Design Strategy
Great experiences happen by design. At PriestmanGoode, design strategy is embedded into everything we do. We use it to transform businesses, to streamline processes, create experiences and bold brands that connect with stakeholders.
Design strategy is integral to every single element of your business: your internal processes, how easy something is to build, how efficient is it to run, how you can maintain it, as well as how it’s disposed of at the end of its lifecycle. Working on projects from the very outset allows us to identify painpoints in your process and work with you to deliver efficiencies throughout, and create outstanding products or customer experiences.
We unlock commercial opportunities by identifying and applying insight rooted in what your customers value and how they behave. Using a wide range of tools from market research, behavioural analysis, competitor analysis and future trends, our expert audits inform our design work, creating meaningful and compelling experiences with tangible benefits to your business and your customers.
Co-creation and collaboration are intrinsic to our design process. This human-centred approach allows us to develop strategic solutions and optimal experiences that allow stakeholders to connect and engage with your brand.
While every strategy we develop will be tailored to your specific needs and requirements, we do continuously invest in our own research, foresight, forecasting and strategic thinking, exploring some of the key themes driving society today and how these apply across different demographics, geographies and areas of everyday life. This means we have a constant wealth of knowledge to draw upon.
Our strategy team can also work with you to devise implementation schedules for new products and services. We work with large corporations, for whom it’s not always possible or practical to overhaul their business completely in the course of a single project or a year. For these companies, we will work out a plan to gradually align products and services, taking a stepped-approach that gradually carries forward a new design or identity across a company’s entire business. This helps you achieve a more holistic brand experience and maximises return on investment.
