The Kudzu Way

The Kudzu way is different than what you may expect. As a branding agency, you expect us to be creative and to have great ideas. But, we go above and beyond those expectations. We provide you with an easy, supportive process and flexible services to support you, no matter where you are on the growth curve.

We provide our services as a comprehensive process in order to help our clients effectively grow to their fullest and best potential.

Any project or partnership with us begins with our proven Discovery process to uncover your authentic story. Then, we intertwine that story with great creativity. Finally, we challenge you to keep going bigger with strategies and ideas to plant your brand permanently in the market. Most importantly, everything we do is with your growth in mind.

Heather Johnson leads a discovery, the first step of our process.

ROOTS™ DISCOVERY
Uncovering Your Unique Story and Brand Strategy

Our proprietary strategy process is called the Roots Discovery™. This process is led by one of our brand strategists and helps us learn your goals, identify what makes your business unique and determine who is going to love doing business with you. After this process is complete, you receive an essential brand strategy and story document to be used in all marketing and communications. We can also use this process to develop custom marketing strategies for businesses with more complex goals for growth.

The Discovery process is required for all Kudzu Brands clients. It is included in all brand, website and planning packages, or it can be completed à la carte. Supporting processes include: Business Naming, à la carte Strategy, Brand Audits, Website Audits, Competitive Analysis, Focus Groups, and Market Research.
