As I mentioned above, many walk in the place with CONFIDENCE but may lack in other areas, such as look, approach and voice.  This is where we come in.  A little swag can make all the difference in the world.  We take that confidence and apply it to the new look we create, the approach we plan out, and the voice we craft.  An example of a brand we’ve worked with that has extreme confidence is Scotch Porter, a men’s grooming product line.  When we began our relationship with Scotch Porter, they had confidence in their product and what they were on a mission to accomplish.  In crafting the perfect look, approach and voice to communicate the SP brand message, their confidence went through the roof, leaving very little to be desired.  Our work on their brand identity has made them whole by giving them a new tier of confidence, confidence in their look, confidence in the approach, and confidence in their voice, allowing them the space to flourish as a premier men’s grooming line.

Moving along to LOOK, this has proven to be a common struggle for a lot of brands.  Many struggle with creating a cohesive look that gives them the distinction they are seeking.  Leading up to a recent political election, we worked with a local politician, Councilman Jerry Guarino.  His look at the time he hired us left much to be desired.  There was no evidence of any effort put into the look of his brand (image), a critical component in solidifying his candidacy.  We took the time to craft a look that expressed the confidence he already had in his political platform.  Needless to say he won the election.  Afterall presentation is everything.  Although we don’t have a correlation analysis to prove it, we can say with great confidence that the look we equipped Councilman Guarino with played a large role in securing his seat at the table.  We gave him a look that matched his voice and confidence, something the people could believe in.

APPROACH is critical, it’s the plan.  Failing to plan is planning to fail.  A brand can have confidence, a great look, and a voice that communicates the brand but all of these minus an approach that works is like having peanut butter and no jelly, bread and no butter, spring roll and no duck sauce (I like sauce), or all looks and no substance.  Venturez, a record label we’ve been CLAV-ing out, came to us with vision, an approach that just needed some finessing and of course some correlating C, L, and V.  Venturez had some knowledge on the direction they were going in and an idea of how to get there but just needed a comprehensive identity and some coaching surrounding their approach and how to mesh their approach with this new identity.

We recently finished a project, thefivewards.com, a HYCIDE magazine project.  This project resulted in a resounding VOICE and overall confidence, culminated in the site we developed for them, showcasing the look and approach we meticulously crafted.  For a project like this, mission heavy and community oriented, their voice is essential, with this in mind, we made sure the voice we brought out hit every necessary pitch and frequency.

In the delivery of proposals and pitches, we developed and continue to develop looks that WOW, utilizing approaches that work.  Our style of active communication with our clients has resulted in strategic plans that lay out phases and actions that we get behind and our clients have no trouble believing in.  In developing an identity for their brands and an approach for delivery and engagement, our clients subsequently develop a brand voice that speaks in tandem with their newly crafted look and approach.  Kind of like the first day of school, you roll up in the place with your new outfit and fresh kicks, ready to flex on cats, that’s the swag our clients walk away with. So to recap, remember:

If a dope brand is what you desire…
Try spittin that CLAV Method fire.
Confidence in your Look, Approach and Voice
will make sure you never feel a void.
