A concept could be a brand concept, a brand format, branded service & product concept. We can guide you with all of them in a phased traject, workshop or just ‘bring it on’ approach.
DESIGN
Design is not a fixed taste thing. We acknowlede the fact that taste is culture dependent but also depending on the client and it’s (potential) audience. What style is a good compromis to express the brand value and the key values of the company.
WORKSHOPS
