Driving your brand.

Marketing + Communications Strategies

Daring + Kind helps create and implement marketing and communications strategies to build and develop brands, support sales, and drive top-line growth. Our team of experienced marketing and communications advisors has expertise across the full spectrum of marketing and communications services, including strategic marketing, media coaching, brand design and development, pricing, digital marketing and online strategy, POS marketing, customer life-cycle management, campaign marketing, events and promotions, and public relations.

Marketing should be viewed as an investment in your brand, not a cost center.


Marketing + Communications Transformations

In addition to fulfilling specific marketing mandates, we work closely with you on building long-term client capabilities, defining roles and responsibilities, developing internal skills, identifying potential partners, and uncovering new perspectives on the consumer decision journey (CDJ). We work with you to make core transformations in marketing strategy and operations, re-prioritizing marketing spend across markets and products/services, designing new customer experiences, and re-defining messages to increase brand awareness, drive demand for existing products and services, strengthen consumer relationships, and optimize marketing ROI.
