Founder at Brand Innovation Partners - Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, United States
Invest + BuildWe have a very simple vision (you see it above). It's not a tagline; they are not our strategic pillars. It is the bedrock of what drives us each and every day. We believe we must invest in, and build our future; that is the key to developing enduring and valuable brands. It is a very different approach than the buy + sell mentality that is so prevalent across tradition firms. We like to think that our belief in brand building, our successful track record, and our hands on approach is what differentiates us from the rest.While our vision statement may capture the essence of what we do, it is our mission that compels us to do things the way we do them. Our mission is to win; so we scour the earth looking for opportunities, identifying trends, studying innovative brands, uncovering insights and establishing relationships with some of the most imaginative and effective people around.That's why we put Partnership in our name, it is part of our spirit and we are not naive enough to think we can do it alone. We partner with talent. We pride ourselves on working with and being in business with people of vision. People like ourselves.Yes, we individually have experience in branding some of the world's top Fortune 500 companies and their brands, but we found that boring (although it did pay the rent). We believe the world has changed, consumers are looking for something different and we aim to provide that.
