Mission

Corporate Missions often sound meaningless, replaceable and boring – therefore we keep ours concrete and in line with who we are and what we do. It is about

  • enabling tech-centered and startup brands with a unique, authentic positioning,

  • guiding them to performance and appropriate corporate structures and

  • supporting them in execution of performance-driven activities.

Our mission is accomplished by a quite simple core idea: We build your brand leadership rocket.

In doing so, we consider that a leadership position is derived from an interplay of different brand-related elements. We act like an internal, specialized department that supports the required development very efficiently due to its know-how and experience.

What

We start with the general evaluation of your brand – and quickly as well as pragmatically go step by step. From brand positioning to it’s experience and evolution roadmap in order to get to management and monetization.

On the basis of this strategic foundation, appropriate activities as well as performance management can be implemented in order to accomplish sustainable brand leadership.

5 modules

You can go step by step or cherry-pick what’s needed most.

1 EVALUATION

 

EVALUATE WHERE YOUR BRAND STANDS

A genuine, content-based differentiation and finally positioning for the brand is crucial. Secondly, the customer experience, which is to transform the developed differentiation and positioning into the customers' tangible reality is vital and represents the mission-critical moments of truth. Finally, the marketing performance, which aims to materialize a differentiating and experiential positioning shows your brand’s strength in the form of clear data.

We are ready to evaluate when you are.

2 POSITIONING

 

ELABORATE WHERE YOUR BRAND SHALL STAND

Experience shows that finding the appropriate targeted positioning is the most delicate phase. Because from here on, the predefined strategies have to be transferred into the real, necessary activities in the areas of the business model, the organization and the corporate culture. This phase is equal to working at the core of the brand. Changing one’s viewpoint and taking the users’ perspective is as important as taking a realistic view on the competitors’ landscape.

We are there for you to take advantage of this important perspective change.

3 EVOLUTION

 

ELABORATE HOW YOUR BRAND SHALL DEVELOP

A brand-centric evolution must not only be translated into measures, but also into an adequate process structure and organization as well as a brand-driven culture. The transformation is to be understood as a process that should be an integral part of the business.

Defining this evolution along the customer journey guarantees having an eye on user needs and is one of our core capabilities.

4 EXPERIENCE

 

DERIVE THE THE OPTIMIZED EXPERIENCE ALONG THE WHOLE CUSTOMER JOURNEY

If you take a closer look on the concept of customer journey, you realize that it’s somehow formed by the core elements of the brand & marketing strategy. And that’s why experience design is the complete contrary from “nice-to-have”. It’s essential.

We have already designed countless journeys and experiences – if you’re striving for wowing your users, we’d probably be a good fit.

5 MANAGEMENT & MONETIZATION

 

IDENTIFY YOUR KPIs AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE

Within the management phase, the completed tour de force is to be transferred into a self-image that is lived on a daily basis. For effective KPI tracking, it is necessary to create the appropriate operational framework and to align the processes to it as far as necessary. This is so important because the measurement of success and subsequent agile action should form a new work flow in the company and drive success and growth ambitions.

In order to establish this in the company in a sustainable manner, an organizational and cultural evolution is part of the success of the implementation.

We are experienced in this area and are able to effectively enable this delicate and at the same time important process.

We have already enabled more than 100 brands on their ways to market success.
