FAQs
Questions worth asking before you start
What is included in brand strategy?
The scope depends on the decision. It may include audience and market understanding, positioning, proposition, brand principles, architecture, messaging direction and practical guidance.
Who is brand strategy for?
It is useful for organisations entering a new phase, serving a changing audience or finding that the current brand no longer helps people choose.
Do you provide research?
Where it is appropriate and included in the agreed scope, Firebrand can support audience, competitor and organisational research.
Will the strategy include a new visual identity?
Not always. We define the strategic job first, then recommend the brand, identity or messaging work the organisation actually needs.
