Brand core

The brand core transforms a company from an abstract system into a real person with its own character, principles and views.

A brand core is the starting point for the development of a company as a brand, from which its appearance, communication style and promotion will be formed.

It defines the ideological attributes of the brand. Its goal is to fill the company with meanings, emotions and rational advantages. It allows you to use resources efficiently and build transparent communication both with the outside world and within the brand.

Brand core helps to:
  • stand out from competitors
  • form an image
  • win customer loyalty
  • increase market share
  • expand the product line
  • identify brand values
  • create brand architecture
  • create a clear brand positioning
  • create added value for your product

Why should you order a brand core?

We use a research approach, studying the hidden motives of the audience, and work out in detail each stage of creation and implementation.

Features of our approach are in-depth analysis and creative thinking. Thanks to them, we unite the brand and its audience into a single organism.

Project examples

We have developed a brand core for the East European Institute of Psychoanalysis. We used the Mage archetype and the idea of highlighting the main thing from the general flow of information (as happens during a session with a psychotherapist). This supported the general principles of the institute's work.
