Creating a targeted brand strategy

As one of the leading branding agencies, Flintlock begins by articulating what your business is all about and what you hope to achieve, be that:

  •   Bringing your brand vision to life and quantifying all the intangible aspects of your company that make up your philosophy.
  •   Improving the appeal of your brand, reaching new audience demographics or adapting your branding to meet the demands of new clients or customers.
  •   Refreshing your branding to respond to changes in your business, structure, service offering or market position, keeping branding fresh and exciting.

Brand strategy, importantly, collates the essence of your company based on insights into your growth aspirations, your team and your workforce and develops superb branding with energy, enthusiasm and passion.

Once your brand strategy has been polished to perfection, it is ready to deploy and can be leveraged to augment your digital marketing and the returns you make on promotional investments.

“Flintlock brought lots of experience to our business and supported us with the development of our global brand communication model. Working as part of the Global team and in collaboration with our agencies we now have the foundations for a powerful multi-market communications platform.”

Caroline Harris, Global Brand Director, Costa Coffee

“We have been working Flintlock for about 9 months now and in that time they have already made a real difference. As a high-growth engineering start-up, we are always looking to maximise our impact in the most cost-effective way. The Flintlock team do that by bringing a unique blend of exceptional marketing experience coupled with the ability (and willingness) to roll their sleeves up and deliver real tangible results on a day-to-day basis.”

Chris Adams, Business Development Director, Flylogix Limited

“Flintlock really hit the ground running and instantly became part of the Greenall’s team. On the back of a brand strategy and positioning review they created a new global brand plan and communications brief to bring alive the brands 250 year heritage, as well as managing the complex task of repackaging the existing pack design, to appeal to today’s drinkers. Their contribution at the height of the project was much valued and will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the performance this year.”

Lizzy Johnson, International Brand & Marketing Director, Quintessential Brands Group

“Flintlock really understand brands and the retail space. They got to the heart of our issue fast and helped define an exciting new customer proposition. This, in turn, was used to refine our strategic direction and create a rallying cry for both head office and our store colleagues.”

Allan Dickson, Commercial Director, Dulux Decorator Centre

How to combine brand strategy and marketing in a competitive business sector

We collaborate with clients across Leeds and West Yorkshire, whether helping start-ups and growing companies cement their position and extract market share or helping established brands stay relevant and keep pace with evolving customer expectations and priorities.

Fantastic brand marketing brings concepts together by developing a distinctive and unique identity upon which a business creates marketing content, materials and assets.

Marketing without branding is a little like advertising an incredible product in an empty room. If you don’t have an audience to acknowledge your creativity or the value you offer, your success will be limited.

The importance of creative branding for Leeds businesses

 There are over 100,000 businesses currently trading within the Leeds city region and many more across Yorkshire and the UK. Companies that stand out and capture attention differentiate themselves from the competition by working with talented brand strategy agencies who unpick those special attributes that make them shine. 

Whether you’re a business founder, a managing director or a marketing manager looking for opportunities to augment and expand your reach, compete in a high-growth environment, or break into a hard-to-enter market, our skilled branding experts can help.

We support Leeds clients with long-standing brand strategies that have lost some of their original sparkle or feel irrelevant and outdated. We can consult at any lifecycle stage, defining where you are now and where you’d like to be in the future.

Combining brand strategy with brand marketing makes us one of the best full-service branding agencies, meeting any challenge head-on and deploying our multi-skilled teams to determine the best ways to help you compete and stay ahead.

Turning a brand strategy into an effective programme of marketing techniques

Every business owns marketing collateral, from web pages to content, video posts to social media pages, advertising campaigns to business cards and email signatures – and every detail should be influenced by your brand strategy, delivering a cohesive, recognisable and engaging customer experience. If your web design, product packaging, marketing content or socials don’t reflect the right branding, it can dent the impact and engagement your business generates.

The Flintlock team delivers creative services to inject energy into your brand revamp, ensuring you never hesitate to maximise your presence with focused and data-driven strategic marketing implementation.

Brand marketing approaches depend on your business, sector, audience and position. As a branding agency with a strong track record of success, our creative design teams, specialising in translating branding into real-world assets, can deliver insights to transform a strategy into action.
