As a multidisciplinary creative agency, we help businesses spark positive change through thoughtful design, user-centered thinking, and strategic vision.
Brand Strategy and Indentity
Explore archetypal structure and value-based brand DNA.
Brands are what people see, feel and ultimately trust. They require love, consideration, sacrifice and consistency. Our shakes brand trinity model offers a framework that allows us to transform meanings and relationships a brand may form with its users.
THE BRAND TRINITY
Brands are like people, we interact with them on basic human principles, their credibility or how trustworthy they seem, the way they talk and engage us, and the actual depth they can deliver. This trinity defines a brand’s challenge to characterize itself in front of an audience and requires an enduring long-term plan with consistent short-term executions.
ARCHETYPE THEORY
We use Archetypal Theory, first construed by Carl Jung, to construct a brand personality that is easily recognized by any audience. Archetypes are universally inherited prototypes which help us to perceive and act in a certain way. They build the perfect foundation to assign presupposed character values that a brand can act out through communications and other forms of engagement.
Our brand identity starts with defining the basic archetype of the client or business using our brand trinity model. Upon which we consider the nature of the business, its environment and expectations to create a meaningful and relatable identity.
WHAT’S YOUR IDENTITY WORTH?
In the era of canva, fiverr and the gig economy we know that plenty of professional services have been diluted and you can get a good-looking design for a few bucks, that is if you’re lucky. But what exactly are you paying for at an agency like shakes? If you decide to take your business to an agency, you’re thinking long-term and you realize that your business needs an identity that’s going to make it through the next 5 years, maybe even 10! That’s only possible when you have an experienced creative team that can deliver a great design that carries meaning and bestows value to your name. Your logo and identity is in good hands and will be for years to come.
