Braces, curly brackets, squiggles, sideways moustaches, l33t hugs - call them what you will. Math and science lovers use them to say "hey, here's a set of things." We liked that, because we're talking chemistry, and we hold a set of values, too. We also find their shape quite beautiful. So we're using them. Enjoy.
The American Marketing Association defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers."
This is very true - and very, very textbook. So what happens when branding achieves textbook status? Branding is no longer the new idea, and it's not the upper hand. It's a given, a prerequisite, the entry fee. Everyone's doing it, and many are doing it well.
To go beyond distinction into true advantage, you have to take it deeper: reaching people not only where they think, but where they love, desire, seek out and don't settle. That's where you want to be. Put simply: To really matter, you need to reach people where it matters the most. You need to do more than brand, you need to bond. And that's where we come in.
Bonding smart strategies with sophisticated creative and spirited design - all steeped in that extra little something we call chemistry - you could call that our bailiwick. Doing our thing takes many glorious forms, as you can see from the list below. We don't mind saying that it's pretty exciting stuff.
