In London from 1998-2003, our work within the real estate, retail, cultural and travel industries brought projects to market for globally influential companies including Tishman Speyer, Blackstone Properties, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Stanhope, Sellar Property Group, Selfridges, and the Victoria&Albert Museum.
In Vancouver, Cause+Affect has worked with real estate leaders including Concord Pacific, Westbank Development Corp and Rize Alliance Properties; we have consulted with cultural institutions including The Vancouver Art Gallery, The Museum of West Vancouver and the Museum of Vancouver; and we have created numerous brands, initiatives and experiences for clients including The Vancouver Economic Development Commission, Volkswagen, The Globe Foundation of Canada and The City of Vancouver.
Combining the service and scope of advertising, marketing and design companies, Cause+Affect is not limited by medium or industry. In contrast, our diverse track record of projects and clients has given us a reputation that has become especially appealing to our peers and we work hard to develop projects that will resonate with them. Through this critical design thinking and practice, we continue to use our unique process to help businesses, communities and cities evolve and prosper.
SERVICES
Cause+Affect offers a gamut of services that range from top-level business and creative strategy development to the design and execution of a new brand identity. We offer all these services as one continuum of work or can insert ourselves in at any level with a mind towards your end goals. As each client is unique, we do not offer formulaic solutions. Instead, we customize our approach for every given situation.
Business Strategy - We help our clients define or redefine their business model before diving into the brand strategy process so the investment in creative and strategic services maximizes the opportunities for success. When we are through, our clients’ creative strategy works lock-step with their organization’s operating strategy. Areas of interest can include global trend forecasting, business modelling, product/service viability, focus groups, and organizational restructuring.
Brand Strategy and Development - This process involves research and strategy to help our clients articulate who they are and what they represent. Once it is complete, we will help them express their value and uniqueness through a lasting brand identity. This process involves the creation of a brand vision, story, positioning, tone of voice, naming and logo identity.
Marketing & Communications - In this phase, we develop a marketing strategy and select the most appropriate channels to communicate our client’s message. We then design a series of brand experiences to achieve the greatest impact within the most efficient budget. These experiences can be expressed through print and on-line advertising, photography, video, website, social media campaigns, events, exhibitions and architectural interventions.
