Brand Strategy Agency

We go Beyond Expectation to create the most effective brands

CHS is an Integrated Creative Agency, specialising in Brand Strategy. Your brand is one of your most important assets, defining the who, what, why and how of your business or project. We help businesses build brands from scratch, rebrand and replatform, and take new products and ideas to market.

 

What is a brand strategy?

A brand is so much more than your visual identity or tone of voice. It’s the essence of how an organisation exists and acts – internally and externally.

Building a brand strategy is about taking what make makes an organisation special, and articulating your brand’s values, proposition, internal and external communications, tone of voice and purpose. A strong brand strategy builds a relationship with your audience – making a rational relationship more purposeful. 

That’s why we create culture-shaping brands that authentically engage with their customers.

Our approach to brand strategy

We take a strategic approach to building branding strategy which is based on insight across an market landscape, an organisation and an audience. 

And while every brand might be unique  – but the way you build them isn’t. By focusing on the foundational elements, we help organisations create brands which can evolve with them: 

Brand values – Defining the key principles and values which guide your brand, ensuring they resonate with your audience and detailing how you will emulate them.

Brand proposition – Why should your audience choose you over your competitors? Creating a strong brand proposition will be the difference between success and failure.

Brand architecture – If you’re managing multiple brands or sub-brands, we help to build the architecture and relationships between those brands.

Brand positioning – Position your brand appropriately within the market and reach your audience in the right places to increase your chances of dominating the competition.

Brand messaging – The way your brand speaks, sounds and communicates will impact how successfully your messaging reaches and resonates with your audience.

Objective setting – Without objectives, your brand strategy will lack focus. We help you to set realistic, attainable and beneficial objectives for your brand to achieve.

Brand roadmap – A brand isn’t built in a day. We help to build a long-term brand strategy, looking at where your brand is now and where it could be in 3, 5 or even 10 years time.

Brand design – From logos to colour palette and website design, we help to create a visual identity of your brand, ensuring it is both eye-catching and instantly recognisable.

Branding workshops – Let us take your team on a journey to get under the skin of your brand. We host strategic and exciting branding workshops that ensure everyone is on the same page.

Internal strategy – If the people working for your brand can’t understand the vision, no one will. We put together an internal branding strategy to communicate to your employees.

Go-to-market strategy – Reduce the risks involved with bringing a new product, service or brand to market. We create a go-to-market strategy which gives you total confidence.

Brand campaigns – Whether it’s a new brand, a brand refresh, merger or acquisition, we create branding campaigns that leave a long-lasting impression with your audience.
