Transform Purpose Into Performance & Profit
Connecting the Why of purpose to the Way of profit to position your brand and drive commercial innovation.
Develop a Brand Strategy and Positioning Grounded in Purpose and Business Reality
Purpose that doesn’t translate into business performance is a waste of everyone’s time.
Sometimes it manifests as a mandate from on high. Or a corporate narrative. Maybe a poster on the wall in the corridor (or a screen saver). But often it comes with absolutely no guidance or rigor around how to embed it into business strategy, commercial innovation, brand planning or positioning.
Good intentions and beliefs, without a business case, pay lip service, create friction and ultimately inaction. It’s Greenhushing. Unverified claims and cheap PR thrills force litigation. That’s Greenwashing. Game over.
Sustain-Agility is an agile innovation based approach — derived from working with global enterprise level B Corps — that connects what you believe to how you operate — turning purpose into positioning, competitive advantage and profit.
Because otherwise, what’s the point?
Our Approach
Three Proven Frameworks. One Clear Strategy.
The BPP
The BPP is a framework designed to help organizations and brands connect the WHY of purpose to the WAY of profit. Think of it as a business strategy canvas on a page – helping you articulate your belief, purpose and pursuits.
Brand Archetyping
Archetypes provide the narrative structure (along with the defining characteristics) to ‘activate’ the BPP, shape your identity and deliver the desired brand experience.
The 5Rs
Best run with a cross functional team, we deconstruct your product or brand proposition - deciding what to re-use, reimagine, reduce, remove, or reinforce to help rationalize and differentiate.
Our Approach
Four proven frameworks that connect purpose to profit.
Belief. Purpose. Pursuits.
The BPP is a framework designed to help organizations and brands connect the WHY of purpose to the WAY of profit. Think of it as a business strategy canvas on a page – helping you articulate your belief, purpose and pursuits.
Based on the biggest intention-action gap, we re-calibrate your brand belief about the world and then pit it against the ‘cultural dragon’ that you feel compelled to slay. Once that ‘tension’ is found... the ‘propelling problem’ emerges - that you should be singularly hellbent on solving.
The BPP is published by the ANA as a best in class framework for articulating corporate, brand and social purpose
