OUR APPROACH AND HOW WE APPLY WHAT WE LEARN
We apply one consistent diagnostic framework.
How we deploy it depends on what you need to do with what we discover together.
We diagnose whether your organization's understanding of its market is aligned with what's actually true.
We examine all four diagnostic layers: your stated brand strategy, your brand infrastructure, the lived experience of your brand, and the sociocultural reality. Then we tell you where the alignment is strong and where the gaps are.
This yields: A clear assessment of where your brand strategy reflects accurate market understanding and where it doesn't.
Who needs this:
Organizations that sense misalignment but can't quite identify it;
Leaders who see their brand isn't landing the way they intended;
Teams facing a market response that doesn't match their strategy.
Brand + Cultural Strategy Diagnosis
When diagnosis reveals gaps, strategy requires rebuilding— aligning what you believe about your market with what's actually true.
We develop brand and marketing strategies grounded in cultural understanding + reality. We show you what's actually true about your market, then rebuild your strategy so all four layers align with that reality.
This work naturally informs decisions across marketing, advertising, public relations, and brand communications— anywhere your strategy touches customer and employee experience.
This yields: A strategic roadmap built on what your market actually believes and values, not on assumptions.
Who needs this:
Organizations ready to rebuild strategy from a foundation of accurate market understanding; those that genuinely want to diagnose whether your organization's understanding of its market is aligned with what's actually true.
Brand Strategy + Cultural Literacy Development
Sustainable alignment requires your teams to develop cultural literacy—the ability to read what's actually true about your market.
We teach your teams to understand how to build diagnostic layers for themselves; To understand what the cultural reality truly is; To notice when the gaps between what you believe and what's true are growing or closing; To stay aligned as culture evolves.
This yields: The ability for your business to maintain alignment between what you believe about your market and what's actually there, over time.
Who needs this:
Organizations committed to staying coherent with their market as conditions change.
