At firefly180, we specialize in building progressive brands. This brand work can be found at the core of our green ad campaigns, health and wellness campaigns, LOHAS consumer campaigns, yoga marketing and social change messaging in the music industry.At the center of each brand is a clear and cohesive messaging platform. It serves as a rock-solid foundation from which to jump or dive into the marketplace.
A messaging platform will appear extraordinarily simple, yet it's a simplicity that emerges from a swirl of complexity.
It encompasses the essence of who you are, who you serve, and how you do it. It includes concepts and ideas that most closely represent your organization and its core values. It should resonate on an intellectual and emotional level so your platform can be developed into key words or phrases that become part of your conversation every time you describe what you sell or do.
Your messaging platform shouldn't change from month to month or year to year. So invest the time. The money. And the expertise to get it right. You wouldn't set sail in a boat, blindfolded, with no map, compass, fuel or means to communicate—so why would you launch your brand without being anything but fully prepared.
