What We Do
brandthis is a marketing and consulting firm focused on developing, defining and nurturing distinctive, compelling, and powerful consumer-driven brands. Expertise includes research design and oversight, strategic development, brand positioning, creative project management, and the development of fully integrated marketing plans.
brandthis was founded with a bias toward the consumer and brings a unique blend of marketing savvy and creative flair to every assignment.
Given that no two assignments are the same, each project is approached in
a customized fashion. That being said, however, there are certain stages
that a project will probably go through with a full array of processes
available depending upon a client's needs. Some of these processes are conducted
solely by
brandthis while others are done in collaboration with other
outside vendors, e.g. research firms, package design firms, etc.
