Today, companies know their assets. Nine out of ten sell the same products and services – same look, same performance, same value and price. How do you tell them apart? By their communication, their branding.
Branding adds emotion and inspires reactions. Our consumption decisions are driven by our emotions far more than we like to believe: our choices rely on a very subjective perception of quality and value.
Good Branding is Good Storytelling
All companies have the potential for a great story. It just needs to be found, focused on and unleashed through effective communication.
Operation Butterfly digs into the core of a company’s essence and develops the creative guideline to tell the company’s story: strong, real and memorable.
Brands are the Seal of Quality of the Future
We believe that when engaging with a product or service people are looking for two things:
- An emotional experience
- Transparency
In order to be successful in the long run, brands must provide both. Good corporate communication is sustainable communication. As strategic consultants, we set the direction, come up with a plan and then fill it in with colour: strategy becomes an idea, design and reality. In tight cooperation with our clients, we strive to fulfill the consumer’s needs.
Brands are Best Friends
You never forget first impressions. When you come to contact with a product or company for the first time, what really counts is what happens before you start reading.
Good, bad, boring, fascinating: the immediate impression will stick with you.
For us, brand experience is like a good conversation. We want our counterpart to be honest and straightforward, but also unconventional, surprising and fun. It’s the meeting of both souls that develops empathy, keeps it interesting and lays the roots for a long lasting friendship.
The creation of a long lasting and healthy consumer-brand relationship – that is Operation Butterfly’s n° 1 goal.
Too many design agencies pretend to know a company better than the entrepreneur. Operation Butterfly doesn't act before fully understanding the core of the enterprise, the market, the customers and the vision of the entrepreneur. The one and only agency we can take seriously.

Small change, huge effect: our company’s name derives from the butterfly effect phenomenon. In short: could the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Germany set off a tornado in America?
We believe it can. There might be even some turbulences on the moon – and beyond. Ready for the challenge? This could be the start of your unforgettable experience across the milky way:
