Brand Strategy Roadmap

Brand Strategy Roadmap

A strong brand is not just a logo. It’s a positioning for competitive advantage. Your brand defends against commoditization and helps you dominate in your market category.

The goal of a Brand Strategy Roadmap is to make your company more valuable to customers, employees, and investors. Our approach is practical, hands-on, and backed up by research.

Our methodology facilitates discussions and achieves consensus among stakeholders. Workshops, market research, and interviews conducted by an objective third-party are often exactly what’s needed to motivate an organization to re-think their brand.

If your business is new or if you feel your brand needs renewal, let us work with you to create a brand that’s irreplaceable and irresistible to your market.

Why the Smartt Brand Strategy Roadmap?

The Brand Strategy Roadmap delivers recommendations and guidelines that allow you to manage brand consistency across all customer touch points; this lowers rather than increases the cost of branding activities.

The Brand Strategy Roadmap works because it’s a business assessment that examines your:


  • Vision Where is your brand going? What are your aspirations?

  • Values What do you want your brand to stand for?

  • Mission What do you need to do to fulfill your vision?

  • Market What is your niche?

  • Customers What are their hopes, needs, and pains?

Your brand communicates your vision and values to the market. We provide you with the recommendations, tools, and data to develop sustainable, consistent branding activities that grow your brand and make it more valuable.

How Does a Brand Strategy Roadmap Work?

A Brand Strategy Roadmap can take from one to two months. This is a highly-customized engagement; we don’t use ‘canned’ content. We develop workshop content and deliverables based on information specific to your situation. We make sure we cover issues relevant to your company, customers, positioning, and customer experience before we work on brand development. Outcomes from this engagement depend heavily on timely feedback from stakeholders.

Your Company

Preliminary industry research, workshop, and interviews focus on your company’s brand vision, mission, and values. We audit existing marketing collaterals. The questions we bring to the table at this stage often lead to productive internal discussions.
