Vive believes brands are built by hammering home consistent messaging.


Generate Awareness
Sometimes just talking aloud in a group setting can bring forth concepts and ideas that would’ve never blossomed elsewhere.
Identify Characteristics
The Zweck Analysis® hones in on key brand characteristics that help differentiate your brand from your competitors.
Implement Customer-Driven
Voice
Every company needs a boilerplate – approximately 100 words or less that serve as your elevator pitch. Think press releases, LinkedIn profiles, trade show directories, etc.
Chat with Customers
Our secret blend of thoughtful and engaging questions helps us identify what your customers believe to be your strengths and weaknesses.
Find Differentiation
Feedback from the customer interview process combined with aspects of the internal analysis lets Vive witness the cream rising to the top.
Report Authentic Findings
In an on-site meeting with leadership, you truly learn how you’re currently being perceived by your customers. This step is crucial AND fun.

External Analysis

Develop a Marketing
Message Platform
Combine Feedback
Taking the internal and external analysis, Vive creates your go-to verbiage that perfectly describes your company in a nutshell.
Establish Foundation of
Communications
Once developed, your unique marketing message platform is implemented throughout all media channels with a consistent voice. Don’t speak out of both sides of your mouth!
Highlight Unique Differentiators
If you omitted your company’s name from your boilerplate, would you still know it’s you? The difference between good and great lies in a marketing message that is distinctly different than your competitors.
Build a Tailored Marketing Approach
This is where the fun begins! All the hard work we put in during the first few phases finally begins to pay off when Vive builds marketing materials based on your new messaging.
Reinforce Consistent Brand Messaging
Whether it’s the web, social media, a printed piece of collateral, an advertisement, or anything else you can think of – your message remaining consistent will build trust in your brand.
Manage Brand Perception
See above. Consistent messaging means YOU dictate your brand perception, every day, building equity in your brand.
