Who we work with

Our Personal Approach

We help brands to find their meaning.  The reason they exist.

And we use that clarity to help to propel them to the next level. Our approach is to get to know you, to listen and learn about you and your customers, their needs, their wants, and how you serve them. To find out what’s unique about your offering.

We then follow these three steps…

Simplify

Be it a briefing call, UX research or facilitated brand workshops – we cut through the confusion, clutter and complexity until you have absolute clarity on what you are doing. And why. We are the simplifiers of messages and believe less is more.

Create

We craft inspiring designs, impactful creative campaigns and innovative digital solutions that will help you attract and connect with your tribe. More importantly, we deliver the ‘gut feelings’ that are the hallmark of truly meaningful branding.

Empower

We equip you, and your team, with the tools you need to consistently reinforce your brand positioning across every touchpoint. This third step in the branding and rebranding process is critical in empowering you to communicate with clarity.

What our clients say

“TOTEM energised this branding project for us. Because we know the story we are in. But they helped us open it up. To see larger, broader and to focus on the vision in developing our brand strategy. And it was very interesting for me. They came with a narrative that forced us to really think about it. To get through the story to the vision. . To get through the story to the vision. Honestly, we could not have achieved this rebranding without them.”

Léone Atayi

CEO, Aton

“Working with TOTEM as our branding agency has been refreshing. We found in Colin and his team a shared passion for doing things right and reappraising the status quo, to do the right things. I'm a firm believer in getting the brand strategy right first, investing time at the outset to get the rebranding process right and then trusting the creatives to deliver the outputs based on these vital inputs. This is working for us at Cork Airport. Our business has literally taken off with TOTEM on board to pilot our brand.”

Kevin Cullinane

Group Head of Communications, daa

“I would recommend this branding process with Colin and the team at TOTEM, start to finish. In fact, I already have. TOTEM are already hard at work on a brand development project with a CEO who is a former colleague of mine, and he's thanked me for recommending them to him as his branding agency.”

Colm Healy

CEO, Corrata

“On this brand development journey, TOTEM helped us articulate what it is about us that makes us unique. Why our clients recommend and refer others to us. The brand strategy gave us a level of clarity we didn't have before. And a huge sense of pride as a team, to see ourselves accurately reflected with a new brand positioning, brand identity, and website we can believe in. That's a great feeling.”

John O’Connell

Managing Partner

“TOTEM did an amazing rebranding job for Fitzgerald Power. This project was a foundational element of our growth and branding strategy, and Colin and his team were the perfect partners to execute it. They took the time to gain a deep understanding of what we do and helped us to articulate our purpose and brand positioning. The results were exceptional.”
