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 corporate brand strategy 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 formed the basis of the concept and supported the general principles of the institute's work.
