FULL SERVICE BRANDING, ADVERTISING AND MARKETPLACE COMMUNICATION

Quite simply, BFT's prime objective is to create highly memorable brands by making them famous. Why would a brand not want to be famous? Can there be a better strategy for any product or service?

BFT is a full service agency in every respect—the 'whole egg' (as it is called): very much a 'one-stop' shop. For clients who do not need such an all-encompassing offer, we provide an 'a la carte' range of services—but even in that instance, the client feels like it is full service.

Account Planning

Our clients' marketing and promotional requirements are strategically planned utilizing the British, highly acclaimed Account Planning system—now adopted by the US's leading advertising agencies and more enlightened organizations. Much is written about "Planning" as a prime strategic function. Fundamentally, it places the consumer central to the creative process.....thereby ensuring that the brand's strategy and promotional execution are not implemented in isolation from those people for which the product or service is intended. The further vital role of the system is to be the brand's champion, keeping its key attributes to the fore. This results in straightforward and sensible marketing proposals.

In the development of a winning Brand Strategy, Account Planning embraces data and research analysis, individual group discussion (often based on BFT's Brand Audit system), brainstorming, social anthropology and a little soothsaying…but, above all, it is the voice of the consumer.

Creative executions are produced by our teams of writers and art directors applying their national and international experience. The whole adds up to a service that many regional clients cannot hope to obtain in their marketplace.

We are constantly pushing for new ways to create insight and understanding of our clients’ existing and potential consumers and their relationship and perceptions to products, brands and advertising. The promotion of a brand must include a passion and respect for the views and inner feelings of potential customers.

Our clients find the entire Account Planning process, throughout their brand’s life cycle, highly valuable – not only for brand promotion but as an internal business model.
