Starfish is a branding and creative communications agency founded on the philosophy that the brand experience is the brand. It is our strong belief that a brand is the sum total of all the interactions a customer has with a brand, and we work tirelessly to ensure that all of a brand’s expressions are in sync. We believe that the most effective marketing starts with a sound brand strategy and employ proprietary methodologies to achieve an extraordinary level of brand integration. In the era of experience and CX optimization, a unique and compelling brand is critical in creating satisfying customer experiences. We are experts in integrating brand into all digital and physical customer interactions, a practice we call BX. Through our rigorous approach to building brand strategies and our numerous proprietary BX methodologies and processes, we are able to achieve an extraordinary level of brand integration. By aligning and synchronizing a brand’s core brand idea with the touchpoints and expression in four key operational segments (marketing communications, internal culture, product/service offering, and operations), we are able to create customer experiences that change people’s impressions and relationships with brands.
