SQLI'S 3-HOUR DIGITAL BRANDING ASSESSMENT

Inspired by organisations like Google and great thinkers like Steve Jobs, we have designed a 3-hour branding assessment to identify opportunities in your digital channels. We squeezed several exercises into just three hours, because more time doesn’t necessarily yield to better results. This also means that you can involve the people who really need to be there. The goal of these exercises is to translate abstract idea of your brand into a solid foundation for digital brand assets: a common online design language and Online Style Guide or Design System.

The exercises

The brand sprint relies on doing activities on posters and whiteboards, but we also run them virtually so that everybody can stay safe. That makes it also very suitable for doing the already short brand sprint online, making it even more efficient. In the 3 hours we will facilitate a sprint that consists of six exercises.

Roadmap: think long-term
Fundamental purpose: why – how - what
Competitive landscape: differentiation
Top 3 values: competitive advantage
Top 3 audiences: prioritize targets
Brand attitude & style: personality

The result of the SQLI 3-hour Digital Branding assessment will be shared with your marketing department to take it onwards or is used as a starting point for Online Design and to lay the foundation for a strong Design system.
