      What a branding agency delivers today

      Branding today is more than a logo update. It is the operating system for how a company shows up in market — the story it tells, the assets it uses, the behaviors it triggers. In fragmented media environments, distinctive brand assets are the compounding advantage that separates category leaders from commodity players.

      Davies Meyer combines behavioral insight, strategic clarity and craft. We start with the question: what should this brand mean to real people, and what will make them choose it? From there we build strategy, identity, naming and brand systems that scale across channels and time.

      Our approach is pragmatic: fewer decks, more decisions, and outputs your team can actually ship — from design tokens to editorial guidelines to campaign playbooks.

      Our approach in 5 steps

      A process that connects strategy, execution and measurement.

      01

      Discovery & Insight

      Stakeholder interviews, category analysis, behavioral research and competitive audit — grounded in market data.

      02

      Positioning & Strategy

      Positioning, purpose, promise, personality and story architecture aligned with business strategy.

      03

      Identity & Naming

      Logo, wordmark, color, typography, motion, sound and imagery — plus naming where needed.

      04

      Design & Brand System

      Design tokens, component libraries, editorial guidelines and campaign frameworks — implementation-ready.

      05

      Launch & Enablement

      Launch campaign, internal training, brand governance model and quarterly reviews.

      Services & disciplines

      Integrated pillars — delivered by one senior team.

      Brand Strategy

      Positioning, purpose, values, story architecture and go-to-market narrative.

      Identity & Naming

      Launch campaigns, internal enablement, guidelines and templates so the brand shows up consistently.

      FAQ

      When is a rebrand worth it?

      When your positioning has shifted, when the brand no longer matches the business, when customers cannot distinguish you from competitors, or when merging entities under one identity. Not because the CEO wants a new logo.

      How long does a rebrand take?

      Strategy 4–6 weeks, identity 6–10 weeks, system 4–8 weeks, rollout 3–12 months depending on scope. Full brand programs typically run 4–9 months.

      What does a rebrand cost?

      Focused identity refreshes start around €40,000. Full strategy, identity and system programs range from €100,000 to €500,000+ depending on scale, markets and asset scope.

      Do you also do naming?

      Yes — brand, product and feature naming including linguistic checks, trademark screening (with legal partners) and stakeholder testing.

      How do you measure brand success?

      Brand tracking (awareness, consideration, preference), distinctive asset recognition, share of search, share of voice and pricing power over time.

      Do you work with in-house design teams?

      Frequently. We often partner with in-house teams for strategy and system design, then hand over for day-to-day execution with clear governance.

      A brand that compounds

      We start by understanding the business, category and customer — and shape a brand that keeps paying back.
