A Manifesto

Brand First.

Our unwavering belief in the power of branding calls us to put our attention on brand before we put it anywhere else. Because without it, we are rudderless, forging through our landscape without question, or strategy, or direction. But with brand at the helm, we are cohesive—aesthetically, emotionally, energetically—because we have a set of principles by which to make a consistent and memorable impact. With brand, we eclipse the competition because we have the grit to understand and then bare the truest version of ourselves, cementing our relevance because our audience can see themselves in us. It is only with brand at the forefront that we can stake our claim, build a tribe, and achieve thorough and lasting success.

Brand Forever.

Our enduring dedication to our craft calls us to live fully by the tenets of Brand First. Like our clients, standing newly shod, we can glimpse the possibility borne by holding fast and true to the elements of our brand. Who would we, would anyone be, if we spoke of our dedication to our brand but acted without adherence to it? But if we dedicate ourselves to brand as a practice, we become unwavering in the eyes of our customers, unfailing in the eyes of our competitors, and unfaltering in our purpose as an organization: to unlock the potential in others so that they might go on to unlock even greater potential in their lives and organizations.

So we present to you our highest hope, our first ascent, our rallying cry. It’s what we feel, what we create, and what we stand for.
