Core CDA Messaging

CDA’s messaging framework must reflect our core values and our unique lens as a collective—how we see the world and the solutions we create. The messaging needs to be consistent and impactful across all communications, whether in brand positioning, client-facing materials, or internal content.

Core Brand Promise

CDA’s Core Brand Promise is about empowerment through collaboration and innovation, combining strategy, systems, and stories to transform brands and drive meaningful impact.

  • “We empower brands to shape their own future, crafting purposeful stories and systems that adapt to a changing world.”

     

    • Empowerment: We equip our clients to take control of their future.
    • Purposeful Stories and Systems: We leverage designs and technologies, but we also craft strategies and narratives that guide brands forward.
    • Adapt to a Changing World: The future is unpredictable, but we build adaptability and resilience into everything we create.

Key Differentiators

  • Co-Creation: We partner deeply with our clients, ensuring their input and vision are central to the process.
    • “We don’t just deliver—we collaborate, creating together.”

       

  • Design as Strategy: Our design work is a strategic tool to help clients solve real-world challenges, rather than just aesthetic or superficial.
    • “Design is a tool for change—strategic, impactful, and purpose-driven.”

       

  • Human-Centered & Inclusive Approach: We place human experience and empathy at the heart of everything we do, ensuring our work resonates deeply and fosters lasting connections.
    • “Our work connects with people on a human level—because people are at the center of everything we do.”

Support Points

Support points elaborate on the what and how of our brand promise, touching on the process, results, and the collaborative nature of our work.

  • Purposeful Collaboration: From brand strategy to digital ecosystems, we create tailored solutions that reflect each client’s unique vision.
    • “Through collaboration, we tailor every solution to fit your vision and your unique needs.”

       

  • Transformative Impact: Our work doesn’t just look good—it drives measurable change that evolves and scales.
    • “Design that moves beyond aesthetics—into lasting impact that grows with you.”

       

  • A Collective Force for Innovation: At CDA, we leverage the power of the collective—different perspectives combining to create solutions that are innovative and sustainable.
    • “Innovation emerges when diverse perspectives coalesce—together, we create new possibilities.”

Using the Messaging Framework

  • Proposals & Pitches: Start with the core brand promise to position CDA as a collaborative partner focused on empowering brands. Follow with key differentiators to show how CDA is unique and relevant to their needs.

     

  • Website & Marketing: Use the support points to explain what CDA does and how we create value. For example, tailored solutions for each brand, human-centered design, and impactful, measurable results.

     

  • Social Media & Blog: Pull from the unique worldview section to communicate CDA’s position on innovation, design, and collaboration in a way that resonates with a wide audience.

     

  • Internal Communication: Use the core messaging to remind the team of our overarching purpose. When discussing projects, relate to the collaborative, human-centered approach and the transformative nature of our work.

Final Thoughts

CDA’s core messaging framework reflects our unique lens on the world: we are a collective force for co-creation, innovation, and impact. Whether developing a brand story or designing transformative systems, our approach is always rooted in collaboration and empowerment, building solutions that evolve with our clients and the world around us.

 

By keeping these messaging principles consistent across all communications, we ensure that CDA’s voice remains clear, inspiring, and purpose-driven, inviting our audience to join us in shaping the future together.
