What we believe
Focus is key. Choice is a blessing. Innovation implies continuity. Diversity is strength. The contemporary is the untimely. Apathy enables tyranny. We are state. And you're going to be fine.
A brand is the expression of an organization's identity. It affects the perception of and the identification with the organization. There is no outside without the inside.
Successful self-representation requires profound self-conception.
Brands are kaleidoscopic: their perception oscillates between different mosaics. The interplay of these viewpoints creates the unity of the brand.
Brands are strengthened through diversity.
Brand communication and strategic management are changing. Business intelligence is increasingly commodified, big consultancies hover up digital studios and marketing tasks are moving in-house.
Brands become an interface for strategy and design.
