The Breakthrough Your Brand Has Been Waiting For “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few.”

- Shunry Suzuki While the quote above did not originally refer to the branding process, it can certainly apply. Branding is an art form, a process, and an evolution.

But if left to the untrained, it can feel like ideas are just being thrown against the wall to see what sticks. That’s not branding. That’s wishing.

Guessing. Hoping.

In reality, however, when left to the experts, there really is a strategic method to building a fully-integrated, optimized, impactful brand with an aligned voice that projects its unique personality, tone, and mood.

Your company, product, or service — and its respective brand — is too valuable and too meaningful to serve as a test case for all of the perceived possibilities. Instead, allow the experts at The Remedy to infuse our proven branding method into your brand, thus not only developing the right strategies to make your brand relevant and engage customers, but also creating and providing the tools necessary for your brand to break through the clutter.

The Remedy Makes Brands Work For You WE U NL EASH I MAG I N ATI O N It starts with a vision. A dream. A plan. That’s your role. The Remedy’s role is to unleash your unbridled passion and incorporate your imagination into a set of strategies designed to ultimately spawn the soul of your brand.

WE IN SPI R E PE R SO N AL I TY The personality of your company is its brand. The Remedy will work with you to meticulously uncover the unique qualities, exclusive essence, and incomparable characteristics that inspire your brand’s distinct personality.

WE L E VE RAG E I N SPI RATI O N Inspiration comes from the soul. Whether it’s from the soul of your product or the soul of you, its creator, that inspiration drives greatness.

The Remedy will leverage that inspiration to liberate the passion that makes your brand truly remarkable.

WE C R EATE I MPACT Even a half-baked plan can provide results. But impact … that’s harder to come by. The Remedy’s integrated branding solutions provide meaningful results which translate into true impact for your brand, and your bottom line. Don’t just settle for results. Demand impact.

Logo Design The Remedy provides custom logo design services for companies and organizations of all types and sizes. What makes The Remedy stand out is our ability to deliver a finished product that sets the tone for the brand, producing impact that is fueled by the brand’s unique traits and clear, concise voice. That’s not an easy task to accomplish, as many design firms typically provide one type of look and one type of feel and cannot reach beyond their own environment and their own design tendencies. The Remedy has the proven ability to become inspired by our clients’ vision and develop branding marks that reflect our clients’ unique passion, style, and corporate culture. But The Remedy does not stop with simply providing a logo. We also provide a brand standards guide, a system for using the logo and marks, and even an associated typography layout to ensure an integrated, optimized, impactful brand.

Web & Mobile Development Today, your online presence is the front porch of your business. The competition for business is fierce, and those companies that do not have an impactful online presence have essentially eliminated themselves from a large and ever-increasing segment of their customer base who more and more search for information online prior to making a purchase at a brick-and-mortar store or making a decision on which service provider to select. In this world of digital media and online commerce, a website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your brand. Don’t lose business by providing a negative first impression before you have ever had the chance to earn it. The Remedy can help you offer website or mobile app visitors a meaningful and lasting first impression with a professional-looking and functional mobile-responsive website that will make potential customers take you seriously, whether you are a one-man band or an international corporate giant.

Package Design Packaging sells products. It can also discourage sales. Don’t believe us? Go to any grocery or retail store and look for a product for which you have not yet developed a brand loyalty. How do you choose from the many offerings in that category? Sure, sometimes we do our research. But oftentimes it’s the packaging that is one of the strongest components in the decision-making process. Shoppers are distracted.

They’re in a hurry. Many times it’s less about making informed, rational decisions and instead more purely instinctive and reactive, buying by color, shape, or familiarity of location. Certain key aspects of packaging can trigger subconscious emotions before the conscious part of our brain can respond. This is where The Remedy can deliver you an advantage that allows your packaging to resonate and connect emotionally with potential customers, ultimately allowing you to sell more products. We will help your product packaging answer Who Am I, What Am I, and Why Am I. If your products can accomplish that, you already have a leg up on the competition. From there, let The Remedy provide the direction, creativity, insight, and brand strategy needed to get your products to stand out among the clutter.

Branded Merchandise Branded items for merchandise and promotional purposes have become a cottage industry, and there are literally thousands of products to which a company can attach its brand. But, just like everything else, careful consideration must be made as to which products would best promote the message a company is trying to send. For instance, Alcoholics Anonymous would probably not want to distribute branded bottles of wine, and a company would probably not impress a group of Dallas Cowboys fans by providing them with burgundy t-shirts as promotional gifts (that’s their arch rivals, obviously). In addition to the type of product, a company must also consider the branding elements placed on that item. Sometimes, simply a logo will suffice. But other times, a client will need specially-branded artwork to ensure that the correct message is communicated in the correct fashion. That’s where The Remedy comes in.

The brand was given a much more consumer-friendly name -- Fan Plan. That catchy name would also be the actual name of the products that the company sold, making for a very simple marketing strategy.

with many other health benefits such as protecting against types of colitis, stomach ulcers, and high cholesterol and helping to treat upset stomach, diabetes, depression, HIV, uveitis, and viral infections. However, curcumin has proven frustrating to scientists who state that it is unstable and not bioavailable, thus allowing it to pass through the system

thus allowing the body to absorb the compound into the bloodstream and ingest the healthy benefits of the curcumin, which became bioavailable with the protein combination. The company developed an entire line of supplements, chewables, drinks, drink mixes, meal replacement shakes, sugar free chocolates, jelly beans, and even pet products designed to provide essential health benefits to the body.

The Remedy worked with the company to build a new brand around the breakthrough product line. In addition to a product

was just for the portion of the product line meant for people, not pets.

We started with the concept of vibrancy -- if anything, everyone in the desired target demo could relate to vibrancy. So we moved forward with a vibrant orange color that earmarked the brand (and was similar to the natural coloring of curcumin) and then developed a simple product packaging concept that included one panel of close-up, vibrant imagery to contrast the rest of the non-descript packaging and represent the flavor or key ingredient of each product. Then we moved to the brand itself and its key marketing assets, all of which included vibrant, close-up, colorful imagery of healthy people on the move but still within the confines of everyday life, careful not to position the brand too far into an athletic supplement line. In the end, CurcuminPro enjoyed a successful launch as a complete line of healthy living nutritional supplements that stood out among the thousands of existing supplement brands because of its sharp look and exciting brand profile.

The Remedy was brought in to develop the company’s overall brand. We began with crafting a name that would succinctly tell the story of the brand, and then designed a dynamic logo to match the mood and vibe of the new brand. Additionally, because all of the company’s devices began as concepts, The Remedy provided conceptual drawings and renderings of each of the company’s new devices. These concepts and renderings utilized in investor presentations, manufacturing spec sheets, and marketing microsites.

By combining critical diagnostic functionality with smart technology and data analytics, IST has developed the future of sports performance and sports medicine. Big data is being used in almost all aspects of life, and it has proven to be the next big thing in the world of sports. IST’s Ankle360 and NECKxt DEFENSE devices are ahead of even that curve, changing the face of performance, training, and rehabilitation for athletes of all ages, genders, and skill level.

Hispanic ranching tradition of old Mexico. Born from them was the trademark Texas ranching industry which quickly spread throughout the Western territories and still exists within many Western states. Other Texas firsts within the new colony included the first English and Sunday schools, the first Texas newspaper, and the roots of what would become the Texas Rangers law enforcement agency.

With much intrigue and sentiment around those Old 300 families and what their lives must have been like, The Remedy developed a brand around that historical era. The new brand -- called the Original Three Hundred -- would include various products for modern consumption which would harken back to an earlier time when the West was still wild and the Texas had still yet to become a republic.

Partnering with local entrepreneurs, The Remedy developed brand stories around numerous items under the Original Three Hundred brand, including a whiskey, tequila, sangria, margarita mix, coffee, restaurant, and barbeque sauce, all of which are in development. From that, a spirits production company evolved called 1823 Beverage Company, and a television pilot about the era was written and pitched for production.

Not only did The Remedy come up with the brand story for each product and business entity, but it also produced all of the product packaging concepts, branding logos and marks, branded merchandise and apparel, and pitch decks for each of the products and concepts.

Additionally, the team at The Remedy created a complete broadcasting design package with an opener, studio features, scoreboards, lower-thirds, information boxes, player feature boxes, and player comparison graphics, among other on-air graphics. Many of the on-screen graphics also included a variety of animation effects used to promote pertinent information and game stats, as well as shifting to a team branded look whenever touchdowns were scored. The scoreboards were designed to be able to be sized to different dimensions accommodate additional data and information when needed, with scores also displayed, when going to or returning from a commercial break, on a larger, sidebar style look with oversized numbers.

Though the dynamic graphics package was designed to be able to shift color palettes as needed to reflect those of the participating teams, the base look was a combination of red and blue of the IFL and the silver and black of Stadium. The new graphics package gave the game broadcasters a professional look, helping to raise the bar for the fledgling league.

Sports + Entertainment Practice

Sustainable Impact Building Long-Lasting Legacies The Remedy’s Sports+Entertainment practice generates sustainable impact through meaningful partnerships and collaborations. Combined with the power of influence, we leverage relationships and aspirations to develop long-lasting legacies and relevance.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We ensure long-term development and success of our clients by continually translating our high-performance culture into breakthrough results through social, commercial, and in-person engagement. We understand that no two athletes, entertainers, brands, or properties are the same, so we refuse to take a one-size-fits-all approach with our clients. We listen, we ideate, we create, and we execute specific strategies that fit uniquely with the personalities, brand traits, and expectations of our clients, empowering them with the tools they need to establish prominent legacies of excellence, distinction, and consequence.

HOW WE WORK

We are not focused on short-term desires, but long-term goals and ambitions. We see the greater picture and then build a platform by developing a playbook that administers leadership, initiates engagement, transforms cultures, influences customers and constituents, and earns trust through actions and collaborative efforts.

For Athletes & Entertainers An entrepreneur. An investor. A philanthropist. A multi-million dollar or even billion-dollar brand.

The most successful athletes just don’t ball anymore. The most highprofile entertainers don’t just make people laugh and sing along anymore. They’re difference makers. They’re change agents. They have reach far beyond the court, the stadium, the screen, and the stage.

But in order to capitalize on that celebrity, in order to impact a culture, in

We work directly with influencers and brands to tell stories and align corporate values with personal values.

order to develop a legacy that will extend far beyond those prime years, a solid foundation must be built professionally, financially, and socially.

The Remedy’s Sports+Entertainment practice offers career management services designed to provide a continuous strategy and a personalized plan that evolves over a lifetime and extends a personal brand into postcareer relevance and sustainability.

For Brands Any brand can find an athlete or entertainer to promote their products and appear in their commercials. If you’re offering money, the line to accept that cash has no limit.

But by delving in deeper to create multi-dimensional partnerships between the brand and the endorser, The Remedy’s Sports+Entertainment practice out-classes the competition with our strategic approach and creativity. This leads to long-lasting success, connecting an omni-channel view with an array of brand engagement tactics including advertising, promotion, social, influencer, and philanthropic programs.

We provide strategic support for brands and properties that drives revenue, increases ROI, and delivers impact.

We work collectively with brand managers and the C-suite to unleash the true vision and power of the brand toward the intended direction of the brand’s future. We then develop stories and craft strategies based on the specific passions, interests, and desires of athletes, celebrities, events, and new market dynamics that best fit the goals of the brand in connecting with their targeted customers and consumers. This fosters an aligned partnership based on real synergies between the brand and the endorser that more effectively reaches the intended demographic through advertising, marketing, and experiential activation.

Rely On The Remedy If the public perception of your brand isn’t hitting the right notes, your brand is singing the blues. And getting your brand back in harmony can be an ominous task. You need a powerful message, a clear, concise voice, and content with the capacity to engage your client base.

Perception is precious, and once an unintended perception permeates into the customer base, turning back public opinion is like trying to get toothpaste back in the tube.

The Remedy is a fully-integrated branding agency that can help successfully launch your new brand or get your existing brand back on track. It starts with an understanding of your desires and your current situation. Then we develop a strategy and a message for your brand designed to both overcome the current challenges and position (or reposition) your brand into a space that allows it to become impactful within its niche.

From there, The Remedy provides you with the right content that works in unison across all platforms to deliver to a targeted audience the new voice of your brand.

Similar to fine-tuning an instrument, this process will properly align your brand so that it no longer sings the blues, but instead delivers the sweet harmony and sultry notes of impactful results.
