To find the brand. The correct fit. According to who you are, your services, how you would like to be perceived.
This is our challenge and our passion.
Having a name, but no identity, our client had been growing extremingly fast, their branding had been put on hold, so when they contacted us, they really needed "everything".
We created a logo and a brand platform on which we based the development of their visual identity - and elaborated a brand style guide / brand manual. The brand manual is a wonderful tool to facilitate the communication keeping the guidelines in mind so everything is created in the same tone of voice. This will create a strong brand. Packaging - fish box - was created based on the new visual identity and also graphic elements (the symbol in the logo) were used to decorate their location / office.
And we created their slogan: True stories.

​
What is a brand?
​
​
1. The brand promise
A brand is a promise to your clients. What will your clients get when they purchase your product or service? The brand promise incorporates more than the product and service itself. It also includes the feeling that your customers get when they use your products and services. Your brand promises something to your clients. Like safety, strength, quality and so on.
​​
Perle's mission is to help you create these feelings - to move people.​
​​​
2. The brand perceptions
Brands are built by consumers, not companies. It's the way consumers perceive a brand that defines it. It doesn't matter what you think your brand promises. The only thing that matters is how your clients perceive your brand.
​​​
Perle's mission is to help you develop consumer perceptions that reflect your brand as you would like it to be.​
​​​
3. The brand expectations
Based on your brand promise, your clients develop expectations for your brand. When they purchase your product or service, they assume their expectations for your brand will be met. They must not be disappointed, then you'll loose them to competitors.
​​​​
Perle's mission is to help you give promises you can fulfill.
​​​​​​
4. The brand persona
Every brand has a persona. Think of your brand as a person. What is that person like? What can you expect when you interact with that person? From appearance to personality - and all in between - your brand persona is one that your clients will evaluate and judge before they do business with you.
​​​
Perle's mission is to help you define and create this person.
​​​​​
5. The brand elements
Brand logo, messaging, packaging and so on. All of these elements must work together to consistently communicate your brand promise, shape brand perceptions, meet brand expectations, and define your brand persona. If one element is not ok, your entire brand can suffer.
​​
Perle's mission is to do research so you don't waste your time taking your brand in a direction that won't allow you to reach goals.
- Perle must understand the competitors and audience, to help you develop a brand that promises the right things to the right people.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

It is the design of interactions, experiences, processes and strategies and is the point at which people, knowledge, products, services, processes and profitability meet vision and endless possibilities. Perle aims to abstract reasoning in any given environment, to quickly be able to understand the underlying motivations of key players, root-causes of failure, as well as feeling and connecting with the human elements that any system, experience or interaction has on its users.
Perle's philosophy and creative process
- are based on a conceptual approach | global view where innovative thinking, critical thought, experimenting and collaborations are key.
