Research, Strategy, Creative & AI-Amplified Growth for Ambitious Mid-to-Large Brands

The Business Problems We Help You Solve

  • Markets evolve quickly, and assumptions about your customers can become outdated fast. If your messaging feels “off” or engagement is dropping, the first step is understanding your audience today — not two years ago. We conduct deep, data-driven research to identify who your best customers are, what they value now, and what drives their purchase decisions. This gives you the clarity to connect in ways that feel relevant and authentic.

  • When your brand’s story isn’t clear, consistent, or compelling, it’s harder to stand out in your market — and even harder to win loyalty. We help you uncover what truly differentiates your brand through deep, primary research and competitive analysis. Then we craft a positioning strategy that aligns with your audience’s needs and can be operationalized across marketing, sales, and customer experience. The result is a brand that communicates its value with confidence and consistency.

  • A complicated or unclear brand architecture confuses customers, weakens brand recognition, and dilutes the impact of your marketing. When audiences can’t easily understand how your products, services, or sub-brands connect, they’re less likely to trust or engage with your brand as a whole. Internally, unclear architecture leads to inefficiencies, misaligned messaging, and wasted resources as teams struggle to stay consistent. Simplifying and clarifying your brand structure creates a stronger, more cohesive identity that drives both recognition and growth.

  • A great strategy can still fail if it’s not fully integrated into daily operations and creative output. Too often, research lives in a deck, strategy stays on paper, and campaigns are built without alignment. We work with you to bridge that gap — ensuring your strategy informs every creative decision, touchpoint, and customer interaction. Your brand becomes not just a marketing asset, but a business-wide driver of growth.

  • Award-winning creative is meaningless if it doesn’t inspire action from your audience. We work at the intersection of insight and imagination — developing brand campaigns and creative concepts rooted in your positioning and informed by what actually motivates your customers. The outcome is marketing that’s beautiful, memorable, and most importantly, effective.

  • If your customers experience different messaging, tone, or service standards depending on where they interact with you, trust erodes. We help you design and implement a consistent brand experience that spans your website, sales materials, customer support, and even internal communications. When your brand feels seamless and dependable, you strengthen relationships and build advocacy.

  • Many teams are spending too much time on low-value marketing tasks and not enough on creative, strategic thinking. We help you identify where AI and automation can free up your team’s bandwidth while improving speed and accuracy. From content generation to data analysis, we find the right tools, train your team, and integrate them into your workflow — so you can focus on high-impact work that grows your brand.

The best brands don’t just stand out — they make a lasting impression. We build distinct, emotionally resonant brand positioning strategies through competitive audits, audience insights, and clear articulation of your brand’s unique value. Then we help you operationalize it internally, so your entire organization becomes aligned around a shared north star.

We don’t believe in creative for creative’s sake — we believe in creative that connects. Working with award-winning partners, we develop visual storytelling and campaign strategies that bring your brand to life and resonate deeply with your audience. Everything we create reflects both the head and the heart of your brand.

AI doesn’t replace your brand — it powers it. We help organizations identify, implement, and integrate the right AI tools to streamline operations, scale marketing, and unlock bold new creative possibilities. And when the ideal tool doesn’t exist, we’ll help you build it — custom-fit to your brand’s voice, goals, and internal workflows.

The Slip 19 Research > Strategy > Creative Approach

A circular infographic with four quadrants and a central logo reading 'slip19'. The quadrants are labeled 1. Brand Strategy, 2. Organizational Strategy, 3. Creative Strategy, and 4. Employer Strategy, each containing descriptive texts and questions related to strategy development.

At Slip 19, we view brand strategy as more than a marketing exercise — it’s the foundation for how an organization operates, communicates, and grows. Our Brand Strategy Ecosystem connects four critical pillars: brand strategy, organizational strategy, creative strategy, and employer strategy. Together, these elements ensure your business not only stands out in the marketplace but also delivers a consistent experience across every touchpoint.

We start by clarifying what makes your brand unique and compelling. Then we align your organizational strategy so your operations and teams consistently deliver on that brand promise. Through creative strategy, we translate your story into compelling campaigns that capture attention and build emotional connection. Finally, with employer strategy, we help align culture and talent — ensuring every employee is empowered to live the brand and that top talent is drawn to it.

This holistic approach helps organizations achieve what matters most: differentiation in the market, internal alignment, stronger customer loyalty, and an engaged workforce. Whether you’re redefining your positioning, scaling into new markets, or seeking to embed your brand more deeply into your culture, Slip 19 provides the clarity, strategy, and tools to make it happen.
