Brand Identity Design: Making Monday Fun For All.

Case Study – Hello Monday2020-04-06T15:26:40+12:00

Hello Monday: Brand identity design.

When you are able to take a business philosophy, brand strategy and create a unique brand identity design, you have magic. When the story is so compelling that it generation conversation immediately you know that the business will grow.

The idea of Monday strikes fear into many an employee and leader, but what if the opposite of that fear became part of your company strategy?

As a new business it is so important to create an authentic story that connects with your staff and your potential customers. When working to develop the Hello Monday name and brand identity design we looked at the value proposition the client wanted to deliver.

Imagine you had such a great culture and team that every Monday they embraced it and yelled; Hello Monday. It’s wrapped up in the ability of the Hello Monday team to help you find and support the very best people and connect them with your culture and vision.

Beyond that there is the brand essence that became very practical to help the sales process. Each day we had a colour and business card assigned, the principle wore that colour shirt and tie. This become the talking point behind the name and therefore the physical manifestation of the brand itself and the value it added.

With this brand strategy, it created an enduring set of principles to grow the business by that are just as strong today as they were on day one.

Building a Resilient Team Workshop

Product – L – Building a Resilient Team Workshop2020-04-06T12:42:36+12:00

Building A
Resilient Team

Workshop

+ Online Learning or
+ Half-day delivery (Face to face/Zoom conference)

This workshop helps you explore and understand how resilience in your leadership team is critical to drive positive outcomes under any circumstances.

Focusing on creating your vision and values to build team resilience we look at what it will take to create a team that understands what is required to work together to achieve any goal.

Who is the workshop for?

Business owners with their hands on the steering wheel passionate about business transformation with up to 20 staff.

What is resilience?

Adversity is a fact of life. Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to be knocked down by life and come back at least as strong as before. Rather than letting difficulties or failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise.

Psychologists have identified some of the factors that make a person resilient, such as a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions, and the ability to see failure as a form of helpful feedback. Research shows that optimism helps blunt the impact of stress on the mind and body in the wake of disturbing experiences. And that gives people access to their own cognitive resources, enabling cool-headed analysis of what might have gone wrong and consideration of behavioral paths that might be more productive.

Resilience is not some magical quality; it takes real mental work to transcend hardship. But even after misfortune, resilient people are able to change course and move toward achieving their goals. There’s growing evidence that the elements of resilience can be cultivated.

What will it cover?

+ Individual personality profiling (Prep)*
+ Reviewing your vision and values
+ Create your team of super heroes
+ Gain a clear understanding of resilience
+ Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset
+ Learn real-time skills in bounce back and recovery
+ Finding a balance operating state
+ Alignment of purpose and goals
+ Understand basics of emotional intelligence
+ Understand your emotions and how develop
+ Recognising how to focus through movement
+ Increasing your ability to operate in ‘Flow’ state
+ Develop a personal and team resilience plan

“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving,
we get stronger and more resilient.”

Leadership Coaching & Development Programs

Leadership2020-04-06T15:38:56+12:00

Effective leadership means working on yourself as much as your team.

Effective leadership means working on yourself as much as your team.

Ongoing leadership development is critical to maintain sustainable growth.

Being a great leader means setting direction and ensuring your team fully understand your company vision and feel empowered by their individual contributions towards an agreed goal. Have you got the team behind you? Does your team fully understand your vision?

You can be a great leader if you choose to be. The critical mistake many people make is not understanding the difference between management and leadership.

As the demands of the workforce evolve and change, the skills of business leaders will become increasingly important. No longer can you build a business from a spreadsheet and production units.

A manager owns the process, leaders understand where the process will take them. Leadership development is a never-ending process that cannot be short cut or faked. Great leaders understand both their influence and themselves and must learn how to maximise those traits to guide and support others.

.fusion-button.button-1 {border-radius:2px;}DOWNLOAD YOUR SELF AWARENESS LEADERSHIP ASSESSMENT TOOL

Your people will continue to be your greatest asset and they are looking to you to lead from the front. Are you ready? Do you have the skills? Do you have a clear vision to share?

Your team will look to you to provide a vision that has meaning, that moves both them and you. It allows you to enable them to be the best of themselves and therefore create the best types of companies.

If you lack vision and purpose, then guess what; you are simply managing outcomes.
Leadership can be learned, but that comes with time and most importantly you need to put yourself into the arena and lean into the discomfort. Resilience is the superpower that all leaders must master. And to master, you must do.

This checklist is a quick gut check to ensure you are putting the tools in place to be able to be the best leader you can be.

Branding is the position you hold in the mind of your customers.

Our brand values workshop has been developed for founders and leaders that feel their brand isn’t connecting as effectively as
it can with key stakeholders.

When you are leading a business through change it is easy to take your eye off the ball and operate within business as usual. But the health of your brand is critical for you, your team and your customers.

The heartbeat of your brand should be felt throughout your entire organisation. From you customer feedback to the impression you leave when a customer interacts with you.

+ Discovery process through interviews (As required)
+ Audit and reporting on findings aligned to company brand strategy.

CAVZERO Product Branding by Waking Giants

Case Study – CAVZERO2020-04-06T15:24:17+12:00

CAVZERO: Product branding to launch a new Cavity Slider range.

Hallmark identified a new opportunity in the cavity slider market. So they set about developing the product branding, supported by a new sub-brand to sit within their current brand architecture.

With over 25 years experience in the manufacturing of doors in New Zealand, Hallmark Group know a thing or two about what works and what doesn’t.

Working with current clients and feedback from the architectural market, Hallmark set about creating a better product to meet the installation needs of the industry and the aesthetic needs of the consumer.

Using the technical drawings of the new device we developed a new brand identity to align with the product, their current brand strategy and their evolving brand architecture.

One of the most critical elements of the process was the securing of key IP both on and offline with a specialist IP lawyer to build equity in the brand and the product itself. It is important to work beyond the creative and apply a commercial eye to the projects that we work on to ensure our clients long term strategy is supported.

Lead Generation Online

Program

+ Identify core audience online
+ Campaign setup & management
+ Automated sales funnels & nurturing

Don’t sell a product or service, instead, help solve a problem or achieve a goal.

Our online lead generation program is designed with the answers to your customers problems. It enables you to connect with the right customers at scale, online, 24/7.

Who is the program for?

For founders or leadership teams that are looking to scale their sales leads online. It is not about being everywhere, but being where your core customers can make a purchase from you.

The Program

STEP ONE: Identify Customer Pain

Understand how to convey the value in your product or service to your customers beyond price. But through trust, branding and social proof.
By identifying what the core pain point your offering solves, we are able to communicate value upfront, before a transaction has even been considered. Key to the process is also to review what the competition is doing and identify missed opportunity that you can benefit from.

+ Keyword research
+ Content development and offers*
+ Competitor analysis
+ Identify customer segments

STEP TWO: Know Your Channels

In this step we identify where your customers “hang out” online and the tone and language that will resonate and attract them to your brand. This ensures we chose the correct channels to engage your potential customers and guide them towards a conversion.

+ Client channel identification
+ Media budgets established*

STEP THREE: Create Online Strategy Roadmap

Based on the data from your customer and channel analysis, it’s time to create your lead generation strategy. This includes your audience journey, campaign timelines and messaging.

+ Strategic plan
+ Traffic funnel flow/journey
+ Campaign setup**
+ Messaging
+ Launch campaign

STEP FOUR: Analyse Your Numbers

Once your campaign has launched we will start analysing the data from your lead generation activity. It is critical to understand what the data is telling you. Then using that information to optimise your campaigns is where the magic happens.

+ Analyse campaign data
+ Optimise campaign
+ Campaign reporting against kpis

STEP FIVE: Ongoing Management

Campaigns can be managed and optimised on a longer term basis. This enables the identification of new audiences, new keyword trends, new platforms, and the ongoing management of where media budgets are best utilised. We recommend campaigns to be focused on a three month timeline minimum. As you know more about your market, you can adapt and increase your competitive advantage at pace.

+ Ongoing campaign management***

*Budgets will be recommended but are ultimately decided by you. **At this stage we do not know what key assets you will require to be delivered (if any). This will be quoted more accurately as part of the strategy roadmap. ***Ongoing campaign management is optional.

Australian Grand Prix Series Event Branding by Waking Giants

Case Study – Australian Grand Prix2020-04-06T11:32:56+12:00

Australian Grand Prix: Event Branding.

The coolest new event to hit the Australian Running calendar! The Bend Half Marathon is part of the Australian Half GP Series so channel your inner race car and stride around the amazing GP Circuit at The Bend Motorsport Park.

The creation of The Bend event branding was part of a long-term strategy to develop a series of new and festival-like running events throughout Australia.

Their goal is to create an event brand that was able to have a unique brand personality for each event but also connect as a series. Running on a race track is not new, but the series is. With so many running events globally and a thriving and growing running community, there is more pressure to create different experiences for all levels of ability.

Event Branding
Event Branding

The event branding wasn’t the only consideration for the success off this new event. Running or event websites are notoriously clunky and hard for participants to use and sign up. Our goal for the online brand strategy was the ability for runners to quickly understand the value of the event, get all of the information they need and sign up and therefore convert easily and quickly.

The initial push for traffic was organic and group posting on Facebook which in turn created social awareness in the running community around the event. With no history, the event tickets started to sell with little friction due to the customer journey being design with the actual customer in mind, runners! And no media spend.

The power of community along with careful market analysis set the brand off on a natural course for success.
