The first thing we ever learned about branding is that a brand is more than a logo. In fact, some students of the discipline have defined brand as the totality of experiences, feelings, memories, and associations that someone might have with a product or service. As such, we believe that brands begin as empty vessels into which we, the agency, and you, the client, and them, the customer, pour meaning.
Strategy is a lot of things to a lot of people. It is the art of planning and executing to achieve a desired outcome or goal. It involves collecting information, analyzing insights, identifying opportunities and threats, and developing a plan of action that will to a well-defined objective. Work with us on strategy and together we’ll create a clear vision, define goals, and take purposeful steps towards achieving them.

At BS LLC, we are driven by a desire to never stop learning, questioning, and discovering. For each new project we take on, we design a specific research approach that allows us to look deeply at the subject through four lenses: the client’s current authority (their product, service, values, identity), the client’s competitive set, the client’s audience or customers, and the cultural context in which the client finds themself. This 4-way method of researching new projects underpins all other creative and strategic endeavors. We believe art can be anything, but design has to be something, and technology is a mirror and a tool to be harnessed.
