RTi BrandStar™: The Roadmap for Developing a Brand Strategy

RTi’s BrandStar™ model is a structured way to think about your brand — it is the roadmap providing direction for all other marketing elements. We use our BrandStar model as a basis of facilitated strategic brand development sessions with our clients and as a foundation of our own thinking about our clients’ brands.

Establishing a brand strategy is imperative: it defines the strategic direction for all tactical marketing decisions that follow.

In most cases, developing a BrandStar brand strategy is a two-step process:

  1. RTi works in partnership with our clients to develop a hypothesized BrandStar model, to understand all brand elements as defined by the end customer.
  2. RTi conducts primary research to revise and confirm the hypothesized BrandStar strategy. The confirmed strategy then becomes the foundation that drives all marketing activities.

Your brand is an intricate relationship among many different factors and attributes. RTi’s BrandStar model provides the structure for piecing together these elements and developing a coherent and effective brand strategy.
