B.A.S.H presented the sledgehammer as one badass tool. A SWAT team image was created, and helped frame a brash style of presenting the product that transferred into every piece of collateral associated with its launch.

Behind all of the work that comes out of the offices of Dorn Marketing is a belief in a step-by-step branding methodology that we like to call The Brand Up™ Process.

Grounded by a core selling idea, our creative team works closely with our clients to provide unique creative solutions to support their brands and products.

The Brand Up™ Process starts with extensive marketing research to help guide our team to coming to a core selling idea. Upon the realization of this idea, we create a platform on which all further branding activities are based.
