What does a rebrand with Guts look like?

Our David beats Goliath package gives you the confidence to go bold.
And our ego-free approach actually makes the process enjoyable, no really!

1. Market Research and Insights

First up we find the problem to solve so you’re not wasting your marketing budget on chasing the wrong people with the wrong message in all the wrong places.

We develop hypotheses to test and use the perfect mix of quantitative and qualitative research to give you killer ‘light-bulb moment’ insights. We give you evidence, data and a clear business case for how to beat the big guys at their own game.

What we deliver: insights that have all your stakeholders nodding and an intro to the human that is your customer.

How do you do it?

2. Brand Strategy & Positioning

Do you know what makes you different? You can’t afford not to. Don’t waste marketing budget on being boring, bland and beige.

To find the holy grail for your strategy we’re obsessed with three things:
Authentic: we take an inside out approach, starting with strategic workshops to understand your organisations’ DNA.
Relevant: we combine insights from customers, prospects, staff and stakeholders to find the one thing they want.
Unique: we do a category analysis to find the white space you can own.

Then we build audience personas that make your customer so real they become your bestie. We articulate your purpose, vision and values so they drive every decision.
Your strategy and messaging connects emotionally and increases your margin because people will pay more for a brand they care about.
Smart strategy builds loyalty, drives ROI, and makes you the hero of your category.

What we deliver: strategy and messaging so sharp it hurts and a growth roadmap for the next 10 years

Is it worth it?

3. Brand Identity

We’ve built the foundation, now the fun bit!
Time to make the intangible beautiful, and the first rule is, don’t be boring!
The best part, because you’ve done your homework and have stakeholders in the palm of your hand, your new brand is less about their favourite colour and more of a strategic ‘of course!’ moment.
Our brand game makes it fun, teasing out the ‘why’ and creating buy-in and ownership with stakeholders.
Forget endless creative iterations, the look and feel is guided by a clear strategic direction and the brand personality (summed up in 3 words).
We lean on brand heroes, best practice examples and competitor analysis to make sure your new logo and visual identity turns you into a market leader.
Every colour, font, and visual cue reflects what you stand for: unique, authentic, and impossible to ignore.

Why do it properly?

4. Launch Campaign

No pressure guys but this part is make or break. How you launch the brand internally and externally will determine whether your ROI will make your CEO rant or rejoice. The good news? By now you have such a clear business case on why you’ve re-branded, how it connects with your customers and what staff want, there’s no spin required. Our brand challenge workshops bring everyone in your organisation along for the ride. It helps them walk the talk which is what actually drives results. Plus you become a brand coach, not the brand police. The key is launching with not just the evidence but making a bold splash that’s on strategy and will blow your competitors out of the water.
