Proposal Brand Strategy + Design

you can make in your business”
- Steve Forbes

4. Hello,
It was great interacting with you and learning about the brand goals and
challenges. We prepare a comprehensive proposal, document with all
details, your need to address and grow the the brand. This proposal
should give you an overview of our approach to the branding exercise.

5. Primary Research
(Interview In Person / Online)
Primary research helps in gathering information
which is more accurate and timely since it is
collected from the customers directly, it helps us
to arrive at some key decisions regarding the
company and at the same time helps us to
understand the perception of the company in
the mind of its customers.
Ex: Lego did a survey involving 3500 girls and
their mom to understand children’s playing
habits resulting in them launching a new toylike
“Friends” encouraging girls to play with their
toys. They also used this data to determine the
bright colours of the packaging and figurines.
Secondary Research
(Category Analysis and Synthesis)
It is the process of collation of existing research,
this data is then contrasted with the primary
research and used to then come to a conclusion
which helps us to get a clarity on a lot of aspect
of the brand. Category analysis is the process of
collecting synthesising the unstructured and raw
data for further examination.
