We co-create brands and teams within the direct to consumer space.
We work with entrepreneurs and founders on new launches and rebrands.
Together we do different.
A one-stop shop for brand architecture and experience. From insights and strategy to activation and team building.
Early stage start-up brands thrive by tapping into a range of specialisms whilst remaining stealthy and nimble. We partner with founders to provide an end-to-end comms solution so they can build and grow their brands from the inside-out.
What can brand design do for a start-up?
Makes decision-making easier.
With clarity on purpose and a clear direction of travel, you will be inspired to move at pace.
Attracts the rights customers.
Consistent tone of voice with a clear identity will keep your audience close as you grow.
Saves you cash on campaigns.
Turbo-charge performance marketing by nailing your target consumer, communication platform and all the reasons to believe in your brand.
Gives the team a common goal.
Inspires your crew and incites action, whilst making it easier to attract and hire the right people.
Our process seeks to
answer some universal brand questions.
What is the real problem we are solving for real people?
We’ll build proprietary research and bespoke consumer insights to generate a culturally-purposeful brand strategy built around the thoughts, feelings and desires of your bullseye target audience. This way people will not only notice your brand but will care about it’s offering when they do. Result: your brand will become your killer strategic advantage.
What’s our go-to-market strategy?
We’ll create a solid brand strategy to inform a compelling creative narrative. The brand strategy will guide future decision-making for the next decade - at least - whilst informing an objective-led, go-to-market plan across owned, earned and paid to create new behaviours and habits around your brand.
Who’s going to do all this stuff?
We’ll plug into your existing team, train them where necessary, bring in specialist individuals, assist in a recruitment drive or recommend other businesses we know and love.
Our philosophy is
focused on creating
’the magic’.
How do we work Together?
We’re not an agency.
We are not suppliers. We’re a network of passionate brand designers. We become part of your team and build this Together.
We care about people.
We seek to understand you, coach you, support you, remind you, listen to you, feed back to you and advise you. We feel it’s our place. We go on a journey Together.
We like to have fun.
We see the fun in challenges, and are best matched with curious, open and courageous people who want to do different.
We thrive with great chemistry.
It’s the difference between great and good. So let’s work hard to get there. And if we don’t that’s ok too.
We’ve got our priorities in check.
We focus on the stuff that matters. So no pretty decks (unless you specify!), just common-sense strategy and efficient execution.
We give each other space.
A mix of in-house and remote working with regular check-ins. Slack and Zoom are our friends, so when we’re not Together, that’s where we’ll connect.
Finally, we co-create.
Rather than simply deliver on deadlines. So we sometimes consider equity as part payment of our consultancy fees. Just ask.
What our friends say…
“Jo has been an integral part of our journey and I would highly recommend her. Thoughtful, analytical but also creatively minded, she applies her understanding of trends and consumer insights to create culturally relevant identities, strategies and campaigns. Beyond that, she is an executer who does the work, and does not stop at 5pm. She is a stickler for detail and upholds teams to a high standard that equips you with a framework on which to build and succeed. She’s also very funny and I often call her to riff on ideas and am grateful to have her as part of our family.”
“Jo is a straight-up ninja strategist and more. She serves up the highest level of cultural and human insight on the regular, underpinned by her expertise in both marketing and trend-casting, in ways that are always interesting and importantly useful at the nascent stage of a brand. And then the magic… expressing this strategic thinking through design, advertising and content. She has helped the brand come alive, across every touchpoint, always going above and beyond to deliver. Her clear thinking, roll up the sleeves attitude and wicked sense of humour, as we all ride the start-up roller coaster, keeps us on course. We love working with Together - both professionally and personally - and when you’re building a team as well as a business you need both!”
“Together were pivotal to the development of the Numan brand, and brought a wealth of consumer and cultural insights to inform the strategy. Along the way, Jo opened her network of contacts, partners, specialists and candidates, whilst giving us a tonne of ideas on how we could activate and deliver on the brand strategy. I recommend her to any early-stage or scaling start-up who wants to push the needle.”
“Together delivered fresh brand frameworks for all six of our brands. Jo worked really well with our existing team and extracted meaning from many disparate data points, combining these with cultural trends to produce some amazing strategic insights that we were able to action really quickly. Twisted, in particular, has gone from strength to strength since we crystallised the purpose with Jo and the team. Nice one Together!”
