Our approach to brand consulting

At Brand Purist, we offer a long-term partnership that covers your brand’s initial creation and ongoing maintenance. We start by deeply understanding your organisation, audience and competitors. Then, we craft a strategy that underpins your brand’s visual identity and messaging. After your brand’s launch, we continue to support you by overseeing both the larger strategy and day-to-day execution. Whether refreshing your visual identity, refining your messaging, or repositioning your brand in the market, we’re here to nurture your brand’s evolution every step of the way.

Brand consulting examples

We’ve consulted many brands over the years, helping them stand out from the competition and resonate with audiences. Here are a couple of examples:

Tattoo parlour-themed denim jacket customisation area at Levi’s Regent Street location. Guests personalising tote bags at an ASOS pop-up event. Ralph Lauren shop offering polo shirt personalisation using YR’s tech. T-shirt customisation at Adidas’ Harajuku location in Tokyo.

YR: product customisation pioneers

YR is a pioneer in product customisation and on-demand production. With global offices, they partner with leading brands in retail, fashion and ecommerce. Brand Purist has been YR’s branding partner since 2012. We have evolved, reinvented and refocused the brand throughout this journey to keep YR relevant and resonant with audiences at the intersection of fashion and technology.

Shape Beyond: disruptor consultancy

We partnered with ASOS’s former CFO, Helen Ashton, to create a mould-breaking, dynamic brand for her new company. Our initial brand sprint was instrumental in rapidly launching Shape Beyond, focusing on essential deliverables such as logo assets, email signatures, social media designs and a fully operational website. Our continued partnership involves offering strategic branding advice, crafting compelling brand messaging, and providing ongoing design services.
