1. Discover Phase
The first step in any creative initiative is to discover the brand, the client, and key information to help identify the overall needs and scope of the project. In this first stage the goal is to understand who you are, and where you want to go. We take a hands-on approach to our Discovery phase - we like to get our hands dirty, and learn as much as we possibly can about the business. Time invested in this phase will pay off big time, which is why we do it first. Time spent in the Discovery phase varies depending on your specific needs, available information, and necessary details.
