Communications

Think before you speak. Before the first graphic is drawn or the first line of code written you must define your message. Message precedes everything because it is the foundation of your strategy. It defines the value proposition and identifies products and audience. Message is the first conversation we have with all our clients.

Branding

Make your mark. Your brand is the sum of all your parts though it can often be reduced to a couple of words by those that know you.

When you think of Apple Computers what words come to mind? Clean, beautiful, simple? How about Sony? Companies with powerful, successful brands work very hard to make sure that the right words come to mind when you see their products. In the world of branding, either you actively manage your image or it will be managed for you. Your brand is a lot more than your logo (though we do those too). Let us help you shape your message.
