The Brand Ignition Blueprint

Turn your expertise into market leadership.

The Blueprint is how we approach every project. It covers the whole brand in a set order, so nothing important is left to chance. Simple and strong, with no confusing jargon.

The Blueprint

Four pillars, in a set order.

A clear brand rests on four decisions. We work through them in order, and the steps of our INSPIRE method settle each one. Each pillar has a short exercise you can try yourself.

Pillar 1

Audience

Know exactly who you serve and what troubles them.

  • IInvestigate: research your clients, competitors and market

Make it clear why a client should choose you.

  • NNurture: audit your brand and define its values and personality
  • SStrategise: set your position, value proposition and brand promise
