Client: Accelerated Strategic Realization, Inc. This client work started with brand positioning focus usining our Brand U process. Culminating in a service name embodying what their clients valued most--their ability to quickly move a client forward toward acheiving the client's defined strategic objectives. Our design needed to be very "corporate" in nature. We chose to communicate action through color density, moving from foggy beginnings on the left side of the image to full density on the right, doing the same with accentuation of stronger colors on the right or "forward" button end of the control panel.

Client: Kenneth A Banks Marketing. This client wanted to use his own initials to forshorten the name of his company, present a contemporary, "outside the box" image, yet include elements of boldness that would communicate a "solid" feel about the firm.
Client: Team-U-Turns  As a division of TeamTech, Inc, Team-U-Turns was both a naming and design project that came after our brand positioning project. This business unit was focussed through our positioning work to target organizational clients who were counterproductive due to dysfunctional teams. Our positioning statement, "The Performance Turnaround Experts" brought their service, target benefit and expertise all together in four words. The name and the logo design completed the communication connection for the target market, allowing both the company and the potential clients to qualify their fit factors quickly.

Client:
Smith & Hopen, Intellectual Property Attorneys.
Our challenge: to develop a look that would immediately distinguish their materials from their competitors, present a contemporary image and a progressive "feel" yet posesses a certain conservatism with flair.

Strategic Design
We are often asked to do corporate identity work. We offer those services, but typically for our branding clients--meaning if we are engaged as branding consultants or coaches, and working with a client through the strategic focussing aspects of branding, the identity design work becomes a power extension of the services we offer.

The logo design work we do often extends into individual product identity, and at times full corporate identity systems and supporting guidlines for use throughout the organization.

The Strategic Design Advantage
Just as we maintain a n underlying philosophy of communicating clear-cut value and benefit to your clients in our brand positioning work, this same philosophy carries through to our design. We are sensitive to design elements that communicate both directly and subliminally to your target market. Colors, type styles, application and use in media are taken into account along with your strategic and competitive position in the marketplace. The result is something that not only works because tyou like it, but works for connecting and reinforcing your relationship with your target market.

Our Fees
We are not inexpensive, and never compete on price. We are cost effective. And our clients always walk happy with our final product. We typically quote based upon the scope of the project. We do not respond to RFP's,

Our Own Brands
No brand posirtioning firm would be legitimate without carefully crafting their own logos and identity system. Ours appear throughout this website. These designs further demonstrate our abilities to communicate through solid brand design.

Our Clients Value
The feedback we get from our clients is continual appreciation for the uniqueness of our designs when compared to their cometition and to our other clients. We continually start with a fresh piece of paper, offer a myriad of design solutions to choose from, and continually apply marketing thinking--the branding perspective-- to our clients'work.

One client recently said, "I have had 10 designs over the course of my 15+ years in business, but none of them have been talked about like the work from The Advisory Team."

We appreciate the opportunity to apply sound creativity to our clients' strategic objectives and competitive pressures.

Client: The Peoplemap, Inc. The challenge for this client was to take an already well-known process--The Peoplemap-- and take the disparate look of many disjointed intruments into packaging that communicated the credibility of this project to the intended high level corporate HR client. Our use of the stylized globe, which also becomes a ghost image in many other collateral pieces, reinforces the map concept, and the four people icons reinforce the four personality types used in the process. Lillibridge is the originator of the process and while important to include, remains small enough to avoid confusion with the easily repeatable "Peoplemap" moniker.

This client's business using this identity system was rolled out nationally and continues to grow by almost 200% per year in client base and revenues.
