Positioning for specialist brands

We define brands for their next stage of growth.

And then build the tools for decision-making: the briefs, guardrails and tracking measures that guide both its long-term direction and the everyday decisions made inside the business.

What you get when you work with us

Segmentation of your audience, analysis of your competitors, and research into what draws people to a brand in your category and what holds them back.

We call this the Marmot Method.

A positioning built on evidence

Briefs , guardrails and decision tools for the people building your brand.


A way to tell if it's working

A microsite

All of it in one place your team can open and use, instead of a file someone has to dig out.

We build it with your team, hand it over, and you call us back to review and advise.
