A proven
brand-building
approach
In an era of constant change, a strong brand is one of the few remaining sources of competitive differentiation. The brand is your guiding star and capable of shaping much more than marketing activities. If powerful enough, it will transcend into company values, employee engagement, customer experience, product innovation, strategic ambitions, and growth. We understand people and businesses seek reliability and authenticity from the brands they engage with. And that a strong market position can create lasting connections with its audience.
That is why our approach is built on proven brand-building methods and tools that prioritise insights, prototyping, and testing. Whether it’s at the corporate brand level, across digital touchpoints, for product launches, sustainability communications, employee engagement or beyond – we don’t just focus on incremental change; we strive for bold moves that set our clients apart from their competitors.

A structured process, from framing to activation
Although every client and project is unique, we are dedicated to always applying a structured approach and using our proven process to ensure proper stakeholder involvement, solid insights and impactful results – one that we have refined in all our years of brand-building.
‘Frame the hypothesis’ involves analysing both outside-in and inside-out parameters, setting the stage for a strategic direction. These strategic hypotheses help shape the creative ideas and prototypes designed to explore various potential routes. These are then tested with critical stakeholders, both inside and outside the organisation. From the testing insights, we build the final solution and create the content needed to bring it to life. Finally, the most impactful go-to-market strategy is defined to engage the solution across relevant audiences.
Our beliefs

The philosophy of Corporate Religion and Unique Now...or Never
Jesper Kunde’s books outline a branding philosophy and methodology designed to create strong market postions. He introduced the ‘hurdle race’ logic which has been a guiding philosophy of Kunde & Co ever since. It is a way to illustrate the unique set of challenges a company must overcome to deliver value to its end-customer. In essence, the ‘hurdle race’ cautions us rushing to the finish line. It emphasises the necessity of identifying the optimal strategic path, testing different creative concepts and assessing their impact throughout the entire marketing ecosystem, from product offerings and distribution channels to customer demographics.
