ABOUT

Warm. Friendly. Inviting. These days a logo is merely the representation of your brand. It’s the trigger for a customer reaction – whether friendly and satisfied or reluctant and frustrated. Brands today are all about creating a relationship that engages customers. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in, everyone is in the service industry now – customer service.

Brand Champion. The most popular brands give a sense of their personality through advertising, marketing and social media communications. But the real test is when the customer takes the first sip of what you’re brewing. Is it authentic, smooth and delicious? If so, they’ll be back for more. If it’s too strong or bitter, they may never come back. You only get one chance to create a loyal new friend.

Creative Thinking. There are lots of ways to reach out to customers today and BWBD can help you evaluate your brand at every customer touchpoint and then work with you to develop a strategic plan that is creative, appealing in its design, but most of all, on-brand. We’ll even show you how to implement it with your customers and staff.

Based in Tampa, Florida, BWBD has years of experience working on local, regional and national brands in all forms of traditional and new media. Whether you’re looking to build a new brand or refresh your existing brand, BWBD can help you brew up a distinctive, memorable and tasteful brand.

PORTFOLIO

With over 30 years of experience working in lots of industries and various media channels, there are just too many pieces to show. Here are a few of the most memorable brand projects. If you want to see more or you’re looking for something specific, just drop us a note.

PUTTING MAJOR BRANDS TO THE FIRE.

This blog is focused on major brand campaigns, mainly in the television media. As new campaigns are introduced by major brands the goal is to evaluate the work in light of the brand personality and history. We’ll try to determine the brand strategy, the target, the message and the desired response.

This will be an objective view with no agency insights on strategy or how the work was produced or its effectiveness. It will strictly be an effort to see if by evaluating the finished work the strategy can be discovered / realized. This will not be associated or driven by any agency or company press releases about the work (where the strategy and the goal are usually identified.) This will be a simple pure evaluation of the work based strictly on initial perceptions and reaction to the campaign/s as they air.

Pluto TV Goes To The Farm

Raising couch potatoes is a guarantee of future business growth. I know this commercial originally aired during this year’s Super Bowl, but I keep thinking about it. And isn’t that the sign of a truly successful campaign? It just keeps coming back to your mind. The spot did get a lot of notice at the time, so I decided to wait for a few months before talking about it, just so my comments didn’t get lost in the sea of articles about it. I think now is the right time to bring it back to your mind. Since Pluto TV is all about serving-up programs and movies that hold our attention, that keep [...]

What Are Fresh Flower?

Doordash turns the meaning of fresh into something creepy. I know how advertising creatives work. We’re always trying to turn the expected on its head to something new and unexpected. And it’s that twist that make a concept creative and memorable. But when you turn it on its head and it becomes creepy and disturbing is that really the best for your brand? Doordash’s Valentine’s Day commercial for the freshest flowers just went to a place where I’m now afraid to order flowers. Of course there’s an expectation with the word “fresh” in fresh cut, or fresh from the garden, something not faded or worn, something newly arrived just picked. Doordash went to [...]

Are Euphemism Taglines What’s Next?

Connecting with consumers in an unexpected way. Does it work? Euphemisms are substitutions of mild, indirect or vague expressions for ones thought to be offensive, harsh or blunt. It appears that advertisers are looking for ways to connect with the audience on this level. Is it memorable because it comes from language that is assumed the audience is familiar with and will make an easy connection to their brand? The idea is to take expressions that have become part of our culture’s collection of expletive phrases and incorporate the brand into them. By replacing the brand with whatever word/s that would not be acceptable in a commercial use, they become a quickly recognizable [...]
