Tag–Red is an independent research–led consulting practice advising CEOs, founders and leadership teams on brand strategy.
We advise clients on brand strategy and marketing, including purpose, positioning, brand identity and architecture, product and service innovation, and communications.
Bridging strategy and execution, we partner with client teams and their agencies, supported by an extensive network of trusted researchers, designers, developers, social, e–commerce, PR, talent search etc.
Our partnership model allows us to build the best team for the task in hand and ensures that our delivery is highly attuned to client needs and budgets.
We work cross–sector for organisations at all stages of their growth cycle in the UK, Europe and US. The common denominator is that they are facing into change and want to think differently.
Tag–Red was founded by Nick Cross in 2013.
