Brand cultivation

Take a big step back and a deep breath in as we
survey and define your place in the world

We'll start with a survey of your communications needs and create a map to take us there. Together, we’ll walk through a structured process, analysing and then synthesising the parts of your business to create the foundations for impactful & intuitive expression. 

Whether you're looking for a full-service immersion and brand communications guide, or to develop a custom Tone of Voice, the focus is on cultivating the tools that will make your life easier – and your brand communication sing.

See and understand your business more clearly, so that you can communicate with more authenticity, ease and potency.

James Hudson, Director, Blackbird Byron Bay

"Nicky took the time to really understand our business, market and audience, to demonstrate how we could best position and showcase ourselves. She also devised a distinct Tone of Voice for our brand, which was probably the most important thing we gained from the work. We gained a lot of clarity around language and our strongest selling points. We were also able to feed the work into our existing communications, which deepened relationships with our clients and stakeholders. Nicky’s skills have helped direct very important (although sometimes overlooked) nuances around how the business is presented and heard."

James Schramm, Co-Director, Mat & Kin

"We found having structured content to revisit and implement [in the Brand Strategy] was a really important thing we gained from the process. Throughout, Nicky guided us with well-crafted questions, which helped to refine the vision and added to a more illuminated brand narrative in the end."
