Slow Branding
Slow branding is an intentional, holistic and thoughtful approach to creating brands that are part of the solutions the world needs.
A slow brand aspires to be:
- Authentic: it delivers what it promises by building trust with honesty, courage and good faith.
- Aligned: with the founders’ values, its audience’s expectations and the world’ s most pressing needs.
- Beautiful: designed with professionalism, harmony, aesthetics and love of detail.
- Durable: conceived with the talent of good craftsmanship so that it will last for many years and even outlive us.
- Aware of what is happening in the world and of its responsibility to bring about the necessary transformation.
- Regenerative: identifies companies or products designed to restore, renew and revitalise the planet and our habits.
- Circular: symbolises products and services that re-enter the system generating zero waste.
Individual conscience and collective conscience intertwine in a systemic way to create better brands, which symbolise and identify better companies and products.
We work with entrepreneurs with a heart, who want to do business differently. Solution seekers, dreamers, idealists, passionate people. Innovators who are open to trying new things and who are the driving force behind the transformation the world needs. Those who dare to step up to the plate. Those who, whatever they do, think big about their impact on people and the world. People who think about what they can improve in other people’s lives instead of focusing on the bottom line.
