People are powered by emotion, not by reason.
Reason leads to conclusions. Emotion leads to action.

- From Research by Neurologist Donald Calne

we are idea people:

Story Tellers. Problem Solvers. Brand Champions.ast

We are a Creative Collaborative. We're experienced and talented. We work together across disciplines to identify new ways to build brands, shape messages, stimulate conversations, and inspire transformation.

Our culture is built upon the belief that a community of creative thinkers yields the most effective and insight-rich communications regardless of delivery channel.

ideas: what we do ast

  • Is your idea branded?

    at Kahn Creative Partners, we:

    provide the strategic foundation

    for powerful brand narratives

    that inform, entertain, inspire, enlighten and influence.

    what it looks like

    • Consumer Insight Studies
    • Communications Planning
    • Brand Experience Blueprints
    • "Day In The Life" Ethnographic Maps
    • Strategic Alignment Maps

    for example:

    to rebrand the learning department in a global organization, we led a researched-driven approach...

    ...re-envisioning positioning, identity, communications, the environmental experience - even the way the department structured its approach to education and coaching.

  • Have a culture transforming idea?

    what we do:

    connect with people in their work environments

    through human encounters that engage the head and the heart

    and fuel meaning conversations, dialog and learning.

    meaning things like:

    • Employee communication programs
    • Leadership alignment workshops
    • "Living the brand" engagements

    once a client asked:

    How do we transform a sales organization to be more empathetic and flexible? How can we build enduring relationships with customers?

    we said:

    Move from:

    • Pushing products and messages

      to
    • Creating positive customer experiences

    Our change management initiative placed customers at the center of the business - resulting in measurable increases in employee engagement, customer value perceptions and ultimately sales.

  • Is your idea experienced?

    for branded experiences, we:

    establish and strengthen constituent relationships

    through marketing campaigns

    built into the physical landscapes where people live, work and play.

    some of the ways we work:

    • Event & experience architecture
    • Meetings, conferences, road shows & tours
    • Branded environments, like visitor centers, exhibits and consumer experiences

    for example, there was a four-day user conference to launch a new brand:

    first: We developed an integrated architecture to create an engaging brand experience

    next: We deployed new technologies to strengthen customer relationships (like integrating PRM with CRM)

    then: We engaged people in conversations before, during and after the conference through "Connectatinforum" social networking

  • Need to explode an idea into a campaign?

    here at kahn creative partners, we:

    stimulate meaningful dialogue

    around brands or issues

    across strategically appropriate media.

    we draw on:

    • Digital
    • Print
    • Video
    • Social
    • "Live"

    Like the time we led an initiative to recognize and appreciate diversity across a huge organization:

    WHY: Heighten awareness of an inclusive cultures as it supports customer experiences

    WHO: High-level business leaders

    WHAT: Design, develop and launch a multi-channel campaign

    WHEN: 7 month campaign

    HOW: Microsite, email campaign, print collateral, launch events, video production, environmental outreach
