Strategy
While many of our clients come to Combo with existing strategies, we often find that organizations benefit from a fresh exploration of their brand identity.
We typically begin projects by developing a comprehensive strategic brief. Our approach is unique: instead of solely focusing on the traditional aspects of brand identity, we incorporate brand archetypes.
Archetypes are universal, symbolic patterns of behaviour. Identifying and leveraging these archetypes helps us to create compelling and emotionally resonant brand identities.
Our strategic brief explores how different archetypes—such as the Hero, the Sage, the Creator or the Caregiver—align with a brand's core values, personality and aspirations. We consider how these archetypal qualities can be expressed through visual design, messaging and overall brand experience.
By grounding our work in archetypal strategy, we create brands that forge strong, instinctive connections with their audience.
This approach allows us to develop brand materials that are not just surface-level attractive, but profoundly meaningful and enduring.
