At RUSSO, our philosophy is directly related to our process, which we call Razor Branding™. Razor Branding develops brands from the inside out, establishing a series of branded touchpoints that form emotional connections with the consumer. Developing these connections relies heavily on understanding the psychographics of consumer behavior, and not just demographic profiles that rarely tell the whole story.
Understanding perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and the lifestyles of our clients’ consumers better position us to develop messaging that motivates individuals and best meets their needs – regardless of industry, size, location, or category.
RAZOR BRANDING™: OUR PROCESS
Razor Branding works towards three primary goals at all times: Focus, Connection, and Harmony.
FOCUS- We identify your audience. Then we use psychological profiling to discover what they think and how they feel. We get to know them personally — right down to what motivates them.
CONNECTION- We learn what resonates with your audience. Then we use your most unique qualities to bridge their wants with what you deliver.
HARMONY- We create a system of branded touchpoints for circulating your message through the right channels.
RUSSO is made up of marketing, advertising, communications and branding professionals from all over the country – having worked in diverse markets such as, Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Nashville and Seattle. At our Louisiana offices, we like to refer to ourselves as “Boomerangers” – those individuals who left the state for a time, only to return with a renewed passion for their home. We believe this gives us a unique perspective on what our area has to offer, as well as the national experience to work within any market.
