All brands have an intention and a purpose. Your intention changes and evolves as goals do. Your purpose remains steadfast.

Lucky for you, we care about both. Let’s talk action.

Truth One

The end product matters, but so does the process.

Truth Four

Design is an act of empathy. Without it, we're left to wander blindly, blunder about and pray we don't stumble off a cliff.

Truth Two

There's a reason our brain is above our gut. We challenge our own knee-jerk reactions. We hope you do too.

Truth Three

Disrupt the industry, not the end user's experience.

The six D's of Design

We often adapt our process to fit the project at hand, however we always abide by these six essential steps for success.

01
Distill

Immersing ourselves in your brand is the first step in the process. We’ll work to understand the industry, your end user, the competitive landscape and where your brand fits into the larger puzzle. Then we’ll take all the information we’ve acquired and drill down to what matters most - identify the challenges.

02
Discover

Informed by our research, we’ll set off on a brand exploration. We encourage our clients to get vulnerable and have empathy during this stage. Together, we’ll take a good hard look in the mirror and really hone in on what makes your business tick.

03
Define

What’s the objective? More than that, what’s the point? Here we’ll identify promising insights, define a brand strategy and set brand intentions that will fuel the rest of the creative process.

04
Design

Now we’re getting to the good part. Design transcends shapes, color, flair and pizzazz. It's the process in which we realize an idea solves a problem—where the idea comes to life in a tangible form.

05
Deliver

Finally, all our hard work and collaboration is let loose in the real world. This calls for some celebratory high fives all around, and probably at least a few *clinks* of glasses.

06
Discover

The cycle of observation, learning and adapting should never end. Because we believe in an iterative approach to design, the learning continues and so should the improvements.

Let's Talk Lingo
End User

Your target audience can be a customer, consumer, client, advocate, fan, follower... regardless of what you call them, they should do more than observe. We want them to be an active participant.

Empathy

All marketers must embrace empathy - the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. This means setting aside what we think we know to uncover new truths through the eyes of the end-user. What challenges do they face? How can we improve their experience?

Design

Design thinking solves real problems by objectively examining a challenge through observation and iterative ideation. We believe design is more than an aesthetic exercise; it's strategically improving an end-user's experience.
