ABOUT

Warm. Friendly. Inviting. These days a logo is merely the representation of your brand. It’s the trigger for a customer reaction – whether friendly and satisfied or reluctant and frustrated. Brands today are all about creating a relationship that engages customers. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, everyone is in the service industry now – customer service.

Brand Champion. The most popular brands give a sense of their personality through advertising, marketing and social media communications. But the real test is when the customer takes the first sip of what you’re brewing. Is it authentic, smooth and delicious? If so, they’ll be back for more. If it’s too strong or bitter, they may never come back. You only get one chance to create a loyal new friend.

Creative Thinking. There are lots of ways to reach out to customers today and BWBD can help you evaluate your brand at every customer touchpoint and then work with you to develop a strategic plan that is creative, appealing in its design, but most of all, on-brand. We’ll even show you how to implement it with your customers and staff.

Based in Tampa, Florida, BWBD has years of experience working on local, regional and national brands in all forms of traditional and new media. Whether you’re looking to build a new brand or refresh your existing brand, BWBD can help you brew up a distinctive, memorable and tasteful brand.

Seems like there’s always something new happening. Here’s some of the latest work.

PORTFOLIO

With over 30 years of experience working in lots of industries and various media channels, there are just too many pieces to show. Here are a few of the most memorable brand projects. If you want to see more or you’re looking for something specific, just drop us a note.

PUTTING MAJOR BRANDS TO THE FIRE.

This blog is focused on major brand campaigns, mainly in the television media. As new campaigns are introduced by major brands the goal is to evaluate the work in light of the brand personality and history. We’ll try to determine the brand strategy, the target, the message and the desired response.

This will be an objective view with no agency insights on strategy or how the work was produced or its effectiveness. It will strictly be an effort to see if by evaluating the finished work the strategy can be discovered / realized. This will not be associated or driven by any agency or company press releases about the work (where the strategy and the goal are usually identified.) This will be a simple pure evaluation of the work based strictly on initial perceptions and reaction to the campaign/s as they air.

Chewy Gives Dogs (And Cats) Something to Talk About.

Chewy makes talking pets so real you’ll wonder why yours don’t. Chewy has built its business as an online pet pharmacy into a force that has caused the brick & mortar suppliers to sit-up, rollover and even play dead. They have built a strong brand, but it has taken years to get to this point. The early brand was nothing special, just getting the name out there, getting people used to the idea. But then covid really helped their sales to soar. Unfortunately, covid did that for many online businesses.  Not unfortunate that their business increased, but because it was due to a pandemic. On the other hand, it was great for all [...]

This New Star Is Beginning to Loose Its Shine

When Polestar’s TV commercial added a VO the brand took a giant  step backward. Polestar, a truly new brand to enter the EV market, came into the US television media with a sleek sophisticated image. The smooth lines of the white car interwoven with clean, modern lines of architecture. The brand looked like a contemporary and perhaps exciting new competitor in the electric vehicle space. Maybe a new startup to rival the Tesla brand which turned electric cars mainstream. Maybe an alternative that would make being a Polestar owner just as cool (or cooler) than the Tesla tribe. The website is sleek and engaging. The prices are more like the early Tesla prices [...]

A campaign with Real Meat.

It takes patience to claim a position that everyone in the category thinks they already own. Arby's is a great example of how a consistent brand message over a long period of time can bring the desired results. But the key is patience. For many brands immediate gratification is the only thing that matters. Branding efforts are expected to make the needle move just like a marketing promotion, except, brand building doesn’t work that way. Brand is not always asking you as the consumer to respond in the moment, only to be aware and connected to the brand so that in the moment of decision the brand comes to mind. Like; “I don’t [...]
