Now, what is brand strategy exactly?

The world of brand strat can be a very wild west. Across clients, categories, and communities, we’ve seen definitions and ways of working vary (widely) which is why we’ve distilled our perspective and approach into two foundational questions:

  1. What does brand strategy mean to P+S?

    “Brand strategy” is the toolkit for how a brand positions itself in a market, differentiating itself from competitors by providing a unique value to its customers.

    Translation: A guide for resonating with customers in a way no one else can. P+S builds strategies from insights drawn out of stakeholder and customer interviews, surveys, competitive and cultural research, and white space opportunities.

  2. What does a brand strategy outcome look like?

    We collect all elements of how to bring your brand to market in a brand playbook. However, brand strategy can feel really intangible at times. To combat this, we try to put an IRL lens on it.

    Whether that’s a low-fi homepage wireframe to demonstrate information hierarchy or mocking up ads to demonstrate how a strategy is distilled into ad messaging, we lightly dabble into the next phase of work to bring brand strategy to life in tangible ways.
