What we do
We focus on three practice areas to provide fresh thinking that grows brands
Brand Strategy
Lila & Company helps new and existing brands articulate its path to growth. We uncover what drives consumers, what marketplace gaps exist, and what is relevant in culture to help develop a growth strategy for your brand. Lila & Company discovers new possibilities for your brand and an inspiring brand vision for everyone to rally behind.
Innovation
We develop innovation strategies and new products for brands – enduring ideas that will grow a brand within its category or stretch it into new territories. We develop ideas grounded in consumer, cultural, and marketplace insights, and created from a brand’s DNA. We work with your internal cross-functional teams to create a pipeline of innovation ideas, and through collaboration and creativity, we aim to gain alignment across the entire team.
Training
Lila & Company offers trainings on topics critical in developing today’s brand leaders. We teach comprehensive trainings that up-level marketing professionals’ skills in branding, communications and research. These sessions are customized and co-created with leadership teams. Our seminars and workshops also include topics such as developing a brand blueprint, writing great concepts, finding your purpose, cultivating creativity, and building effective teams.
Values
There are four beliefs that drive how we approach our work
Creativity
We believe creativity is in everyone. Lila & Company is dedicated to tapping into the creativity in ourselves, our clients and our collaborators.
Curiosity
We think that it is helpful to look at every brand challenge from the perspective of an explorer or a child. When we discover, learn and experience the world around us, we can ignite our passion and become more insightful stewards for our brands.
Growth
Growth is at the cornerstone of what we do. We harness creativity to inspire strategically sound work that aims to do one thing – help our clients grow their brands.
Collaboration
Unlike other consultants who work with a ‘black box’ approach, Lila & Company is committed to working collaboratively with clients to achieve session goals.
