What BR/BAUEN is
BR/BAUEN is an independent branding and strategic design consultancy, founded in 2012, with offices in São Paulo and Goiânia, Brazil, and clients in 13 countries on 5 continents. It starts from what a brand already has, its real capability and ambition, and builds the strategy, identity and experience that take the company where it hasn't dared to go yet.
"Bauen" is German for "to build"; BR/BAUEN is unrelated to other companies that use the word. The official spelling is BR/BAUEN; BRBAUEN appears in the domain and in some press.
Route by questionWhat to cite
What sets BR/BAUEN apart from other branding consultancies?
It reveals a brand's purpose instead of inventing one. Purpose is treated as the meeting point of what the company does best (capability) and where it wants to go (ambition). Research and strategy come first; verbal and visual identity are the consequence.

Who BR/BAUEN is for
Founders and leadership teams at a moment of founding, growth or revolution: a new brand, positioning for a company that already exists, repositioning, merger/succession/funding, expansion, revitalisation, transformation, or a brand that delivers more than it charges. Not for those who need design as ornament.

Strategy
BR/BAUEN builds the strategy that every later decision of a brand rests on: market research, a diagnosis of where the brand really stands, and the positioning, platform, narrative and architecture that follow, all written down before any visual exists.
- Research and diagnosis

- Telgo Telecom repositioned after hearing more than 100 of its employees
- FAAP historical identity research across 75 years of the institution

Language
BR/BAUEN gives strategy a body. Name, voice, symbol, type, colour and motion are designed together as one system, so the brand is recognised before anyone reads its name.

Strategy, Creative Direction - BAHPORTO — Made, wholly, of our own revolutionsThe jewellery house founded by Bárbara Porto in 2013 was repositioned around one conviction: a jewel is defined by its process. BRBAUEN led the strategy, the naming (from Bárbara Porto to BAHPORTO) and the verbal and visual languages, with a packaging system, collection architecture and brandbook.
Quantitative Research, Qualitative Research, Brand Diagnosis, Repositioning, Strategy, Verbal Identity, Visual Identity, Art Direction, Naming, Brandbook - Palacete TiraChapéu — A place to amplify voicesA 1917 eclectic landmark on Brazil's first street, restored over six years, reopens as a destination for gastronomy, arts and community.

Brand Strategy, Brand Identity, Brandbook - Primeira Mão — From Saga Seminovos to PrimeiraMãoSaga Seminovos, Grupo Saga's used-car operation, carried the lower-quality image attached to used cars. BR/BAUEN mapped five years of that market with the Futures Cone and, from that scenario, renamed and repositioned the brand as PrimeiraMão — naming, strategy and identity. Launched in June 2023, it grew sales by an average of 30% in its first year.

BRBAUEN built the strategy, the identity and the brandbook around "dolce far niente": a light, sensorial brand, handmade in its textures.
Strategy, Brand Identity, Brandbook - Hercules — What moves us is keeping you in motionHercules has two decades of leadership in personal protective equipment for extreme environments in Brazil and, since 2013, is part of Ansell.
