Discovery is a process that allows us to give you a creative strategy. Work with us to discover your story.
When we bring a client through a discovery process we learn something of great value. It’s much easier to deliver what they need when we understand them completely. Sure, it seems obvious now, but we didn’t always do this. Today we won’t do without it. Through discovery and research, we design logos and websites with confidence because we build on solid ground.
There are different phases of this process:
- Vision, Mission & Purpose
- Brand Attributes
- Customer Profiles
- Customer Awareness
- Company Goals
Discovery is never the same. Your discovery process will match your needs. If you’d like to rebrand your business, we’ll need to create a brand strategy for creative work to follow. We want to look at what you’re offering and what your customers are looking for. The agenda is specific to each client. We've put together a couple of case studies to help illustrate the results of this process.
When you ask a website design company to redesign your website, or a graphic designer to create your logo, how will they deliver something of value? Without having a meaningful conversation first, what will they deliver?
What if there was a process of asking questions and applying the answers? When you work with us, we ask that you start with discovery. The result is the value you hoped for.
You can expect us to ask prying questions and then listen to your answers. If you like what your reading, give us a call. We look forward to working with a client like you.
Please read our blog post about how Discovery leads to Strategy, which leads to Branding to know more about how important our process is to us.
How rebranding works
For branding to be successful it should come from a place of meaning - it should come from you. This is why we recommend brand strategy. Developing your brand will involve a deep discovery process that is specific to knowing your organization.
The outcome of brand strategy is a roadmap for creative work to follow. It is derived from our strategy sessions and our research, and it will set the tone for all brand materials, both inside and outside your company.
About brand strategy
Brand strategy is a series of meetings with stakeholders, each one facilitated and purposeful. We uncover insights about your business and the value you offer. We identify who your customers are, and understand the position of your company in the community. We do our own research and deliver a roadmap - the clear path to creative work.
Mission, Vision & Goals
In this session, we aim to identify the foundation of the company. What do you want, how do you see yourself, and why is it important to you? We want to hear from everyone who wants to see the business succeed.
Brand Personality
We find the right words, images, and ways to describe the brand as clearly as if it were a person we could talk to. We want to know the brand values, the culture around it, what it feels is important, how the brand looks, acts, and talks.
Target Audience
Here we’ll define the different types of people you want to attract. We want to know where to find them, how to talk to them, the problems they are facing, and the reasons why they choose you. We’ll research your audience’s needs and review our findings.
Gap Analysis
We’ll discuss how you perceive the brand and how the community perceives it. We will research other cultural institutions in the Berkshires and in the country, and discover ways to bridge the gap between the brand and the customer.
The Roadmap
The roadmap is your strategy for producing creative work. This document will be used for all marketing and design projects, to guide all internal and external communications and ensure they are consistent, on brand, and on message.
Everything we offer
You need different ways of communicating your brand to your customers. Here is a list of our capabilities that help our clients achieve their goals.
“Before we worked with Gemini Creative our website was in desperate need of attention. When we sat down with Glenn and his team, we had an idea of what we were looking for. It quickly became clear they would bring our vision into reality and add to it in ways we hadn’t foreseen.”
“Glenn’s attention to detail takes what we are thinking and presents a usable website idea. He did a fantastic job keeping us on track. He created a timeline with specific goals for us to meet and he made sure to accommodate us during our busiest season. Their designer Abby took our vision and paired large images with clean, clear areas for text. This created the beautiful and informative website we have today. We scheduled multiple photoshoots and now have a library filled with beautiful photos and videos that encapsulate our space through the seasons.”
“We now have an aesthetically pleasing website that is easy to update, with two new industry-specific tools and a small online store we can easily add to if need be. We continue to work with Gemini Creative to design signage, print advertising, and email marketing. I highly recommend working with them.”
