WORKING WITH BLACK & WHITE

To give our best—our best thinking, our best design, our best effort—we need the best from you. A collaborative client is fundamental to success.

Annual Report Design Process

HOW WE WORK

We employ a time-tested process in every meaningful engagement. It’s evolved over the years—adaptive to new technologies, personnel and personalities, client expectations, and experiences—ever so slightly, all in pursuit of getting better results.

STEP 01

LEARN

ASSESSMENT: How can we help?

IMMERSION: Questions, lots of questions.

RESEARCH: What’s everybody else doing?

STEP 02

RECOMMEND

ANALYSIS: Here’s what we found.

STRATEGY: Here’s what we should do.

VALIDATION: Sound good to you?

PLANNING: Here’s how we’re going to do it.

STEP 03

DO

IDEATION: How do these ideas look and sound?

PROTOTYPES: Here’s what it’s gonna look like.

EXECUTION: Write it, design it, film it, build it.

TESTING: How’s it working?

LAUNCH: Look at me!

REFINE: All good now.

But no matter how we articulate the process, it boils down to one thing which holds true in most every life experience: YOU ONLY GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN. To achieve the best for our clients, we need the same from them.

If you work with Black & White, you will expect results. But that outcome is inexorably tied to our client’s willingness to collaborate and their passion for whatever initiative we’re undertaking.

Our most meaningful and consequential work stems from partnerships with clients who are kind, transparent, equitable and helpful.

“We take great pride in the story behind our brand and how we convey that to our customers, employees and shareowners alike. In working with Black & White, we’ve found a partner who understands our unique place in the market and how to best articulate and capture that story in a visually interesting way that resonates with our audience.”

JRA CASE STUDY

“Our branding exercise resulted in a new identity and website that provide the community with a clear understanding of our strategy and efforts to make Kentucky a better place. Because Black & White took the time to get to know us and our objectives, they were able to help us effectively distill our messaging and capture the essence and scope of the Foundation. Black & White played an integral role in making that a reality.”
