BRAND STRATEGY
& POSITIONING
A brand strategy that ends up in a drawer
is not a strategy.
Together with you, we define what your brand stands for, who it is for and which role it can credibly play in the culture of your audience. Then we turn that into a brand platform your whole organisation can work with.
For brands that want more than cheaper or better.
We work for mid-sized brands, challenger brands and founder-led companies. We start by deep diving into your context: your brand, your market and above all the people you want to reach. Then we define your positioning, build your brand world and, where needed, translate it into a visual and verbal identity. And then the real work begins: activating, adjusting and measuring, following our six steps.
What do you get?
A distinctive positioning, a strong brand platform to build on, clear choices your team understands and measurable goals from day one.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between brand strategy and positioning?
Positioning is the place your brand takes in the mind of your audience, compared to the competition. Brand strategy is broader: it also defines how you live up to that position in your communication, your products, your stores and your partnerships.
When does a brand need a new brand strategy?
When you lose customers without knowing why, when you only compete on price, when your company has grown or changed but your brand hasn’t, or when your team can no longer explain in one sentence what the brand stands for.
How long does a strategy project take?
That depends on the scope. We start with a conversation about your business goals and then agree on a realistic timeline with milestones.
Does Defiant also do rebranding?
Yes. A rebrand always starts with the strategy: what needs to change and why. Then we translate that into a visual and verbal identity, and into the first campaigns and experiences.
