A brand workshop is essential to create a strategic base. If you want to swim against the conventional tide as a brand and differentiate yourself through uniqueness, you’ve come to the right place. Our Customers are not average – and neither are we as an agency. As branding and design expertsExperts we know what questions to ask – and sometimes we have to use unconventional methods. After all, we don’t make the brands of today, but the brands for tomorrow.

What's in it for you?

We support you in making your brand profile tangible and tangible by formulating brand values as well as user promises and packaging them in a brand story. In doing so, we strike the right note, as we are guided by the respective tone-of-voice of companies, which we have worked out together beforehand. During the workshop, our Brand Pro’s will analyze the following, among other things:

+ Competitive analysis

FAQ

Any questions?

When does a brand workshop make sense for me?

A brand workshop at Schwarz+Matt makes particular sense if you are in the early stages of setting up your company or if you want to give your brand a fresh coat of paint. But also when your brand architecture is to be put to the test or structural changes in the company are imminent, which may inspire you to reposition yourself. There are numerous reasons for an intensive workshop. Especially in a fast-moving age, constant questioning of the status quo is essential in order to stay up-to-date.

After the workshop, you will know about your company’s unique identity, your authentic brand character and your positioning.

It always depends. As a rule, an intensive workshop for 2-4 hours makes sense. But it usually doesn’t take longer than that.

First of all, no. It is important that, at best, teammates from different departments attend the workshop in order to get as varied a picture of you and your brand as possible.

Yes. The workshop takes an in-depth look at the topic of brand development and questions your current status quo. A brand workshop always makes sense if you want to give your brand a breath of fresh air, but also if you are starting up.
