Beyond a Logo: The Lived Experience of Brands in Today's World

It's easy to see a "brand" as just a logo.... But, it’s really about how brands are experienced from the first initial touchpoint throughout the entire buying and selling process and beyond.

Our session shows you processes and strategies to excel in that experience: Through public relations and media engagement, digital branding and a strategic approach to visual and verbal brand strategy, and the user experience from interest to purchase. Whether your brand lives wholly online or shares physical space, you'll learn how to fully embody your brand so your business or organization can succeed.

How we think

Communications is a social science

COMMS/NATION is a strategic communications agency helping bold ideas break through—with design, insight, and intention.

We don’t just create. We study, strategize, and design with purpose. Our work is rooted in evidence-based, human-centered thinking that sparks conversation and drives real results.

We believe communications should evolve the best parts of humanity—not just sell products that disappear into the noise. Your story deserves the edge of creativity, the weight of strategy, and design that actually resonates.

WHO WE WORK WITH:

Professional services. Consulting providers. Forward-thinking market leaders. The questioners. The builders. The ones who know their message matters.

If you're a CEO, founder, or Head of Comms tired of the same old messaging, you're our kind of people..

THE SOCIAL SCIENCES THAT GUIDE OUR WORK:

🧠 Anthropology: understanding how people are and how they can be
💭 Philosophy: understanding how people think
🤝 Sociology: understanding how people interact
❤️ Emotional Intelligence: understanding the predictive nature of actions
