Moments that call for strategy
Branding consultancy often makes sense when a business reaches a turning point and realizes its brand needs to move with it. A few situations come up regularly:
Scope
What Branding Consultancy defines
Each area answers a question whose answer currently lives only in the founder’s head:
Positioning
The place the brand wants to occupy in the market: who it competes with, who it serves best and why customers should choose it.
Value proposition
What makes customers choose the company, what value they recognize in its work and how to communicate it clearly so the whole team can present the business.
Personality and essence
The brand’s character: what it stands for, how it behaves and what it won’t accept.
Decision principles
Strategy put into practice: what the company prioritizes, which initiatives fit and what stays out.
The process
The stages of Branding Consultancy
-
Immersion
Conversations with the people who founded and run the business, alongside a review of what the company has already produced. We work to understand its logic, what’s already well defined and what still needs clarity.
-
Analysis
We study the market, competitors and customers to understand where the company can claim a distinct position that reflects what it actually delivers.
-
Development
This is where the brand strategy takes shape: positioning, value proposition, personality and the main principles that will guide communication. Everything is developed and validated with the leadership team.
-
Delivery and activation
A presentation of the complete strategy and a discussion of its application: what changes in communication, sales and decisions from this point forward.
What you receive
A Brand Book made to be used
Branding Consultancy delivers your company’s Brand Book: the reference document that guides communication, sales and business decisions. Written to be easy to consult in everyday work.
- Complete branding: positioning, value proposition, personality and decision principles
- Presentation: the strategy explained to your leadership team.
- Application guidance: where to start putting it into practice
- Format: digital document.
After delivery
A finished brand strategy is half the journey. The other half happens through implementation, activation and the decisions that follow. That’s where many carefully prepared documents end up forgotten. For those who want guidance through this stage, Branding Consultancy can continue through Brand Management Advisory.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about consultancy
What is branding consultancy?
It’s a project that defines a company’s brand foundation: positioning, value proposition, personality and the principles behind communication and decisions. The result is a reference document that guides how the company presents itself and chooses its direction.
How long does the project take?
The project takes at least six months.
That’s the time this depth of work requires. Market research, internal analysis and a thorough understanding of the business need room to develop. The exact timeline depends on the company’s size and the agreed scope, and is confirmed in the proposal before work begins.
Does branding include visual identity?
No. Branding is the process of building the brand: defining its positioning, identity and communication. That foundation then guides visual work. We also develop visual identities as a separate service, with the strategy serving as the brief.
What’s the difference between brand advisory and brand consultancy?
Consultancy is a project with a beginning, a middle and an end. It develops positioning, value proposition and narrative, delivering the brand’s strategic foundation. Advisory is the ongoing support that applies this foundation to the company’s real decisions, month after month.
Ideally, we start with consultancy and move into advisory once the strategy is in place. A clear foundation makes decisions more confident. We also know that some business owners want to see things happen from the start. In that case, we assess the brand and, if approved, run both services together, building the strategy as we put it into practice.
Does my team take part in the process?
Yes. It’s part of our approach. Immersion involves partners and key team members, and we validate the definitions with you. A strategy your team helps build is a strategy they’ll use.
Is consultancy available to businesses outside Florianópolis?
Yes. The project works well remotely, with online sessions, and Nozes works with businesses anywhere from its base in Florianópolis, Brazil. In-person meetings are included when they make sense for the scope.
