1. Brand Positioning

Defines WHAT makes your brand stand out in a crowded market. It’s the unique space your brand occupies in people’s minds - what they think of when they hear your name.

2. Brand Pillars

Represent the WHY of your brand. They reflect the fundamental reasons your brand exists and guide all brand behaviours and messaging. Brands in the climate sector face unique challenges that require a different set of priorities. While traditional brand pillars are valuable, they should be adapted to focus on: Purpose, Planet, People, Progress, and Promise.

3. Transformation Statement

Articulates HOW your brand moves people from problem to solution. It turns your purpose into a powerful, concise message that resonates and drives action. It’s your ‘elevator pitch’ for why your climate organisation exists and why it matters**.**

6. Brand Touchpoints

HOW your brand is experienced across all interactions from first awareness to long-term advocacy. Every implementation increases visibility, builds trust, strengthening brands over time.
