NHO partners with businesses that share our value of design, commitment to people, and respect for place. From broad expressions of design in architecture and the built environment, arts and culture, industrial design, consumer goods, and visual communications, we harness a global perspective and considered methodology to nurture differentiated brands.
Offering services in both strategy and implementation, we are driven by the belief that nothing works in isolation, harnessing a robust strategic planning methodology and the full marketing mix to achieve client objectives.
Strategy
We believe the strongest brands balance creative ambition with commercial acumen. This philosophy shapes our approach to strategic planning, starting with an investment in brand. Through workshops facilitated by our team of brand strategists, marketers and copywriters, we draw out the crucial nuances that set a brand apart and define a clear direction for its future.
From there, clear and quantifiable objectives shape a plan that considers the full marketing mix in unison. Informed by channel audits, audience insight and an understanding of where opportunity lies, the plan aligns each strategy with the core vision, values and positioning, defining a clear roadmap for the future.
Implementation
With the strategy defined, the NHO team oversees its implementation, providing ongoing strategic counsel through a considered brand management lens. Each opportunity is assessed against defined objectives, ensuring a seamless integration of communication channels.
With a global outlook, we have fostered relationships across the design world, from influential trade and consumer publications to industry opinion leaders, creative collaborators and brand partners. Whether delivering an event, a partnership, a campaign or a single piece of content, we apply the same premise of quality over quantity, ensuring every touchpoint reflects the brand and builds lasting momentum.
