Introduction

At CRENEO, a brand and design agency established in Düsseldorf for over 15 years, the brand workshop is at the heart of our consulting and development services. This article will provide you with all the important information about the content, relevance, goals, and procedure of a brand workshop at CRENEO.
Content of a brand workshop at CRENEO
Our brand workshops are designed to gain in-depth insights into your company or institution. The central content is:
Getting to know and analyzing the company
At the beginning of the workshop, we get to know each other and gain a comprehensive insight into your company culture, values, and visions. This first step is crucial in establishing a trusting foundation and ensuring that we fully understand your brand and its unique characteristics. Through targeted questions and open discussions, we gain valuable information about your past brand activities and your future goals.
Thought patterns and paradigm shifts
An important part of the brand workshop is the identification and analysis of existing thought patterns within your organization. It is often ingrained ways of thinking that hinder progress and innovation. We work out these thought patterns and, if necessary, promote a paradigm shift. We open up new perspectives and ways of thinking with targeted impulses and methodical approaches that can bring fresh air to your brand.
Target audience and competitive analysis
A deep understanding of your target audience and their needs is essential for a successful brand strategy. In this section of the workshop, we identify your most important target groups and analyze their expectations and behaviors. We also compare your positioning with that of your competitors and partners. This analysis helps us identify your strengths and weaknesses in the market environment and respond to them in a targeted manner.
Create a shared understanding
Together, we develop a unified understanding of your organization or Your product, which is documented in a comprehensive manual. This shared understanding forms the basis for all further steps and ensures that all parties are on the same level of knowledge. The documentation serves as a reference and guide for future brand work and helps to sustainably anchor the findings and strategies developed.
Importance of a brand workshop
A brand workshop is invaluable for developing a successful brand strategy. The relevance is evident in several aspects:
Well-founded brand strategy
The workshop provides the basis for developing a clear and targeted brand strategy. Through intensive analysis of your brand and your market environment, we create the basis for informed strategic decisions that contribute to the long-term success of your brand.
Internal Awareness
All parties involved are made aware of the value and importance of a successful brand. This shift in awareness is crucial to strongly positioning the brand not only externally, but also internally. A shared brand identity and vision strengthens the unity and commitment of all employees.
Strong brand loyalty
A strong brand lives on the consistent implementation and commitment of all decision-makers. The brand workshop conveys the importance of uncompromisingly pursuing the brand strategy and implementing it in daily business. This is the only way the brand can fully develop its effect and successfully assert itself in the market.
Objectives of a brand workshop

Procedure for a brand workshop
Our approach to a brand workshop is highly engaging and activating:
Preparation
Intensive preparation through the analysis of your company and the market environment. Before the workshop, we gather all relevant information and prepare customized materials and questions to make the workshop effective and goal-oriented.
Carrying out
The workshop itself is designed to be interactive, with a variety of methods and techniques for generating ideas andsolving problems. We promote the exchange and development of new ideas through group work, discussions, and creativeexercises.
Documentation
After the workshop, we create a comprehensive documentation of the results. This documentation contains all the important insights, strategies, and measures developed in the workshop and serves as a guide for further implementation.
Debriefing
We support you in implementing the strategies and measures developed. We provide guidance and support during the initial implementation steps to ensure that the approaches developed in the brand workshop are successfully implemented.
Visual workshop aids for brand values and tone
The models shown are proven tools for developing central elements such as values, tonality, target group understanding, and differentiating features within the context of a brand workshop. They make abstract concepts visually tangible and facilitate joint discussion: What makes our brand unique? How do we want to sound? What should we never be? Through categories such as “culture,” “voice,” “value,” or “X-Factor,” central brand characteristics can be clearly identified and consciously sharpened. The spectrum model for brand personality also helps to locate desired character traits in the tension field of opposites (e.g., playful vs. serious). These tools not only provide orientation but also promote a shared understanding – the basis for consistent communication and strategic brand management. Of course, this is only one possible way – at CRENEO, we combine additional models from areas such as brand positioning or brand language.
