Claiming that gets to the heart of brands
In a nutshell
A claim can express everything for which a brand name offers too little space: Emotions. To do this, they must create a content and associative connection to the brand and be highly functional. Especially for start-ups, relaunches and repositionings, claims help the brand take a stand and establish the brand identity. In combination with the name, the claim conveys the brand promise.

In detail
Claim ≠ Slogan
Your claim? Should be an essential part of your branding strategy. Why? Because at best it sums up your corporate philosophy and business model in a short, concise sentence. Why this is important? Because the market is complex and nowadays it’s all about one thing: standing out. Therefore, a lot of time should be taken in the search for a claim – because: the matter is not simple. And, as if that were not enough, the situation is aggravated by the fact that many formulations are already protected. A claim is good if it keeps its promise for a long time, because consumers prefer consistent brands. Oh yes: Creativity should of course not be missing from the claiming process.
A good claim is hard work
We help brands find a catchy claim that relates to the brand promise and has just the right amount of emotionality up its sleeve. We’ll make sure your claim becomes a growth driver within your branding strategy, helping your company get the exposure it deserves.

FAQ
Any questions?
Your claim summarizes your mission or brand promise and your corporate philosophy in a short, concise and emotional way.
No. A claim is a concise formula that you choose uniquely for your brand or product. So it should fit in the long run. A slogan, on the other hand, is more of a short-term advertising phrase. Sometimes, however, a slogan is so good that it can become a claim. However, the two terms are not actually synonymous.
Your claim is the ultimate brand promise of your brand and stands for all your products equally. Claims can also convey descriptive or emotional information and significantly increase the recognition value of your brand or positively influence your brand awareness.
