Having created, supported and nurtured hundreds of brands, we’re familiar with both the challenges and solutions to help connect with customers on that invisible, emotional level. We’ve developed a suite of approaches, process and anticipated outcomes to help brands and marketing efforts thrive.
We welcome you to explore what we call our “Brand Tools”
TOOLS FOR
UNDERSTANDING YOUR AUDIENCE + THE PLAYING FIELD
These suites of tools serve to get a better understanding of where your brand is, how it’s connecting, the emotional qualities of what your audience is looking for in your product or service and what your competition is doing right (we can learn from pluses and negatives)!
Persona Modeling
A study and discovery of your core audience and influencers, who they are, why they need you and how you can attract and retain their business. Beyond Marketing 101 demographics, we explore their Psychographics and paint a picture of who they are based on their ideals—their needs, wants and aspirations; the level of trust they give your brand versus other brands they love.
A study, strategy and action plan for understanding your audience and how to connect with their wants, trust and motivations.
Competitive Landscape
Harness the power of a WideAngle Competitive review to surface insights about your local and distant competitors. See how they are emotionally perceived from a new customer standpoint.
