Brand Specialists & Branding Experts

Every brand has a compelling story to tell but many businesses still focus on ‘what’ they do, but we all know by now that the value lives in ‘why’. Grey Coffee believe brand thinking is crucial to build significant competitive advantage and when implemented successfully is the catalyst for business growth and customer engagement.

Our branding expertise spans from helping businesses to define their brand and understand how to consistently communicate your brand across all customer touch points (including all marketing strategies, social media, digital marketing).

Grey Coffee will help you to understand the gap that exists between your business and customers. Building a cohesive brand will help you to reduce that gap and ensure your brand communication and identity is not diluted due to inconsistent implementation.

Working with a branding specialist will help you to shape a winning brand strategy, maintain relationships you build with your customers and gain the visual and verbal brand clarity you need to unlock your full brand potential.

    What makes a good brand agency?

    A good creative agency (like any business) should be well presented. It’s true what they say that first impressions leave a lasting impact so the initial experience you have when interacting with a creative team should be professional, meaningful and memorable. A good agency will be able to display a good understanding of the challenges you face and have demonstrable experience (client examples, project case studies, testimonials) in delivering projects of a similar nature. They should have good communication skills and be able to easily explain their process and ideas with clarity.

In many cases they become a guardian of your brand and can almost act as a brand manager!  A brand specialist will help businesses to grow a successful brand. A brand specialist will work closely with company founders, the marketing team and executive team to understand the challenges a business is facing in regards to the brand. Commonly these challenges can be with brand positioning, differentiation and communication. In any case a brand specialist will work through these challenges and help businesses find the clarity they need to communicate their brand effectively.
