BRANDE
On a Mission For a Better World
We think radically. We challenge established ways of operating. We believe in a fearless culture of experimentation.
We are a next-generation development agency whose methods enable business and social impact to evolve in entirely new ways.
We grow not only our clients’ business but also their handprint—that is, the social, positive impact of their business. Through our work, we aim to increase the amount of good in the world radically. When working with us, impact becomes a competitive advantage and a growth driver.
Brande’s operating model is based on the idea that a company’s social or environmental impact does not arise from individual actions but from the whole, in which strategy, design, digital development, and communication work together. Our work is based on the Impact Thinking approach. It combines future-oriented thinking, systems thinking, and design thinking in a way that the impact is visible both in people and in the market.
Our development work often consists of the following phases:
We define the impact vision.
We clarify what kind of change is desired for society and the environment.
We build the strategy as well as business and service concepts.
We give the impact vision form—that is, we design how the vision is implemented in practice so that it becomes business that creates value for the market and is experienced as meaningful by the customer.
We create design that makes strategy and vision understandable and engaging.
We create design that is understandable and evokes emotions—that is, we shape experiences that bring the vision and strategy to life. For example, we design brands, products, and spaces.
We design and implement digital solutions that scale the impact of the business.
In digital solutions, we combine data, artificial intelligence, and design so that impact can be increased intelligently and in a controlled way.
We make impact visible and convincing through communication and visualization.
They are involved from the very beginning, clarifying the vision, making actions concrete, and telling a story that engages people.
We apply biophilic and regenerative thinking in all phases of development. This is reflected in business models and brands as well as in services and spaces, which have a significant impact on our everyday lives and interactions.
The Market Rewards Those Who Leave More in the World than They Take.
At Brande, an agile core team of strategists, creative designers, digital developers, communicators, and biophilic design experts works together around the same table. In addition, our network includes a wide range of top professionals from various fields. What unites us all is curiosity and the desire to do good.
We are also involved in creating sustainable growth and common good as investors: Brande has already invested in six impact-driven companies.
We do not settle for only reducing the footprint—that is, decreasing the harms caused by business. We believe that we can do more: increase the handprint and add more good in the world.
We build a competitive advantage from your organization’s social impact. It attracts talent and customers, strengthens the brand, and opens new markets.
We are a reliable partner who walks beside you all the way from planning to practical implementation.
We have invested and continue to invest in interesting impact-driven companies. When selecting our investment targets, what is important to us is a passionate and capable team, a business idea that creates real impact, and our ability to support growth and internationalization.
Impactverse is a platform that connects people and organizations interested in the impact economy and creates opportunities for development based on a new kind of ecosystem.
