Define, develop and position your brand

Great brands don’t just look good. They shift thinking. Bold strategy. Brave ideas. Brilliant execution.

In energy and decarbonisation, complexity is a given. Your brand shouldn’t add to it.

We help ambitious organisations define who they are, what they stand for and why it matters. Whether you’re scaling fast, shifting direction or sharpening your positioning, we bring clarity and creativity that builds trust, attracts investment and drives engagement.

From brand creation and repositioning to high-impact campaigns and long-term brand building, we’ve helped hundreds of clients bring their story to life, delivering competitive edge, differentiated positioning, and measurable impact.

We develop and position brands from end-to-end and partner with in-house teams to provide frameworks, tools and creative content to nurture and elevate brands over time.

Common challenges we help leaders solve

  • Your brand no longer reflects your ambition or scale
  • Your organisation is hard to distinguish in a competitive market
  • Messaging isn’t landing - or isn’t reaching the right people
  • You need a name, identity and brand proposition for a new organisation
  • You need to rationalise, harmonise or integrate several legacy brands
  • Your creative content is inconsistent and missing the mark

What we do

  • Research and insight

    Start with evidence, not assumptions.

    When your brand needs to show up in the real world.
