Brand Action Group.

In 2011, Creative Leap co-founded the Brand Action Group, an ROI focused integrated marketing service group. We offer an open-minded and joined up approach across the entire brand mix.

Brand Action Group. An eclectic bunch of lateral thinkers who come up with innovative, strategic and creative ideas which work on every level.

 

What we do.

At Creative Leap we seamlessly blend the magic and logic of marketing, to turn strategy into action and get ideas to market by applying the following capabilities:

Insight.

- Stakeholder consultation
- Consumer consultation & research
- Co-creation programs
- Needs and drivers mapping
- Decision & purchase process mapping

Uncovering insights that inspire and deliver value is not always straightforward. To truly be of value, insights must be relevant to the needs of your brand and your business.

As a brand consultancy, we think differently about insight. We adopt a broad approach, looking both inside out as well as outside in. This means we look to your business and your partners as well as your customers.

By looking at the business, the brand and the consumer as a whole, we interrogate and challenge the status quo to uncover genuinely powerful insights that are capable of growing or enhancing brand equity to address the commercial agenda.

Above all we pride ourselves on ensuring that our insights are actionable and fit with your overall brand and commercial strategy, even when they do challenge current or planned organizational capabilities.

Strategy.

- Propositions development & brand positioning
- New brand creation & brand extension
- Innovation – NPD & service development
- Brand architecture & portfolio strategy
- Naming and messaging

We endeavour to see the bigger business picture – working with our clients to identify their brand heritage, equity, vision & values, commercial imperatives and strategic intent.

Too many businesses practice what we call ‘paper innovation’ – strategies that result in little more than a nicely produced report outlining an exciting world of possibilities.

Creative Leap fosters its executional capabilities – we are not just about the high level strategy but about its implementation.




Identity.

- Corporate identity
- Product & service brand identity
- Brand books and brand guidelines
- Digital asset management
- Brand engagement & internal communications

A brand is so much more than just logotype, packaging or graphic guidelines. Beyond the physical elements a strong brand identity should communicate the purpose, values, personality and benefits of the product or service it represents.

Like people, brands are capable of creating deep and meaningful relationships and they are judged by how they look, what they say and what they do.

Consumers experience a brand in many ways, so maintaining a coherent visual, verbal and behavioural identity is important if a brand is to achieve its full potential.

We work in teams, combining insight, strategy, design and production disciplines to ensure that the brand identities we help create and articulate always connect with their audiences to reinforce a core promise and build a positive and powerful image.

Design.

- Packaging graphics & structural design
- Literature and collateral design
- Digital applications design and build
- Video and broadcast graphics
- Way-finding and signage systems

Design can add unique value and insight at all stages of the branding process. The best strategic solutions rarely arrive from analysis alone, so we don’t approach design as just a downstream activity or veneer.

Design intuitively blends creativity, knowledge and experience to see new opportunities. Design organises, puts form and content together and applies aesthetic judgment to communicate the brand message. Design can change perceptions and create desire.

Our designers are passionate about brands and driven to get great ideas to market. They work in partnership with the broader Creative Leap team, our clients and production providers to ensure that the ideas we develop are always actionable, affordable and above all effective.

Good design makes ideas appealing. Great design makes them irresistible.
