At Truly Deeply, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to help our clients bring their brands alive. At the heart of this, is a firm belief that to be truly effective, every brand touchpoint must be reflective of the brand’s essence. A brand’s essence, is a single thought that encapsulates the soul of who that brand is. It expresses clearly what the brand stands for in a simple and powerful manner and it underpins the fundamental promise to clients. This promise is one of its most important assets and one that needs to be leveraged across all customer touch points. For most, the essence is never explicitly communicated unlike a corporate or campaign tagline, but is rather the thought behind its actions. This thought drives every aspect of the brand. One brand who is particularly skilled at living its essence, is Britain’s T-Mobile.

It’s virtually impossible to track the way we intuitively utilize digital in our daily lives.

You’ve only got to turn on the tele or open a newspaper to be reminded of the obsession we have in this country with retail price discounting. Whether selling doors or doormats, books or bras, televisions or toys, having a Super Summer Sale or a Massive Markdown Madness is the fall back marketing strategy of choice for many Australian retailers.

It’s not every day we get all hot and steamy about a new member of the team – but Wednesday this week wasn’t just any other day. We’re all pretty pumped around the Truly Deeply studio to introduce… Our new espresso machine.
No we’re not addicted to our hit(s) of espresso.
Yes, we have taken our love affair to a new level with this bad boy.
