Brand Strategy and Design for Intelligent Brands

Whether launching or relaunching products, business units, or whole business categories, there’s a protocol for doing it intelligently. Intelligent brands are built to work hard and we work hard to build intelligent brands. That means brands that fill gaps, answer tough questions, inspire innovation, and intrigue skeptics with verbal and visual systems that clarify as they amplify.

IP is full-stack counsel for brand examination, construction, activation, and endurance. Our work is defined by business strategy and designed to engage talent and customers with timely, relevant experiences that fit.

How We Collaborate to Transform

Brand building takes experience and grace — after all, your employees and customers are busy doing their own work, why should they be distracted by yours? Intelligent brands are designed to add value to each audience, not just inform them.

Our Work

Protocols, Innovated

At IP, brand strategy is about everything from a brand’s personality, to visual expression, to fundamental transformation. We approach brand and business challenges with rigor, focus, and curiosity. We revise, rethink, and reconceptualize. We love to ask, “What if we looked at this in a completely different way?” We help clients to define and own a distinct and powerful brand, aligning with business goals, inspiring audiences, and shaping industries.
