Our work
Consumer products
Brand build and 2-year market expansion roadmap for a prestige beauty brand.
From a product-first entry point, Composite built the brand system from the ground up, using brand audits and research to unify positioning, messaging, creative direction, campaign architecture, and the promotional calendar.
Working alongside creative partners, we coded the system into identity and look and feel, while clarifying the criteria for prioritizing campaigns, evaluating creative output, and improving customer experience.
Briefs, dashboards, governance, and review cadence linked brand equity to long-run demand. For scalable acquisition, we aligned price-pack architecture, marketing, product development, and sales to launch an exclusive subline with a major masstige retailer.
Creative agencies
Repositioning, market expansion, and fractional brand strategy for a design services agency.
In a shifting market, we helped leadership broaden the appeal of their design services from venture-backed startups toward established enterprises.
Stakeholder conversations and a category audit revealed what was essential to retain, and what needed to change, including possible rebrand opportunities. We helped fold in strategy with creative as the client portfolio expanded.
Space research & exploration
Value proposition development for an aerospace company.
To make the value easier to recognize in a growth period, we honed the value proposition by synthesizing existing pitch decks, a category audit, and market analysis. We translated the technical offerings into language that resonated with commercial audiences without sacrificing credibility.
Much of Composite's work is conducted confidentially or behind the scenes. Engagements are described without identifying details where appropriate.
