Brands don’t grow themselves.
Which is why we created…
Welcome to
Notch isn’t like other agencies. Because it isn’t one.
Notch isn’t like other agencies. Notch isn’t like other branding shops. Notch isn’t like other management consultants. Notch isn’t a design studio with a strategist. Because Notch isn’t any of those things. Notch is a brand growth consultancy, focused on providing the insight, strategic know-how and experience to map out your path from where your brand is today to where you want it to be.
Since 2014, Notch has been helping clients across a range of B2C, B2B, DTC, and everything in between as they navigate the inevitable transitions of their business. We’ve created brands, reinvented them, fine-tuned them and pushed them into places they wouldn’t have gone otherwise. By embedding ourselves with your teams, we help to create buy in while making sure brand theory can actually become brand action. And, when all is said and done, we won’t be there trying to sell you on a one-size-fits-all campaign or social activation or marketing stunt.
Like we said, Notch isn’t not like other agencies because it isn’t one.
Setting a goal is one thing. Figuring out how you get from A to B is a whole other can of worms.
Brand Growth Exploration
When it comes to understanding brand growth, incomplete data, lack of outside perspective, and discomfort with prickly topics leads to an overly optimistic take on things. At Notch, we start by developing our own perspective. We look at where you are today, where you want to be and where you could get to, and work to determine what really matters. Trends, facts, insights, points of view on what could be. We mash them all together along with the experience and best practices we’ve developed, and craft a perspective on your brand’s growth opportunities – where it’s strong, where it’s weak, how it can help you get to where you’re going and where you should go but didn’t realize.

Brand Growth Roadmap
It’s great to have ambition. But without a plan to get there, ambition is just wishful thinking. Notch’s approach to brand growth focuses on building a real roadmap to get you from A to B. We break down the steps you need to take so that what you do in year one doesn’t just make for a good year one, but sets you up for every year to come. We consider the programs and tactics, the partners and tools, and resources and pivots called for to drive real long-term brand growth.
