownable space for the brand to compete, grow, and thrive.

Armed with this knowledge, we set about developing a visual design language through a series of creative explorations which eventually resolves into a unique look and feel for the company. That’s where the story begins to take shape.

Your New Visual & Verbal Exploration

We start with visual moodboards to inspire and explore where we believe the direction of the brand could go. Then we iterate ideas. We push pixels, pitch catch phrases, headlines, and campaign concepts. All the while working towards a living, breathing brand. The intelligence we gain from brand strategy helps us filter out the bad and graduate the good.

By the end of this exploration, you’ll see what we call Key Art Concepts – a series of mockups that showcase the new creative approach through photography, tone, layout design, fonts, and color palette. This will be refined and eventually make up your brand’s new visual design language and personality. For us, Key Art is, well… key. It’s the basis upon which we build all other assets, and the beginning of an actionable brand that’s ready to spread its wings.

Producing High-Impact Brand Creative

Asset Creation is where we enter campaign mode. Together, we’ll scope out all the assets needed to advance the brand efforts and focus on winning over hearts and minds. You’ll meet designers, writers, coders, photographers, videographers and bunch of other dreamers – all invested in helping your brand reach it's True North.

We come together with the guidance of the strategy, content, and account teams to translate your business goals into tight, meaningful, high-impact executions. A cycle of pre-production, production, and post-production ramps up, until you have a boatload of hard-working, engaging, on-message, on-brand assets that drive consumers down the purchasing funnel.
