Brand Development

Marketing beginnt von innen heraus. Eine "Marke" für ein Unternehmen zu schaffen, bedeutet, sein Image zu schaffen und dieses Image mit Kampagnen und visuellen Mitteln zu fördern. Markenentwicklung und -management ist die kohärente und konsistente Anwendung von Marketing auf ein bestimmtes Produkt oder eine bestimmte Identität im Laufe der Zeit. Während effektives Branding dem Zielpublikum den Eindruck von Verlässlichkeit vermittelt, ist es seine Entwicklung, die die positive emotionale Bindung fördert, Vertrauen in das Markenversprechen weckt und eine loyale Anhängerschaft generiert.  Wir können bei Design, Strategie, Richtlinien und mehr helfen. Bei Branding geht es um mehr als nur ein Logo. Wir sind Experten in der Schaffung vollständiger Identitäten, die für Ihre Kunden einnehmend, aufregend und einprägsam sind. Wir möchten sicherstellen, dass jedes neue oder aktualisierte Markendesign höchst flexibel und wohlüberlegt ist. Um wirksam zu sein, muss dieses Versprechen klar verstanden werden, die Wünsche und Bedürfnisse des Zielpublikums ansprechen und eine Lösung anbieten sowie eine wahrheitsgetreue und authentische Darstellung beibehalten, die schließlich die dringend benötigte Glaubwürdigkeit erzeugt. Eine effektive Markenstrategie schafft eine einzigartige Gelegenheit, die die Position des Unternehmens auf dem Markt fördert und sie mit der Qualität seiner Dienstleistungen oder Produktlinie verbindet. Die Marke muss die Vielseitigkeit beinhalten, alle Formate zu transzendieren und dennoch die gleichen wesentlichen Werte und Komponenten der entwickelten Identität zu vermitteln.

Marketing starts from the inside out. To create a 'brand' for a company is to create their image, and to promote that image with campaigns and visuals. Brand development and management is the cohesive and consistent application of marketing to a specific product or identity over time. While effective branding presents to the target audience the impression of reliability, it is its development which fosters the positive emotional attachment and inspires faith in the brand promise, and generates a loyal following.  We can help with design, strategy, guidelines and more. Branding is about more than just a logo. We are experts at creating complete identities that are engaging, exciting and memorable for your customers. We want to ensure any new or updated brand design is highly flexible and well-considered. This means our designs offer a great return on investment, being robust enough to give you many years of successful use.

To be effective, that promise must be clearly understood, engaging and offering a solution to the target audience’s wants and needs, as well as maintaining a truthful and authentic representation, that will eventually generate the much needed credibility. An effective brand strategy creates a unique opportunity that will foster the company's position in the marketplace, and pair it with the quality of their services or product line. The brand must include the versatility to transcend all formats and still transmit the same essential values and components of the developed identity.

We offer the complete portfolio of services to ensure our designs will work in the real world. From initial concept to brand manual creation, we'll work in partnership with you, valuing your voice and acting on your feedback. This ensures we develop an identity that really works for your business. Branding is a key business tool; this means we aim to use our creativity and experience to provide brand development that deliver you real results. From new ventures to rebranding projects, we use competitor research and testing to create effective brand developments.

~ Sample selection below: Coco Palms Branding Concept ~


As Sr. Art Director and leading designer on "The Rebirth of Coco Palms" for InfoGrafik (Honolulu), Harald-M. Lehnardt developed a unique visual language that translated well
throughout an array of applications. He has won several Pele Awards for this project..

Coco Palms is a legendary resort that, for nearly 40 years, welcomed guests from throughout the islands and around the world, bringing everyone together with great aloha.  From this aloha, a unique and wonderful community thrived for many years. It was the oldest hotel on the Garden Isle of Kaua`i, and was the world's most famous Polynesian resort. Elvis Presley filmed the finale of his film "Blue Hawaii" there in 1961, immortalizing its lush coconut groves and picturesque lagoons. When Hurricane Iniki struck in September 1992, the Coco Palms was shut down indefinitely as repairs proved too costly and the entire island struggled with recession. With its historical lagoons, magical coconut grove and sacred grounds, Coco Palms provides a wonderful setting for a development commensurate with the lifestyle and beauty of Kauai, and it beckoned to be brought back to life. In 2006, Coco Palms Ventures, a group headed by Maryland-based developer Phillip Ross, bought the resort for $12 million. The property includes 16.4 acres on Kuhio Highway, and the 17-acre coconut grove, which is leased from the state. Coco Palms Ventures intended to invest $220 million to build 200 condos, 104 hotel rooms and 48 bungalows.
