We use our Brand Calibration process as a comprehensive exploration and assessment of your overall marketplace, competitive and company communications, and pertinent business information. This process enables SFA to deliver an enduring brand platform for a company to utilize as its strategic roadmap for continued growth.
This allows our clients to better communicate their brand value proposition, with defined communications and marketing strategies that will enable them to sell to prospects from a position of strength.
The Brand Calibration Process is comprised of four separate Phases:
Articulating The Brand To Sales Teams and Employees
Phase I: Research and Analysis
SFA will conduct:
Company Self-Promotional and Selling Materials Review
Competitive Self-Promotional and Selling Materials Review
State-of-the-Industry and Trend Information Review
Key Employee Audit
On-Site Facility, Conference and Sales Meeting Visits
Key Customer Audit
Phase II: SFA Strategic Development
SFA utilizes its aggregate findings to formulate our Strategic Calibration Recommendations. Included in this Phase is the development of concept graphic brand communications tools that exemplify the recommended strategic brand platform.
In this Phase, SFA delivers our findings in the form of:
Company and marketplace overviews
Competitive overview, value propositions and recent advancements
Trends – current and future, domestic and international
Target audience assessments
Company value proposition(s)
Company definition and brand position
Elevator speeches
Creative concept materials that graphically define the company
Go-to-market strategies
Implementation scheduling
Phase IV: Articulating The Brand Internally
At this point, SFA presents the new Strategic Brand Platform to a group of senior and key sales, product, project and customer service managers, including dealers.
After all four Phases have been conducted and agreed upon, SFA will develop all associated marketing materials and programs.
