Brand agency from Tilburg

Brand agency Tilburg

Schwung is a brand agency in Tilburg that builds brands that hold together. We work from brand essence through identity and positioning to activation in the market: one clear foundation you can use for corporate, internal and recruitment communication.

What is a brand agency?

A brand agency builds and guards your organisation's brand: why you exist, what you stand for, how you look and how you sound. The difference with a pure design studio is the order: we start with strategy and work from there towards design and execution.

That way each expression reinforces the whole. Your logo, your website and your campaign are not created in isolation, but from the same story. That is what makes a brand credible and consistent, across channels and over time.

A brand in four layers

Our brand model builds a brand step by step. Each layer builds on the previous one, so that strategy, design and execution come from the same foundation.

The Schwung brand model: a wheel with the Brand DNA at its core, surrounded by the layers Head & heart (brand essence), Talk & image (identity) and Action & strength (positioning).
The Schwung brand model in one image, from the Brand DNA at its core to Head & heart, Talk & image and Action & strength. To the brand approach
01

Head & heart

The brand essence: the reason you exist and the inside of your organisation, before a single image is made.

02

Talk & image

The brand identity: how you look, sound and behave. Logo, imagery and tone of voice aligned.

03

Action & strength

The positioning: the internal story turned towards the market need, in a sharp brand promise.

04

Brand activation

The brand to market: concept, campaign, website and content that convert and build brand value.

Frequently asked questions about our brand agency

What is a brand agency?

A brand agency builds and guards an organisation's brand: why you exist, what you stand for, how you look and how you sound. Unlike a pure design studio, Schwung starts with strategy and works from there towards identity, positioning and activation. That way all your communication comes from one foundation.

What is the difference between a brand agency and an advertising agency?

The distinction is blurring. A classic advertising agency makes expressions and campaigns; a brand agency first builds the foundation beneath them. Schwung is both: we think brand-led and we actually make the work. See also our advertising agency in Tilburg.

Which organisations does the Schwung brand model work for?

For organisations that want to tell more sharply what sets them apart, want to become more relevant to their audience, or want to find and retain better staff. We work a great deal for healthcare, government and business in Brabant, for corporate, internal and recruitment communication.

Do you also do rebranding and a new visual identity?

Yes. Whether you are starting from scratch, merging or ready for a fresh brand course: we work from brand essence through identity and positioning to activation. The logo is the final piece, not the starting point.

Does Schwung also work as a brand agency outside Tilburg?

Certainly. From Tilburg we work for clients across Noord-Brabant, including Eindhoven, 's-Hertogenbosch and Breda.
