Strategy + Creativity 🤝
Building a brand is not hard, but keeping the role of brand building simple and effective is. Finding things that are different and better, that are hard for other brands to do. The choices a brand makes is what creates its clarity, impact and real-world results.
Marketing has to drive growth which means 'fitting' the brand into a mosaic of different places and channels, each with their own objectives and demands. Great brands are like lighthouses—seen, trusted and ever-present.
This tension between being flexible and holding firm to enduring brand values is where strategic choices become critical. Success lies in knowing when and what to change without diluting what its brand stands for amid the noise. Brands are now continuously balancing the short-term demands of engagement with the long-term pursuit of brand equity at scale.
And Rising was the UK's first creative agency B Corporation—a movement of companies that actively balance people, profit and planet towards a more equitable and sustainable society.
