SO,
HERE
WE ARE

We started as a small boutique ad agency in 1999 that quickly gained national recognition for creative excellence. A few years later we affiliated with DDB and since 2007 we’re known as Herz Brand Interface.

Our mission: Creating a unified voice for our clients’ brands across all channels, applications and touchpoints.

WHAT IS
BRAND
INTERFACE

Your brand is more than a name. Or a logo. Your brand is your personality, your character and your promise to the consumer. Your brand is your company’s face, heart and soul in the marketplace. And each time a consumer sees, hears, or touches your brand, you are leaving them with an impression.

This complex relationship has to be managed at every point of contact. So that your brand values stay consistent. And so that the value of your brand is enriched, not just by the quality of product or service, but also by the emotional tie the consumer feels to the brand itself.

At Herz Brand Interface, we not only bring added value to your brand, we enhance it at every touch point. The result: A brand consumers covet – and pay more to own.

WHY WE’RE HERE

Global corporations spend billions developing brand identities. Smaller companies often feel that this is beyond their reach. We’re here to help small and medium sized companies develop their own unique, powerful brand communication language so that every dollar they spend on marketing resonates with one distinct voice.
We do that by:

Identifying specific marketing communication challenges, resolving deadlock situations and helping organizations revive brands in distress.
Helping companies maintain consistent brand values in their Online and Offline communications – from advertising and design through interactive and new media.
Moving people – emotionally and physically – so that they change their perception, attitude and habits – and act.
Creating added value for the brand in the consumer’s mind.
Moving businesses to a more desirable position, increasing market share, achieving higher ratings and better profits.
Developing effective, memorable work that will generate WOM and publicity.

So we could talk about TRP, SEO, PPC, CTR but what we really care for is your ROI.
