building brands with purposebuilding brands with purposeWe work with you to develop a marketing plan that will deliver increased brand awareness and sales.
We have developed such plans for many companies across Southern Africa and within diverse sectors. Our approach works across many types of businesses because we stick to the core principles of effective marketing that applies everywhere.
Creating a strong brand is always desired but not often achieved. Brand Identity is more than just a Logo, it’s the fibre and feel of your business which means people can pick you out from a crowd of competitors. Much like DNA it’s complex to create, but when done properly, it prints a permanent, unique stamp on everything you do.
Brand strategy builds on a vision, is aligned with your business strategy, emerges from a company’s values and culture, and reflects an in-depth understanding of your customer’s needs and perceptions. We build brands that clearly define your positioning, differentiation and competitive advantage.
We love brands that tell a story, packaging that excites, websites that convert, and campaigns that engage.
At the Rod Marketing we invest in a half-day session facilitated by us, we will work with your team to get to the heart of who you are and why you matter. The result is a clear and concise understanding of your brand. We are big enough to flex to the largest projects but small enough to give you direct dialogue with the team at every stage. The best results come from the closest collaborations, and our clients have access to everything we have to offer. So how do you make sure your branding is telling the right story? Whether starting from scratch or rebranding, a well-thought-out brand strategy is a cornerstone for any business wanting to make a lasting impression.
You can see it, touch it, hold it, hear it and watch it move. Design fuels market recognition and increases differentiation and makes brand ideas accessible. Design identity takes separate elements and unifies them into a system. The Rod Marketing focus is creating and executing lasting design strategies for our clients, that build strong and memorable brands.
A great name says it all. They shed light on your product or service. They’re captivating and memorable, protracted on lips and in brains. We’re talking about names, slogans, and taglines—the three crown gems of brand writing. And in a marketplace filled with similarity, they matter more than ever. Having named a handful of companies, a couple of brands, and a few dozen products and services, we are confident that our naming process offers unique benefits:
