At BrandYou Creative Agency Ireland, every evolution begins with listening. After nearly two decades of building brands across Ireland, we realised our thinking needed to align more closely with how people experience brands today. It wasn’t about starting over, it was about refining our approach so our work truly reflected real human behaviour and feeling.
So we set out to refine our brand strategy and, importantly, to embed the customer journey at the heart of everything we do. As a trusted marketing agency in Ireland, we believe strategy must be built from empathy and evidence. This series walks you through that transformation, the research, the design, and the launch and shows how we turned insight into action.
Welcome to our series: Evolving BrandYou Creative Agency Ireland’s Brand Strategy and the Customer Journey.
Episode 1: Prep and Plan
Every strong brand reaches a moment when it must stop and take stock. For us, that moment was about recognising that our tools were effective but could be more human-centred.
- Understanding: We audited our existing process to see where communication slowed and where client understanding faltered.
- Insight: Our purpose remained sound, but the way we expressed it needed updating for the modern audience.
- Creativity: We began plotting emotions across typical brand interactions, the curiosity, hesitation, trust, and delight that shape decisions.
- Collaboration: Strategy, design, and content teams worked together to shape a flexible approach that clients could easily engage with.
- Delivery: The outcome was a refreshed outlook on brand strategy development, more people-first, clearer, and easier to apply.
Prep and planning set the tone: we wouldn’t change our purpose, we’d express it with more clarity and empathy.
Episode 2: Brand Strategy
Seeing through a customer’s eyes changes how you build a strategy. This episode focused on transforming what we knew into how people feel the brand and writing the entire strategy.
- Understanding: We examined how audiences moved from awareness to loyalty and which touchpoints mattered most.
- Insight: We realised many brands define what they say, but rarely map how people emotionally move through it.
- Creativity: We created visual journeys that combined emotion and action, turning data into a human-centred roadmap.
- Collaboration: Strategy, design, and digital marketing teams aligned to ensure messaging and visuals matched the emotional beats.
- Delivery: The result was a robust customer journey mapping model that now underpins every brand strategy development we deliver.
By designing from the customer’s perspective, our strategies gained emotional clarity and practical direction.
Episode 3: Website Design and Development
A refreshed strategy needs a digital front door that speaks the same language. Our website became the first place to show the new thinking in practice.
- Understanding: The site needed to show not only our work but our thinking, the strategic empathy behind every decision.
- Insight: Previously, visuals were strong but the site didn’t fully express the strategic and emotional layers of our services.
- Creativity: Copy and design were rewritten and redesigned together, clearer headings, purpose-led case studies, and narrative-driven pages.
- Collaboration: UX, design, content, and SEO teams ensured the site looked great and reached the audiences who needed it most.
- Delivery: The updated, SEO-optimised site became a living example of our brand strategy development and creative brand storytelling in action.
The website moved from showcase to storyteller, a place where strategy and creativity meet.
Episode 4: Marketing and Launch
A launch is not a single moment, it’s a sequence of clear, consistent stories told across channels. Our launch focused on communicating what changed and why it mattered to clients and partners.
- Understanding: We needed a simple, honest way to explain the improvements and client benefits.
- Insight: Effective launches are consistent, every asset must tell the same core story, in visuals and words.
- Creativity: We produced short videos, a launch deck, social content, and updated collateral that reflected the new strategy and the Customer Journey integration.
- Collaboration: Marketing, leadership, and design teams fine-tuned the timing and tone so the rollout felt cohesive and confident.
- Delivery: The new strategy was introduced across our website, social channels, client materials, and presentations, marking a clear next chapter for BrandYou.
Our launch wasn’t about spectacle, it was about showing, simply and confidently, how we’ve improved the way we help brands grow.
