OUR PROCESS

Your context is key, data insight helps.

Understanding the context of your brand is key to our creative process, and you are always at the center of this. We’ll ask you questions, a lot of questions. We’ll also do rigorous data research to understand your market space, your competitors, and how your audience is searching for what you have to offer.

WE TALK WITH YOU
Our process of understanding takes several forms. We take the time to listen and understand what matters to you, learning how your daily business unfolds within your world. Through our conversation with you and data research, We are outsiders who become insiders and our perspective is just right to uncover opportunity.

WE GATHER & INTERPRET DATA
We gather internet data, taking stock of your current position and prospects in the digital sphere. Observing this information provides us with key insights into your audiences and their desires and needs.

BRAND STRATEGY
Based on insights from our initial discovery, we develop a strategy to guide our creative work. Our goal is to create an expression that feels aesthetically authentic to you, and resonates with your audience, while also enhancing your search engine (Google) visibility.

SEO STRATEGY
An important part of our thinking is formed and driven by data insight. We use data tools to identify the words and phrases your audience is using to find the services or products you offer. It’s often the case that we find discrepancies between the vernacular you might use as an insider, with the plain spoken terms of your audience. This allows us to craft copy and content that both contains the language your audience is using, and also often to kindly introduce them to terms used within your industry.

BRAND DESIGN
Using color, typography, illustration, photography and compelling language, we create the core visual and written foundations for your brand.

WEB DESIGN
We bring your brand to life beautifully online, art directing photography, storyboarding videos, and creating graphic elements that stand out.

E-COMMERCE
We use Shopify to create e-commerce sites that guide users simply to shop your wares.

ANAYLTICS METRICS
We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to measure the impact of our work. By measuring the response to content we can see what’s working and continue to build out in those directions.

EMAIL CAMPAIGNS
We design emails worth opening that foster ongoing connections with customers.

CONTENT CREATION
We create search engine optimized blog content that answers the questions people are searching for directly and indirectly related to your business.
