CREATIVITY AND CREATIVE STORYTELLING
People don’t want to be sold to. They want to be entertained, educated, and emotionally moved. Increasingly, brands are playing a bigger role in people’s lives, signalling the buyers’ values, taking up more space, solving issues the consumer cares about, and creating content. As the media landscape fractures, brands are filling the vacuum and turning into creators. We help craft how a brand shows up in the world, who it recruits as its audience, what it says to them and on which channels. We amplify what a brand wants to say by making it entertaining, educational or emotionally moving.
We care deeply about establishing a behaviour for a brand (or as Mischief specialise in, misbehaviour) which will enable it to strategically and creatively stand out. Setting a tone, a way of showing up that can be activated against long term. We don’t believe in one-off stunts (too little impact), we don’t believe in lofty creative platforms (which distort a clear message), we don’t believe in shoe-string budget comms (that cheapen the brand), we create work that is beautifully produced, strategically sound, and measurably impactful.
We use storytelling to align your brand with what your audience cares about and use this as a long-term framework that takes your brand from where it is now, to where it wants to go. Our stellar creative team of ideas people, designers, creative strategists and social and culture experts can tell brand stories through content, experiential, partnerships or data, solving briefs with creative ideas that will genuinely propel brands into new spaces.
Understanding your audience is the foundation of any successful brand strategy or communications strategy. We start with consumer audiences, and map the media and influencers that impact them the most.
