Within your crazy and super competitive marketing environment, do you want your
brand to survive, grow or thrive?
We want to help brands thrive, in other words consistently outperform other substitute
brands. In order to help us to do, we have created a multi-tiered growth strategy
programme called Thrive Strategy. It is inspired by Design Thinking, Systemic

The modern market environment is become
more and more competitive.
This competitiveness is driven by increased
speed of innovation, technology, audience
exposure, growth and awareness. This means
that we need to shift our thinking in regards to
how we construct brands, grow brands and
even why we develop brands.
This change in environment is one of the core
drivers behind us developing Thrive Strategy
thinking.
Thrive Strategy 9
The Why of Thrive Strategy? 3
Thrive Strategy is inspired by Design Thinking, Systemic Thinking, Social Sciences and
Strategic thinking and is a four-tired strategic methodology.
We believe that sound brand strategy should be built on four platforms, 1) making the brand
more human centred/ or inspired, 2) developing societal impact, 3) stakeholder relationship or
favouritism and 4) long term sustainable strategic thinking or constant innovation.
We believe that brands that which embrace these strategic foundations not only outperform
other brands within a ecosystem, but is consistently thriving.

Simple one dimensional communication strategies or promotional drives are no longer
enough to grow or develop a brand - we need long term integrated strategic programmes
that will create brands, brand narrative and offerings that truly resonate with people and
that will lead to powerful memory structure and significant changes in behaviour towards
your brand and as a final outcome, increased attachment with your brand.

The thing that makes Thrive Strategy different, is the intellectual property that is
embedded within the methodology, i.e. the processes and models used to make the
methodology work.
Behind every output is a specific model that has been carefully constructed and
developed in order to give us a more robust and scientific output.
The models are based on social sciences such as psychology, sociology and
neurological process and research. Using these models helps us to utilise the existing
research brands have far more effectively to find and define powerful meaning platforms,
messages, narrative and in the end works together to more effectively help us to build
better memory structure and attachment and more effectively activating these memory
structure, turning memory into behaviour.
It is our use of human centred modelling that makes us different as a strategic
partnership.
