Digital Strategy & Services

The ability to spontaneously engage with the Internet has fuelled a huge shift in audience behaviour. The Social Web has forced brands to significantly change the ways in which they talk to their customers through Digital (and traditional) channels. High-speed broadband, 3G and SmartPhones (BlackBerry/iPhone/Android etc.) means the Internet now goes wherever we go. It is a 24/7 medium – always on and always within reach.

Digital Strategy is planning the creative use of online channels to engage with audiences. Success relies upon relevancy – delivering the right message and tone of voice, through the right channels. This is no longer a one-way medium – it is no longer confined to websites and emails. The Social Web has provided consumers with the tools to engage one another on a very personal level, with or without your brand.

Digital is part of everything Birddog does. We think about Digital Strategy and we deliver Digital Campaigns.

Creative Strategy (Creative Platform) & Services

Birddog’s Creative Platform® is the tool with which to articulate the brand story (new or existing). Creative communications are not random thoughts loosely connected by graphic design – those are just communications. True creativity is the conception and application of great ideas across all communication channels in support of the Brand Strategy.

The Creative Platform® is a process of creative consultancy and concept development that aligns the brand within a digital strategy for improved delivery of communications campaigns. The outcomes are really good ideas that can be measured, analysed, tracked, reported on and evaluated across all bought, owned and earned digital media platforms. Creative that can be measured. Beautiful.

Brand Strategy & Services

A brand is a collection of perceptions in the mind of an audience. It’s not just a product or service that can easily be measured or touched. Nor is it just a logo or tactical campaign.

Building a brand is the ability to shape the perceptions of an audience – how and where they want to be communicated with – online, using existing, new and evolving digital channels.

The Birddog Brand Platform is a process of strategic consultancy and creative thinking applied to your brand, your business, your audience, your employees and markets. The outcomes are focussed messages that form a consistent brand story and a compelling way of telling it.

Some of the Things We Do:

Brand Strategy:

  • Strategic Brand Consultancy
  • Brand Strategy Planning

Creative Platform® Brand Workshops

‘Let’s hold a workshop to discuss that…’ has become an overused and consequentially devalued catchall term for, ‘Let’s have a meeting…’ Birddog workshops are different.

Birddog brand and Creative Platform® workshops have been developed to introduce clients to exercises that support Birddog’s Brand Narrative Model. These creative and dynamic workshops are as revealing for how they are undertaken, as they are for their specific outcomes. Derived from clinical psychology, Birddog’s ‘projective and enabling techniques’ operate just below conscious awareness to stimulate the subjective truth instead of objective responses – you can run, but you can’t hide. All clients seeking true brand enlightenment are encouraged to participate.

ReThink, re-brand

The ReThink Group plc, one of the UK’s leading recruitment experts for the business and technology sectors, engaged Birddog to help clarify and differentiate ReThink in an already crowded recruitment marketplace.

Birddog helped ReThink to understand that the brand’s value was not how ReThink compared itself to competitors, but how it was ‘different’ from other recruitment companies. It’s a subtle shift, but most brands succeed or fail on a subtle shift…

Birddog’s ‘Being Different’ brand strategy for ReThink that has been appraised independently as, “a fantastic and very clever piece of branding and marketing”.

Group Marketing Director, Michael Bennett, FIRP, discusses the importance of the ReThink brand in the prominent industry magazine, ‘Recruiter’: http://www.recruiter.co.uk/rebranding-rethink/1006563.article
