Brand projects

Phases and process of a brand curation project.

Any brand building process requires to raise awareness of the brand’s reality. From this start point we can define a conscious identity represented by an image that matches with it. The brand is what resides in between of the desired image and the perceived image. Brand is summarized in a brand story and a set of graphic signs that somehow define the brand body.

THE BRAND IS WHAT RESIDES IN BETWEEN OF THE DESIRED IMAGE AND THE PERCEIVED IMAGE

A comprehensive brand curation project consists of four stages:

1. Brand story and brand culture

Exploration and analysis

Information compilation.

Let them tell about themselves.

It is the compilation of the history and stories of the company.
Entre otros, se usa el estudio de documentación existente, las entrevistas en profundidad, encuestas usuarios, observación de campo.
Se realizan entrevistas para recoger la documentación viva, tanto la percepción de los habitantes, como la de los diferentes públicos y actores externos.

Reality reconstruction

Rediscovery the self-value and the inspiring aspects.

The mirror.

The aim is to rediscover the self-value and the inspiring aspects.
We extract the best of what is visible and perceived, just as the painter does in a good portrait. This way we highlight the points that can be more valuable or that can provide more sense to the company. They will be tentative pillars and options for the core brand idea.
The inspiring features are unveiled and it will begin a stage of revealing connections, relations or links that provide sense.

Brand actors tree

People, organizations and landscapes are pointed out. Audiences are identified and portrayed.

Redefinition of the environment.

Sensitive environments: significant landscapes that connect or identify the brand.
Actors and leading roles: discovery of organizations, companies and characters that are meaningful for the brand.
Role assignment:  to draw the tree ordering landscapes, organizations and characters depending on the tentative expectations and promises of the brand.

Brand culture map.

Visual guide of brand components, flow and relations.

The pyramid.

It is a first structure of the elements that have been discovered. They are the result of an agreement after the analysis stage. The pyramid is based on the strategic lines determined in the initial stages of the project.
The core idea is settled and this will be supported by 2 or 3 essential pillars. The output is a hierarchical diagram.
The brand culture map presents the existing, discovered and taken over attributes. It establishes the relationship among them and the base that supports them.

Brand culture guide.

The story and description of the brand nature as the first differentiation argument.

The DNA.

It is the first conscious brand story.
The guide specifies the culture and the organic nature of it. What it promises, its DNA, how it feels, its sensitivity, its desires, the way the brand relates and links. It explains its possibilities and its texture.

2. Verbal and visual branding

Verbal identity

To find the exact words for the brand.

The words.

It is important to find the exact and definitive denominations. Once you find the words for the core idea and the main lines or main brand pillars we will have the descriptives, claims and taglines.
In this stage tone and messages are normalized according to the existing audiences and publics.

Visual identity design

To design the signs, define the tone and style of the graphic image and images.

The image.

    • Main signs design. Brand identifiers.
    • Images and illustration tone and style definition.
    • Formats and applications audit in every brand axis: communication, product-service, environment-space and behaviour.
    • Applications and formats design, system and normalization.

Brand architecture

To order and define the relations between the brands and sub-brands that represent us.

The building.

In this stage we organize the different brands and sub-brands that the company is managing (corporate, products or services).
The relationship between them is identified and they will be ordered in a logic structure. Brands managed by the company will be also positioned facing those brands that the company don’t manage but have an influence on the firsts. The aim is to identify opportunities, avoiding contradictions with the main core idea of the brand and establishing a model that optimizes resources and profitability.

3. Brand book and brand platform

Brandbook

The brand bible. The meaning guardian.

The bible.

It is a meaning guardian. It compiles and makes visible in an accessible way everything that has been defined, created and normalized. It contains the whole system that composes and represents our brand. It is the bible, an essential tool for watching out that everything that the company communicates matches the culture that the brand represents. The brandbook is the manual that guarantees that the image projected presents no contradictions with the brand story, and that the visual code defined in the manuals is also fulfilled.

Resources platform

Platform and on-line archive of tools and materials.

The tool kit.

The on-line platform contains all the manuals, systematization, catalogues and resources available for the brand managers and professionals involved in the brand use. This is necessary for a proper brand management when multiple users and actors are involved in the processes in order to keep coherence.
Such a platform will optimize time, resources and efficiency in the image and brand communication.

4. Implementation and follow up

Implementation and promotion

To present and make visible what has been built. To permeate and reach every actor.

Public presentation.

It is the moment to show what has been built:
    • Presentation to the community. The objective is to share the story with the close community that takes active part on the brand process. To permeate and make an imprint in those responsible for the management and brand communication. The result must be the adhesion to the proposed culture by every brand actor.
    • Formats and applications design and production.
    • Communication campaign and strategy. The purpose is to coordinate and normalize the messages depending on the audiences but always reflecting the core idea of the brand. Besides we must influence opinion leaders and influencers.
    • Singular events and actions created to provide content to the brand. Thanks to the creation or participation in certain actions it is possible to enrich the symbolic value of the brand and award it more visibility. The analysis of existing events and new proposals compared to our brand promise will determined the suitability of taking part in these events or the convenience of creating their own.

Brand resources platform

To look after the alive brand. Assess and measure impact and value.

The observatory.

Once implemented the brand it is time to evaluate and measure on a regular basis the impact and value of the brand. This will guide adjustments and updates necessaries to keep and improve the position of the brand.
To curate and watch the evolution, actions, new formats, relationships, etc. will be essential to secure the good health of an alive and responsive brand.

We provide insights, experience and perspective.

      • We work with the client in the first place to rethink its vision of the main concern.
      • We diagnose the immediate needs.
      • We establish the works to do.
      • We offer an alternative point of view of her brand connecting it with the market and its social and cultural context.

ESSENTIALLY BRANDS WIN PERSPECTIVE AND CULTURAL RELEVANCE, THEY GET THE MEANING THAT THEY NEED

Brand curation and internationalisation

Brand Curation is a field that accompanies in the brand culture management of a company. It brings concepts from the cultural and art management to the brand building processes.
We conceive internationalisation as a conscious cultural fact, as a process where listening to the other culture must precede and influence the foundations of the company’s identity.

Instagram post 2175491472959966521_4192024431 Experimentation with colors, materials and geometries in design drives sometimes to patterns able to find order in the chaos. Who has never  searched as a child for the logic, the beginning and the end in a print, at the tiles or floors of your grandparents home. The collection Àrta designed by Alfredo Häberli for Huguet Mallorca Tiles is an example of this. More at www.ohayotrendscuration.com
La experimentación con colores, materiales y geometrías en el diseño lleva en ocasiones a proponer patrones que encuentran un orden dentro del caos.

The result is more than contemporary, its is futuristic, liquid in is approach out of the common table standards. It is an inspiring object that sets a manifest about form, material and usage of a piece so present in our lives. It breaks lineality and plays with the sides of the table where we use to sit.

Mew podría saltar de repente, cual gato que inspira su nombre, o salir volando. En su resultado hay mucho de contemporáneo, más bien de futurista, de liquidez en su planteamiento nada encajonado en los estándares de una mesa común. Es un objeto inspirador que realiza un manifiesto sobre la forma, el material y el uso de un elemento tan presente en nuestras vidas. Rompe la linealidad y juega con esos lados de la mesa que solemos ocupar. Más en www.ohayotrendscuration.com
