We are branding and marketing specialists with a passion to solve problems, enhance brands and improve profitability. National and regional clients seek us out during periods of change when they have a need for new positioning, a new brand, a brand refresh, new consumer insights, a new marketing initiative or just a new way of looking at things. We have deep experience in healthcare, hospitality, non-profit, retail, B2B and all things women.

Work

Here are some of the outstanding brands we are privileged to assist.

Services

Brand Wise uses a combination of consumer insights, research, proprietary brand planning, marketing and advertising to add meaning to brands. We spend much of our time with brands that engage women. Women are the ultimate consumer with 85% of all brand purchases. Even B2B brands are becoming more cognizant of workplace gender, now that 50% of the workforce is composed of women.

Research
This.

Research is home base.  It’s where we like to start.  We conduct our own qualitative, quantitative, one-on-ones, in-store observations, usability tests and more to get at what brand fans want.

The Brand Story.

We are famous for our brand workshops where we drink strong coffee, eat Post-It notes and serve up our version of brand profiles, affectionately called fried eggs.  Workshops are a time for discovery, consumer insights, inspiration and distillation of message.  They help provide insight for strategic plans.

The Culture of Creative.

Big beautiful brand identities, attention grabbing campaigns, and persuasive content are all part of living a culture of impactful creative.  It all starts with an idea, just one great big idea.

Brand
Power.

Reaching your brand fans takes rocket fuel plans, smart media, and seismographic measurement tools. We use skywriters, pump toppers, ice cream socials, pop-up events, retail displays, maps, road signs, billboards, navigation tools, websites, newsletters, online media, video and more to reach consumers.  Boom!

Brand Engagement Workshops start with tons of Post-It notes and end with a beautiful Brand Strategy.
