Our two collaborative Brand Vitalisation workshops (available for B2C and B2B brands) put you on the pathway to unlocking the greatest value in your brand by unearthing key insight and delivering actionable recommendations across our Brand Vitalisation spaces.

 A regular review of your brand’s vitality is essential for keeping it relevant, distinctive, and optimised. Think of it as a health check designed to take the pulse of your brand and its outputs, as well as providing ideas that will make a positive difference to your comms right away.

The last couple of years has been a huge challenge for footwear brands, but with the category getting back to pre-Covid levels it was essential our positioning and campaign work were fit for purpose. The Creative Lab’s one-day collaborative workshop was a vital first step on that journey and has inspired us to new heights. Highly recommended.
