Globrands' ever-watchful eye on future possibilities has led to a large number of well-known brand names. They play a central role in the daily lives of people around the world.
We see our work as creating a brand's own fertile ground, the basis for a thriving future. A verbal identity that opens hearts and markets.
We are strategists
Your brand’s goals are the starting point of a journey that leads to a concrete deliverable: ownable wording that carries your story and builds value.
Process masters
Developing a verbal identity means deciding on questions that are intuitive, subjective, emotional, full of legal pitfalls and often with a crowd of different stakeholders.
Not exactly questions for a name contest. Or artificial intelligence.
Or in fact, anything that doesn't truly understand your audience, your way of working and what makes you tick.
And lovers of language
As language geeks, we are of the free-spirited kind. Few rules, no dogmas. Words are there to play with and create unique places in people's minds. We love seeing how changing one letter can completely change the way a brand may develop.
We work for clients in motion
