We look at the
brand
significantly
different as at the
product or
service, although
we take off from
it. Here are the
indicators, that
we will identify
and test while
preparing a
strategic brand
solution.
OUR APPROACH TO BRANDS

BRAND
• How do target groups see the
brand now?
• How does startup define its
visions, targets, values?

groups see the brand in the
future?

identity gain, for which activity
and using what?
• Where are the “touchpoints”?
