Solving Business Challenges
Increased revenue. New customer acquisition. Customer retention. Communications and operations misalignment. We help our clients solve these and other business challenges and create lasting value through a planned, purposeful approach to brand building. Whether you’re launching a new brand, reinventing an existing brand or breathing new life into a heritage brand we’ll help you energize, strategize, visualize and execute to position you for success.
Guiding With Purpose
Nocturnal serves as brand counsel to our clients. We understand that many people have never purchased creative services before and don’t know what to expect from the branding process. We are hands-on, helping you craft relevant, resilient, meaningful brands that matter. Such brands foster innovation, create jobs, generate wealth and fuel the engine that drives culture and commerce. If that's the kind of brand you strive to be Nocturnal is the partner for you.
Branding With Intent
We dig deeper to uncover the meaning, metaphor, character and wit unique to your brand while never allowing cliche, trend or fashion to obscure your message. Our goal is helping you achieve your goals. Communicating with clarity and efficiency to achieve those goals is the unifying element throughout our work.
Business Success Through Brand Value
Nocturnal does not create decoration; we unlock value trapped within your business and brand to move you beyond commodity competition to profitable differentiation. Branding, as we practice it, is part art, part science and all persuasion. By fusing design, psychology, sociology, semiotics, linguistics, neuroscience, behavioral economics and more into planned, purposeful, results-driven strategies and razor-sharp creative executions Nocturnal helps our clients communicate with clarity, consistently provide quality and achieve meaningful distinction in the marketplace.
Stoking Brand Desire
You don't do that by barking, "better, faster, cheaper," you do it by connecting people with the soul of the organization - the brand. To be successful, a brand must consistently provide quality and satisfaction; it must meaningfully distinguish itself from the competition to create customer preference; it must be relevant, convenient and easily accessible to people who use it and desire it; and it must appeal to their individual lifestyles, business needs, attitudes and beliefs. People embrace things that interest them and add value to their lives. Our goal is making your brand one of those things so that consumers consistently choose you when given a choice – and gladly pay a premium.
Defining Your Brand
For every business there are things you know, things you don't know and things you don't know you don't know. Where are the gaps? What are the opportunities? Who is the audience? What drives the purchase? We consider the spaces in between, check the periphery and ponder the unthinkable to bring as much into focus as possible. Only with a clear understanding of who we are, what we stand for and how we fit into the landscape can we plan and map a brand strategy to obtain your goals.
Designing Your Brand
Design is the practical and tangible execution of your brand strategy. Getting it right means making design part of your brand DNA; realizing design is the animating principle of your brand experience, not superfluous decoration. Leveraging the power of design – graphic design, environmental design, user experience design, etc. – across all aspects of your brand establishes and sustains differentiation. In a cluttered market differentiation always wins.
Declaring Your Brand
Brands are declared through stories, signals and systems because that's how the human brain best receives, reacts to and stores information. Nocturnal fuses art, science, strategy and more to amplify your brand via advanced communications tools, technologies and techniques that are manageable, measurable, flexible and effective.
Creating Brand Culture
Marketing is a department, branding is a culture. It's far too complex to relegate to a single department. Organizations operate in silos. Marketing, finance, IT, sales, and the C-suite often approach branding with differing points of view. Misalignment costs money. Our clients retain Nocturnal to provide clarity, consensus and communication solutions to align their team and move their brand forward with focus.
Questioning Conventional Thinking
Successful branding means asking "what if" with a sense of wonder rather than a sense of dread. We'll teach you to look at your brand differently because nothing truly remarkable ever came from conventional thinking. What's the point of being in business if you're not trying to be remarkable? Nocturnal can lead you in the direction you need to go – if you're willing to follow.
Collaborating With Nocturnal
We are agile by design, employing only senior-level talent. While most work is done entirely in-house our model offers flexibility allowing us to assemble a tailored team of experts from any field. Our principals are always hands-on and engaged in your project, you won't get mere face-time with senior staff only to have your account handed off to junior personnel.
Brand Diversity
Nocturnal maintains a diverse client roster spanning numerous industries and organizations from start-ups to globally recognized brands. This range provides a wider cultural and economic purview providing broader perspective from which to approach and solve business challenges.
