Halifax, Nova Scotia Brand Strategy

Brand Strategy
Before Style.

Decide what you stand for, then design it. Positioning, audience, and messaging for companies in Halifax, across Nova Scotia, and beyond. Strategy is the cheapest part of a brand to change and the most expensive to get wrong, so it comes first.

What You Get

§01 / What's Included
01

Positioning

Who you're for, what only you do, and what you say no to.

02

Audience

The specific people you need to reach, and what they use today instead of you.

03

Messaging

The one sentence, the proof behind it, and how it changes for each audience.

04

Naming & Verbal Identity

Names, taglines, and the language a brand owns before anyone designs a thing.

05

Brand Character

A personality people can recognise. For TopLevel, that became The Protector.

06

The Brief

One page your designers, writers, and web team can all work from.

A logo made for the wrong audience gets made twice. Strategy is how you make it once.

Straight Answers

§04 / FAQ
What is brand strategy?+
Three decisions: who you're for, what you're the only one doing, and what you say no to. The name, the logo, the website, and the campaign are all built on those.
What do we get at the end?+
A short written strategy covering positioning, audience, messaging, and voice, clear enough that anyone making things for you can follow it.
Do we need strategy before a logo?+
Yes, even a light version. That is why our branding projects start with it.
Can you do the strategy without the design?+
Yes. Some clients take the strategy to their in-house team. We also run it as a workshop when you'd rather build the muscle in-house.
How do we start?+
Email us or hit Get Started. Tell us what you're making and what's standing in the way. We'll take it from there.
