We are a boutique brand development agency - a small, but highly experienced team of brand experts and graphic designers. Founded by Hilary Strong, ex Brand Director at Unilever, The Brandbean offers a range of services, all focused on growing brands.

The Brandbean offers three key services.

1. Qualitative market research. We firmly believe in the value of consumer insight, of deeply understanding what consumers want and why. From focus groups to ethnographic studies, offline, online or blended solutions, we conduct all sorts of qualitative research. We are set up to respond to briefs in Spain, UK, France and right across Central and Latin America. Our own investigations have included pioneering research into women and advertising, Gen Z and Millennials.
   
   
2. Brand positioning, strategy and innovation. At the core of a strong brand lies a clear sense of positioning; who is the brand for, what do they need, and how does this brand meet that need, better than the competition. We work with clients to ensure that their brands are really clearly thought through, always unique, always with a clear sense of identity and purpose. We work on strategy – weaving business and brand together. We run innovation workshops, often side by side with clients to create pipeline of innovation ideas, all consistent with the brand and its purpose.
   
   
3. Brand identity, graphic design, content and communication. We take brand positioning and turn it into highly creative, unique unique branding solutions that include core brand logos, visual assets, key messages and all brought to life in a set of brand guidelines. We create content strategies and turn them into materials. We bring brands to life in ongoing communication materials including corporate literature, advertising campaigns, videos, websites, social media content, conference material……the list is endless!

Our clients include major multinationals (Unilever, ESPN, Coca-Cola, Diageo, McDonald’s) as well as all sorts of start-ups. In fact over the last few years we have helped launch over 30 new brands including bars, restaurants, clothes, food and technology brands. For these new businesses, we have helped develop the concept, the name and then created all branding and launch material.

Our team is small but multinational, Directors with senior experience (15+ years each) and working personally on every project, side by side with clients. We have offices in Barcelona and Buenos Aires, combining the very best of European and Latin American talent and creativity.
