Brand Strategy

Without a beacon, it can be challenging work to uncover Valpo’s true essence. So that’s what our strategy is: a light that illuminates our mission and core values, so that we know how to express them to a variety of audiences. In a crowded marketplace clamoring for attention, it’s more important than ever that we know how to tell our story well. And that story starts here – with you.

The strategy is:

  • A hierarchy of critical ideas and concepts
  • A set of frameworks for creating alignment
  • A blueprint

The strategy is not:

  • An outward expression of a campaign, like a tagline or slogan
  • Meant to communicate everything that we are and do
  • Static and finished
