When we bring a client through a discovery process we learn something of great value. It’s much easier to deliver what they need when we understand them completely. Sure, it seems obvious now, but we didn’t always do this. Today we won’t do without it. Through discovery and research, we design logos, websites, and databases with confidence because we build them on solid ground.
What we will work on together
Discovery is never the same. Your discovery process will match your needs. If you’d like to rebrand your business, we’ll need to create a brand strategy for creative work to follow. We want to look at what you’re offering and what your customers are looking for. The agenda is specific to each client. We've put together a couple of case studies to help illustrate the results of this process.
When you ask a website design company to redesign your website, or a graphic designer to create your logo, how will they deliver something of value? Without having a meaningful conversation first, what will they deliver?
What if there was a process of asking questions and applying the answers? When you work with us, we ask that you start with discovery. The result is the value you hoped for. Expect us to ask prying questions and listen to your answers. If you like what your reading, give us a call. We look forward to working with clients who invest in their business.

For branding to be successful it should come from a place of meaning - it should come from you. This is why we recommend brand strategy. Developing your brand will involve a deep discovery process that is specific to knowing your organization.
The outcome of brand strategy is a roadmap for creative work to follow. It is derived from our strategy sessions and our research, and it will set the tone for all brand materials, both inside and outside your company.
Brand strategy is a series of meetings with stakeholders, each one facilitated and purposeful. We uncover insights about your business and the value you offer. We identify who your customers are, and understand the position of your company in the community. We do our own research and deliver a roadmap - the clear path to creative work.
In this session, we aim to identify the foundation of the company. What do you want, how do you see yourself, and why is it important to you? We want to hear from everyone who wants to see the business succeed.
We find the words, images, and ways to describe the brand as clearly as if it were a person we could talk to. We want to know the brand values, the culture around it, what it feels is important, how the brand looks, acts, and talks.
Here we’ll define the different types of people you want to attract. We want to know where to find them, how to talk to them, the problems they are facing, and the reasons why they choose you. We’ll research your audience’s needs and review our findings.
We’ll discuss how you perceive the brand and how the community perceives it. We will research other cultural institutions in the Berkshires and in the country, and discover ways to bridge the gap between the brand and the customer.
