Building Brands
ENGAGING PEOPLE
CREATING VALUE
RESEARCH, STRATEGY & PLANNING
Employee, customer and stakeholder research and workshops for brand, employer brand and responsible business, strategic marketing, value propositions, communications and experiences.
People and brands are your organisation’s most valuable assets.
Yet in many organisations their value is not realised due to lack of understanding and alignment between: the organisation’s and people’s purpose and values; business, brand and employer brand strategies; operational silos; and between the promise the organisation is making to its employees, customers and stakeholders through its communications and their actual experiences.
We unlock value by engaging customers, employees and stakeholders to identify a distinctive, meaningful purpose, values and positioning. Involving people throughout the process, we build and align corporate, customer and employer brands and value propositions, and integrate all communications and experiences. This ensures your brand connects with and consistently delivers against its promise to your customers, employees and stakeholders.
We work closely with your team to build, align and integrate objectives, strategies and planned activities, informed and inspired by primary and secondary, quantitative and qualitative research and workshops. Through the process we connect people and brands to business strategy and the quadruple bottom line to create business, brand and stakeholder value.
With over 28 years’ experience to apply to your business challenge, we share our insight and energy to help you build, change and grow.
Sumo has been on a journey of change and transformation, and getting clear on our brand purpose, our values, and our customer segments was essential to provide the foundations to rebuild. With Rachel’s input, guidance and support, we were able to build a brand platform and detailed customer segmentation that has enabled us to: innovate and stretch the brand into the grocery channel through the launch of the new Sumo Well range of nourish bowls; revitalise the company culture and employee experience and align the front-line customer and employee experience.
