Regardless of the nature of your business,
the brand identity process remains the same.
What changes is the depth with which each
phase is conducted, the amount of time and
resources allocated, and the size of the team.

Brand Identity Process

Mystique’s brand identity process utilizes research, analytics, and creativity to attain a clear and deep understanding of unmet needs and opportunities related to customers or markets, to create value for your business.

A process that ensures your brand identity both embodies and advances your company’s desired perceptions – ingrains the message into company culture – and acts as a constant reminder of its core values and its heritage.

Regardless of the nature of your business or the complexity of the engagement, the process remains the same. What changes is the depth with which each phase is conducted, the amount of time and resources allocated, and the size of the team, on both our side and yours.

The process is defined by distinct phases with logical beginning and ending points, which allow decision-making at the appropriate intervals. Eliminating steps or reorganizing the process may present an appealing way to cut costs and time, but doing so can pose substantial risks and impede long-term benefits – the process, when done right, can achieve remarkable results.
