Nothing beats a stable foundation

Professional, well-orchestrated processes ensure your success

It is said that the brand is what will be ultimately remembered. But only if it is well managed. The starting point for everything we do has to be a clearly defined brand in terms of identity and current positioning in the market, branding and corporate design. These fundamentals are closely interconnected and seriously influence whether a brand has a powerful energy, and can be efficiently scaled and communicated.

It is equally important that the qualities of the brand are consistently reflected and continuously advanced in everyday practice. And the more participants are involved, the more important guidelines and clear responsibilities are. Finally, good brand management always calls for creativity, ‘gut feel’ and daring.

For important decisions, such as positioning issues, large campaigns or to validate advertising impact, we recommend qualitative or quantitative market research – also in the B2B segment. No one can offer better information on your customers’ needs than your customers themselves.

From individual motifs to a ‘swarm’

Advertising campaigns today usually have the character of a swarm: A swarm of diverse digital advertising motifs, text ads, content elements, email prompts, landing pages, print motifs and others. Target groups use a variety of channels and the customer journey is complex. Brand management, creative development and media planning are therefore equally challenging. What’s our story, what’s our big idea? Only those who know how to condense their messages and charge them with excitement and emotion will achieve return on investment from marketing – and these effects can be measured via marketing controlling.

When managing and analysing data, users have a choice between two approaches: the huge storage pool for structured and unstructured data (data lake) and the data warehouse – a centralised, structured database. Both solutions have advantages and disadvantages and the choice greatly depends on a company’s specific requirements and objectives. We have taken a look at both approaches and will help you differentiate between them.

More impact with data

Data-driven, cross-channel campaigns

As a rule, a large amount of data is already available for the strategic development process. We compile and evaluate data on markets, target groups, media use, performance of previous campaigns, etc. The same applies to the creative process: Often, different campaign approaches are tested for their effectiveness in A/B tests. Above all, we use data from a wide variety of sources to continuously measure and optimise the success of campaigns.
