Brand Strategy Services
An emotionally inspired yet, clearheaded brand strategy is essential to your success. This brand strategy informs everything you do in creating or updating a brand that your customers will seek out, engage and commit to.
That brand strategy includes your Leading Edge Brand Plan, which contains straightforward, actionable recommendations and clearly defined creative tactics, timelines, and budgets. It’s your blueprint to building and growing your brand community.
At Blade, we use a proprietary approach to develop and implement brand strategies. They include:

Blade conducts a thorough review of your current brand including all market-facing materials and tactics. From iconography to packaging, from website performance to content strategy, we develop a full understanding of your brand. We also review any market or customer data you can share with us.

We use both direct and stealth methods to evaluate your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses.

Communication Strategy
Knowing what to say, who to say it to, and when and where to say it are the key deliverables of Blade’s communications strategy approach.
