Brand strategy and architecture.

We parlay the vision and heart behind organizations into smart, skillfully crafted strategy and real business results like talent optimization, product development, brand equity, and growth.

We meet clients where they are and together design a path forward. Our work is based on experience, empathy, taste, tenacity, and vision. And we believe intention should be present in everything we do.

Our name, which means “industrious” and “striving”, also honors our founder’s grandmother. 

Our core services are focused in three areas.

Data is a key instrument in our work; but we believe brand is a symphony, not a science. And harmony requires depth and meaning. We build personal and consumer brands through services including brand discovery, positioning, strategy, and development.

Brand

We pride ourselves on uncovering and pulling forward your most meaningful messages for your most important audiences. Beyond the vast and evolving media space, we offer expertise in issue management, image coaching, and partnerships.

Communications

80% of consumers’ considerations behind brand preference are emotional, not rational - and emotions are not one dimensional. We help translate your story into an image and experience, precisely aligned with your brand and your business goals.

Design

We also partner with clients to help reinforce or develop their internal resources.

For many organizations, vision and talent are alive and well, but aren’t translating into desired outcomes or supporting greater brand or business objectives. More often than not, this is not due to a lack of awareness - rather, it is a matter of bandwidth or bailiwick. We lend perspective, structure, mentorship, and support to internal teams - helping them to expand beyond their norms and feel confident in taking steps to achieve desired change. Learn more.
