The Four Stages of #Unpacking for Brand Growth
Mapping
After a deep analysis of the brand and category, we map essential need-states to formulate key entry points and strategies.
Exploration
Explore and affirm the needs associated with each entry point and uncover pertinent symbols.
Creation
Design the brand identity around symbols that directly tap into the needs with the greatest impact on purchasing behavior.
Adaptation
Implement the new symbology across all communication platforms, from the brand manual to above-the-line marketing efforts.
