Our process begins by first developing foundational strategies
to address business issues at the core. During this critical stage our
goal is to deliver a set of strategic choices for business growth that
leverage your company’s most important assets: Shared vision.
Value creation. Strategic Positioning. These are the qualities that
become the source of your organization’s sustainable competitive
advantage.
Brand Character
Vanguard’s Brand Character is an invaluable tool for developing
a focused, integrated brand management program. Brand Character enables
us to articulate a company’s value proposition across all stakeholder
groups through a powerful combination of visual and verbal identity.
Most important, Brand Character integrates all marketing efforts by
providing a clearer focus and more precise vision—leading to
improved communications with all audiences.
Corporate Identity
Identity consists of a wordmark, symbol, color palette,
ligatures… all
of which serve as a visual shorthand for a company’s brand. In
reality, corporate identity is the outward, visual articulation of
the relationships, promises, products, culture, history, successes
(and failures) access points, and everything else that makes up an
organization. Is an identity a “logo?” Sure, but that only
scratches the surface. Vanguard’s process of identity development
and design is as sophisticated, complex and successful as the organizations
for which they are designed.
