Brand Strategy Agency Hiring Guide

What is a brand strategy agency?

A brand strategy agency specializes in positioning a company and its products in niche markets to create a positive impression on target customers. In doing so, it improves brand recognition, credibility, and loyalty. 

Brand strategy is critical because 88% of consumers find authenticity a key factor when deciding which brands they support. Additionally, businesses with consistent branding report a revenue growth of up to 20%

Creating a successful brand strategy has unique challenges and difficulties, including: 

  • Audience perception: Businesses need extensive market research and analysis to develop a brand strategy that resonates strongly with audiences. 
  • Competitive Landscape: Differentiating your business in a crowded marketplace is a constant challenge, requiring an innovative brand strategy and a compelling unique selling proposition (USP). 
  • Consistency across channels: Maintaining consistent messaging and branding across various offline and online platforms is crucial for building credibility and powerful brand recall. 
  • Staying relevant: Brands must continually adapt to changing market trends, consumer preferences, and cultural shifts to remain relevant and appeal to their target audience. 
  • Managing brand reputation: With the rise of social media and online reviews, brands need to actively manage their reputation, swiftly addressing negative feedback or crises that may arise. 
  • Globalization: Brands operating in multiple markets must consider cultural nuances and regional preferences to ensure their messaging resonates effectively. 

Here’s a case study to illustrate these points. MIND GAMES is a luxury fragrance line that aims to empower customers by reminding them of a time they conquered a challenge or competition. However, the company had a fragmented brand identity and no website, so it hired the brand strategy firm Lounge Lizard. 

Lounge Lizard developed a consistent brand story and identity and used these to build a customized eCommerce website for the client. It told the story of each product, created videos and animations, implemented search engine optimization (SEO) strategies, and planned for the brand’s future growth. 

Within a month, MIND GAMES recorded 6,200 new users, increased engagement by 93%, and saw a 13% new user growth week-over-week. 

What do brand strategy companies do?

A brand strategy company develops and implements customized marketing and advertising strategies to establish a business in a specific market. This includes understanding the business’s unique needs and goals, creating a brand identity and message, and helping define its unique selling proposition (USP). 

The various services of a brand strategy firm include the following: 

  • Brand audit 
  • Market research 
  • Visual identity design 
  • Brand strategy development 
  • Brand positioning 
  • Rebranding 
  • Brand launch  
  • Omnichannel marketing 
  • Branded campaigns and promotions 
  • Brand workshop 
  • Advertising campaigns 

How much do brand strategy services cost?

Brand strategy services cost $15,500 minimum for a campaign. The top 50 brand strategy agencies on DesignRush charge an average hourly rate of $142. 21.8% of the agencies accept a minimum project rate of $1,000, and 2.2% accept at least $50,000. 

Below is a breakdown of brand strategy agency pricing

  • Brand identity: $1,000 - $5,000 
  • Market research: $1,000 - $7,000 
  • Logo design: $2,000 - $8,000 
  • Visual style guide: $2,500 - $5,000 
  • Editorial style guide: $1,500 - $4,000 
  • Brand book: $3,000 - $4,000 
  • Website design and development: $5,000 - $30,000 

The price can increase if you add brand launch, content marketing, advertising campaign, social media marketing, and other services to your brand strategy package. 

Why should I hire a brand strategy agency?

You should hire a brand strategy agency because they have the experience and expertise to effectively position your brand in niche markets, improve customer relationships, and drive long-term business growth. They also have the tools and technology to deliver data-driven insights for your brand. 

  • Leverage branding expertise and experience: Brand strategy firms have the skill and knowledge to develop a unique brand identity, effectively position it in the market, and drive awareness and equity.  
  • Be unforgettable:  Stories are 22 times more memorable than facts or statistics. As experts, brand strategy companies are well-versed in telling a brand’s story to ensure it engages target audiences.  
  • Improve customer relationships:  66% of consumers value a brand’s trustworthiness, and 30% say they would not use the product of a brand they don’t trust. Aside from creating content and graphics that resonate with target customers, brand strategy agencies include trust markers to improve customer relationships and establish credibility. These include using customer reviews, testimonies, and awards in campaign materials. 
  • Position your business for long-term growth: The world’s top 100 brands have increased their aggregate value by 22% in the past year, totaling $8.7 trillion. Brand strategy firms plan for the long term to ensure your brand remains relevant and at the top of your customer’s minds. 
  • Gain measurable results: Being data-driven is a must for brand strategy agencies. They use data and analytics to understand what’s working and what isn’t and adjust their strategies accordingly to deliver optimal results.  

A case study demonstrating the benefits of hiring a brand strategy agency is when Unison Infrastructure worked with Digital Silk. Unison Infrastructure had numerous subsidiaries across Europe and the U.S., but its branding and messaging were inconsistent. Because of this, it had poor brand recognition and target audiences and potential employees could not differentiate it from its competitors.  

Digital Silk created a strategic roadmap, aligning Unison Infrastructure’s brand identity with its goals and market positioning. The brand strategy agency also created a branding deck, unified brand architecture, and a new logo that connected the main brand with its subsidiaries. 

Within six months, Unison Infrastructure enhanced brand visibility by 11.76%, increased retention rates by 146.91%, and improved user experience (UX) by 26.29%. 

How do I choose the best brand strategy firm?

You can choose the best brand strategy firm that meets your needs by following these steps: 

  1. Define your business needs: Do you need a brand strategy to launch or push a particular product or for the entire business? Outline your vision for your brand, your ideal target customers, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals, budget, and timeline. 
  2. Conduct market research: Know your customer’s preferences and see how competing businesses brand themselves. Create a list of dos and don’ts for your own brand strategy and collect campaign examples that you want to emulate. 
  3. Search for potential partners: Look at online rankings, articles, and marketing directories for potential brand strategy firms. Focus on those with relevant experience in your industry and have handled your target customers. 
  4. Consider the type of service you want: Some brand strategy companies are more research-oriented, while others are design-focused. Shortlist agencies that will provide your required services and align with your goals and vision. 
  5. Think about agency size: A boutique agency can be more affordable and flexible. In contrast, a big brand strategy firm can provide more comprehensive branding and marketing services. 
  6. Review their credentials: Check client testimonials, online reviews, case studies, portfolio, and awards and recognitions to gain insight into their approach, work ethic, and proven experience. Prioritize those with a clear process and deliver measurable results. 
  7. Send a request for proposal (RFP): Outline your project requirements to your shortlisted brand strategy agencies. See if their response demonstrates a clear understanding of your brand and what you need. 
  8. Schedule an interview: Ask questions about the expertise and experience of the agency and how well they understand your industry and branding vision. Prioritize agencies that align with your values and show that they are invested in your brand’s success. 
  9. Understand their communication style: Observe if the agency responds to your inquiries quickly, values your input, encourages collaboration, and takes time to understand your needs and wants. Because you are building your brand together, you should choose an agency that acts like a true partner. 
  10. Choose your agency: Once decided, contact the brand strategy agency and discuss project details, contract terms, and payment plans.
