POSITIONING

One of the most important steps in the branding process, positioning defines your brand's point of view in the minds of your desired audience.

NAMING

BRAND IDENTITY

COPYWRITING/EDITING

Copywriting is your brand’s way of speaking to your customer. The text you use in your touchpoints, website and communications needs to have a consistent voice.

Our remarkable process.

Everyone knows they need a name, a logo, a price point, a business plan, and a budget, but many clients forgo a vital step: explaining to consumers WHY they should consider THEIR brand and what’s in it for THEM.

The ultimate goal is to drive purchases, so everything needs to be aligned to guide consumers seamlessly down that path.

Most clients struggle to identify their “only-ness.” Re-Tool® has a finely tuned process—often pointed, sometimes laughable, and more than likely revelatory—that eventually leads clients to a place where their eyes light up and the fog lifts. Relief is tangible as we capture and confirm WHY they are unique in their industry or space and decide the HOW and WHAT to ensure their messaging resonates.

The Re-Tool® team specializes in creating a kick-arse, one-of-a-kind “only-ness” for the brands we work with. Our process asks a host of intentional questions from the very start to expertly shape and refine a brand’s components around its “onlyness.” We call it our re-markable method.

So what’s your brand’s “only-ness” do you know?
