Services

Newhaus views communications as a beacon that helps organizations find and defend their sweet spot in the market. Communications contribute to achieving an organizational or a business goal or to solving a problem. In order to leverage the whole palette of communications to fulfill the task at hand, Newhaus works with a network of business consultants, CSR and policy experts, video- and photographers, graphic designers and editors.

Communications strategy development and implementation

At the core of every successful communications activity is a thorough analysis of the status quo. What strengths can we build on, what weaknesses should we be aware of, where are the opportunities and what threats do we need to circumvent? The definition of the right strategy comes next: what exactly are we aiming at and how do we get there most efficiently? This means we have to identify our leverage, know our audiences and define the very essence of our communications efforts: the messages that supply our communications content. Newhaus can help with every step in the process.

Brand development and positioning

Brand building starts with a lot of questions. The first question is: how do we want our organization or our product to be perceived by our target audiences? The answer to this question is limited by our organization‘s potential and by the environment it is operating in. It helps us determine the brand positioning. A crucial element – especially when it comes to successful brand building. Next is a definition of the brand identity – the attributes and values of a brand which inform design aspects and wording as well as sales, customer management and hiring processes. It is a crucial element of a company’s performance in the market.

Brand building and brand awareness through ongoing communications

Brand building is a long-term process and the result of numerous interactions and communications with our audiences, based on pre-defined communications content. There’s a wide array of tools that can be leveraged. Whatever might be right for your organization, Newhaus can help with media relations, social media planning and management as well as other hands-on communications tasks.
