What does BrandLab offer?

Just as science labs fuel experimentation and breakthrough discoveries, our BrandLab is a space for brand transformation and breakthrough ideas. We meet you where you are in your brand journey—whether you're seeking a complete overhaul or a strategic refinement.

Our comprehensive approach spans brand messaging and positioning to more specialized efforts like executive communications and visibility, issues response, corporate video development, employer brand activations, and go-to-market strategies. Whether it’s crafting sales enablement materials, fundraising decks, or board presentations – we’re ready to show up anywhere your brand needs to be found.  

A recent example of our work is our partnership with GlobalFoundries, where we refined their brand narrative to stand out in a crowded, competitive market. Together, we developed the 'We Shape What’s Essential' campaign, crafting a powerful and relatable brand story that resonated with their audience. Through compelling messaging, microsite design and refresh, and a series of brand campaign videos, GlobalFoundries is now cementing its position as a leading manufacturer of essential semiconductors — while delivering a clear, simplified message about their impact and the benefits they bring to the industry.

Sometimes it’s not about challenging markets, it’s about changing them.

Why BrandLab and why now?

The landscape for brands is shifting rapidly, largely driven by the changing demographics of today’s workforce. As younger generations—Millennials and Gen Z—continue to rise in the professional world, they are not only reshaping decision-making but also the ways they consume information and engage with content.

For example, 71% of Gen Z now use social media as their primary source of news, signaling a sharp decline in the relevance of traditional platforms like TV. Additionally, a whopping 97.8% of US internet users aged between 18 and 24 consider themselves to be digital video viewers, fueling the dominance of platforms like TikTok and YouTube in brand engagement. For brands, this underscores the need to prioritize multimedia storytelling—especially video—not only to capture attention but to drive deeper, more meaningful engagement.

We're also witnessing the rise of new media formats that cater to these preferences. From podcasts like Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy and Lex Fridman to the growing popularity of short-form videos on social platforms, these channels are becoming critical for brand communication. Brands that can embrace this shift will not only remain relevant but also foster stronger connections with emerging audiences.

What makes BrandLab unique?

What sets BrandLab apart is our immersive approach. Our diverse team takes the time to deeply understand your brand, aligning with both your short- and long-term goals. We don’t just focus on surface-level brand awareness; we dive into how your messaging can be a powerful tool for driving real results.
