Creative Brief

How to structure your brand and reveal its core with a brand
workshop. 

Brands are not created in a quiet room. With a brand workshop, we create clarity about USPs, target groups, tonality, emotional values, and design. The result: A Creative Brief that serves as a strategic foundation for all further steps – from naming to communication.

Brand Workshop: Kickoff for Clarity

In the brand workshop, we analyze all brand-relevant facts together with the central decision-makers: USPs, target groups, market environment, soft facts such as philosophy and emotional added values – and the relevant communication channels. The exchange between marketing, sales and product development brings together perspectives that sharpen the brand from within.

Whether start-ups, public institutions or established brands – our workshop brings the important questions to the table. Clearly structured and with tangible results that can be used directly.

The Creative Brief makes brands tangible – for employees, partners and everyone who carries the brand forward.

From Workshop to Creative Brief

We document the results of the workshop in a compact Creative Brief. This summarizes all relevant content: from product promises to target groups to tonality. This results in an internal brand manual that serves as the basis for Corporate Design, communication and naming – internally and externally. If required, we can also present the new brand strategy to the entire team.

In 4 Steps to the Creative Brief

A clear process ensures that all content is thoroughly developed and comprehensibly documented. This results in a briefing document that serves as a guideline for all measures – from design to communication.

Our Mission – Full Thinking

We believe that brands only work if they are well thought out and clearly structured from the start. A brand needs substance before it becomes visible – whether in naming, design or communication.

FaQ

A compact brand manual that describes goals, target groups, tonality, design and channels. 

Founders, managing directors and representatives from product, marketing and sales – the more diverse the perspectives, the more sustainable the result. 

The workshop itself usually takes one day. In advance, we coordinate content, followed by structured follow-up – with room for a clarifying follow-up discussion.

Before the design, in naming, in internal presentations or when working with service providers.

It creates clarity, saves time in coordination processes and ensures that all measures contribute to a common goal – internally and externally. 

“The adult education centers in NRW see themselves as open and close to life, as places where people meet with interest to learn with and from each other, to gain new insights together and to develop ideas. The state association of adult education centers of NRW has also found this spirit in its cooperation with the R211 agency: a vital and productive exchange in a joint process with convincing results.”
