Before discussing Brand Creation lets Define a
Brand ?

It’s Aspirational
Makes our heart
beat faster
Something that
engages us !!
Lights a fire Fulfills a Promise

Cuts Across Generations

If organizational memory is not tamed, it gets in the way of
creation. Before you can create, you must forget

The World We Live In

First Thing To Understand
17
Branding is the Intersection of Creativity & Commerce
18
And If you are going to launch a Brand
Selectively
forget the past

Manage the
present

And create the
future	 

But most of all
…
Make it Hot
19
How do we do it ? How do we build a brand today?
By living a process 

By knowing the competitive landscape

By identifying the market opportunity

By targeting a niche

By building the right product

With the unique brand sensibility 

With a clear target demographic 

For the right retail partner

At the sharpest margins

With brilliant marketing

With a focused sales strategy

And all within a budget
20
KOLLECTIVE.MODA / BRAND CREATION 4 THE NEXT GENERATION
We must impact
our business
with ideas that
generate results
and engage
consumers to
ultimately drive
sales. Hence, for
everything we
do, we must
apply both right
and left brain
methodology to
result in creative
solutions for
complicated
challenges.

The Process
If we can do one thing, it’s to demystify the creative process, enabling
entrepreneurs to clearly understand their vision and pursue it with the knowledge
necessary for success.
23
KOLLECTIVE.MODA / BRAND CREATION 4 THE NEXT GENERATION
It is to help create
an environment
where design,
marketing,
finance, sales,
and production
speak the same
language and
work in synergy
towards a single
over arching goal.
24
KOLLECTIVE.MODA / BRAND CREATION 4 THE NEXT GENERATION
Our Lab was created to nurture the next generation of creative entrepreneurs. An
eco system that disrupts, doesn’t play by the rules, and does what every it takes to
help start-ups succeed.

KOLLECTIVE.MODA / BRAND CREATION 4 THE NEXT GENERATION
You need the Wolf !! Some one to lead in
an efficient, positive, and productive
manner and generate quick and accurate
results. Taking your business to the next
level based on it’s historical successes
has everything to do with strategic
planning and continued brand
management.

The key to facilitating this growth is having
a tiered approach that focuses on
retaining product integrity, maintaining
profitability, and controlling distribution. 

Use market research, trend forecasting,
and retail analysis to develop cohesive
business strategies. Seek out synergies
within the company and guide the team to
work towards a singular vision.

We Can Never Stop Learning
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and
looks like work.” -Thomas Edison (1847-1931)
27
KOLLECTIVE.MODA / BRAND CREATION 4 THE NEXT GENERATION
We have to believe 

Change is irresistible

A focused strategy unleashes creativity

Reach and the bottom line will rise with you

Whatever is conceivable is possible

Entrepreneurs are rewarded

Attitude is everything

Take the risk

The Future
All of us are at the beginning
of a new wave of business
innovation, one that will be
triggered by companies who
seize the opportunity not just
as a tool for managing
businesses, but rather as a
means of imagining
business. 

Those companies that can
envision and sustain a new
level of business integration
- from business model to
operations to customer
relationship - will be the
leaders in the new economy.
