Its the key to being an energized brand. That's why we're here.

We’re here to help you unlock and unleash and leverage your brand's energy to realize exceptional results. We get at the heart of your brand through a unique process of research, strategy, identity, expression, and alignment.

It’s an authentic story that drives genuine, invaluable relationships between you and your customer.

Brand Research

This is where it all begins. From the moment you contact us, we're bringing our A-game, gathering information in every sense of the term on you, your brand, your customer, your competition, your industry, the historicity of your industry's trademarks, and the list continues on and on.

Each of the components here identify where your brand is at, providing you an understanding of your landscape, and how help you address each opportunity in the most informed way.

VISUALIZING THE LANDSCAPE
Brand Audit

You can't plan for the future without a road map, nor knowing where you stand today.
Our Brand Audit provides a clear, honest, and thorough examinationof your brand.
We begin by getting to know you, your stakeholders, and your audience by conductinginterviews designed to gather perceptions, motivations and needs.This phase helps you determine your position in the market, as well as your strengths, weaknesses, inconsistencies and opportunities.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Brand Brief

The result of this collaborative process is the Brand Brief, a foundational document that succinctly articulates who you are and why you exist. It’s centered on the Big Idea, a densely packed yet scalpel-precise statement that encompasses everything your brand represents. These elements are finally woven into the Brand Narrative, a story rich with imagery and texture that inspires people to feel intimately connected and ultimately moved by your brand.

Brand Strategy

The nucleus of every energized brand is strategy. Strategy is the core that holds your brand together, connecting the Big Idea—why you exist beyond making a profit—with those who matter most to you. The essence of how your brand functions starts here in a deep dive of who you are, what you do, why it matters, before one thing ever gets designed.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Architecture

Whether its an internal, external, product suites, or separate portfolios of products, we help clients navigate making sense of brand architecture for their brand, ensuring that relationships, hierarchy, endorsement, association, naming conventions, visual and verbal attributes and nomenclature reflect the core strategy behind their goals.

UNLOCKING THE STRATEGY
Brand Positioning

The next step is the Brand Positioning phase. Here, we identify what boldly differentiates your brand in the minds of your customers. Our proprietary positioning workshops identify multiple dimensions of brand personality, unlocking and potentiating brand meaning.

They include hands-on, collaborative exercises that define your core attributes. What makes Quantum Branding unique is that we draw on proven scientific branding principles from the fields of behavioral psychology, sociology and mythology to illuminate a unified brand portrait.

Brand Identity

Brands Identities help consumers choose from a bewildering array of choices by communicating intrinsic qualities of the branding, reassuring that they have made the right choice. We create brand identities with Distinct Brand Assets (DBA)—distinct imagery, language, and associations—to encourage customers to identify with the brand, create prevalence and foster distinctiveness.

Discovering Your Brand Mass

Only when you know fully understand a brand, can you effectively communicate visually and verbally. Therefore, an authentic and memorable brand identity is research-driven and strategy-based.

The findings of the Brand Audit readout and the core traits in your Brand Brief—archetype, personality, positioning, and distinctiveness—are leveraged together visually to create your brand's aesthetic core. We develop your brand's DBA—Distinct Brand Assets—into a visual system, called your Brand Identity.
