EquiBrand’s Brand Consulting Expertise

Without patents, technological innovation or barriers to entry, a company’s brand — the relationship it has with its customers – is one of the few things a company can own forever. The strongest, most enduring brands result from disciplined alignment of brand strategies and plans with customer requirements.

Our brand strategy consultants have deep expertise across the full range of branding services, from strategic positioning, brand architecture and equity extension, through brand naming, identity development, brand management and execution.

We combine proven techniques (qualitative and quantitative brand research) with case studies, deep expertise and proprietary tools & frameworks to help clients create distinctive brands and brand architectures. We focus in six primary areas:

Brand Positioning

Brand positioning defines the conceptual space the brand should play relative to competitors, and is fundamental to marketing, communication and messaging development.
