For Gain. For Fame. For Change. We Create Edge.
Across the B2B, corporate, political and citizen spaces, on brand, campaigning, and innovation strategies, Hyphen creates strategic edge.
Through strategy and creative storytelling we help our clients not just win attention, but hold it, shape it, and turn attention into intent.
Strategic Services
We are a team of strategic and creative instigators. We develop strategic solutions, shape stories and create campaigns for brands and organisations that want to impact. For gain. For fame. For change.
Brand Strategy
In the non-consumer space, brand is not a fluffy concept, brand is a strategic weapon. Brand is how you create and deliver difference to customers, to colleagues, to the market. Brand strategy is not simply a marketing concern, it’s a whole of business issue. Your brand is your belief system.
Hyphen develops strategic edge for existing brands – and gives birth to new brands – across deep insights, positioning, purpose and platform.
Creative & Campaign Strategy
Ideas are the currency of human connection. And campaigns are the vehicles of moving minds and changing conversations.
Strategic creativity seeks out the cultural space, the ideas and stories that stand out, that can inspire audiences, that are different and make a difference. Hyphen develops campaign architecture that propels an idea and a campaign storyline from start to finish.
Social Strategy
Hyphen Social is a specialist offering from Hyphen. Built for small businesses and start-ups, designed to enable them to capitalise on social’s unique advantages for smaller players.
Social allows brands to influence – not just advertise. It’s visual. It’s verbal. It’s cultural. For small businesses with limited budgets, social is not simply a channel, it’s all the channels.
Citizen Strategy
As societies shift, as institutional norms fray and as citizens become more empowered by technology, entities from governments, NGO’s, special interest groups and political parties face a new set of communication challenges.
Issues need ideas more than ever. We work with political and issue driven brands to capture the imagination of citizens through branding, policy innovation and creative citizen engagement.
Burning Issues Need Braver Ideas
Humanity hits harder than logic.
In marketing, emotional communications outperform rational messaging by nearly a factor of two. This is an opportunity for B2B brands and organizations in flat, static non consumer categories.
Effect comes from affect. We call this Edge.
Edge is attraction, clout, curiosity, leadership, legacy, and reputation. It’s the difference between standing out from the pack and fading back into the noise and clutter.
It’s always heart then head.
