Our purpose
What we are here for. Three good reasons:

Our drive in one single sentence
We want to find out,
what makes organisations and individuals unmistakeable,
to enable to grow from within.
Our positioning
What makes us distinctive

Our mission is to discover how to significantly increase your attractivity and the power of your identity. We do this by delving deeply in the innermost being of a personality or core of an organisation uncovering the character of the brand and establishing its essence. We then enable people to live the brand every day and grow from within. Identity becomes attraction.
We develop unique brands by combining the proven laws of branding with the relevant insights of psychology. Everything we do is inspired by the strategies and problem solving of the most successful living system: our nature. In this way, we help to ensure that personalities and organisations leave a distinctive impression in a natural way.
Spall is the leading identity consultancy for organisations and individuals.
We do not help you seem better,
but to radiate from within.
Our mission
We turn identity
into attraction
Our values and principles
Our Essence

In everything we do, we are guided by the most successful living system:
nature.
Our principles
Do not invent. Discover.
Brands are created by distilling their natural gifts, beliefs, accomplishments, and passions. First duty: no fibbing!
Brand identity grows from its own roots.
And never from the successes of others. Brand energy is not generated by looking at supposed opponents. It lies within ourselves. Our role model? Nature.
Facts convince. Stories move.
We reach the people who matter by getting to the heart of a brand’s identity. And not just proving it with facts, but showing it through credible stories.
Corporate brands should touch. Personalities must touch.
Brand desirability is only generated by conveying a tangible feeling in the lives of others.
Brands are made in everyday life.
More important than the significant course-setting events are the many day-to-day opportunities to prove a brand promise. In short: Doing.
Our spirit
How we work

Born from within, brought to its essence and made actionable.
At Spall Brand Identity Consulting, we combine two basic attitudes: Franconian down-to-earthness and Silicon Valley belief that anything is possible.
We feel connected to this DNA at the core. But big ideas alone are not enough for us. We want to make big ideas “doable” in the everyday reality of corporate brands and personal brands. There is not one-size fits all blueprint for all projects. We immerse ourselves deeply in every person and every organisation. This is how we develop effective ideas: conceived from within, brought to the point and made possible.
Our 10 principles for meaningful work
- We firmly believe that every person and every organisation has something distinctive.
- We give meaning to people and organisations.
- We want to keep evolving every day. And do it a little better every day.
- We understand hard work as an essential enabler of success.
- We make mistakes. And grow because of them.
- We draw strength from our personal drive.
- We don’t want to play along, we want to make the difference.
- We speak plainly – directly, openly and personally.
- We encourage big leaps that not everyone dares to take.
- We don’t just get people to think in new ways. We inspire them to do.

Work is no longer a place, but an activity.
We are a highly specialized team of ID consultants for brands. We promote a culture of an open exchange with an intensive feedback culture, where everyone can contribute their ideas.
This inspires us to new thoughts, connections and projects beyond the beaten path. Everyone works in the appropriate environment for the task at hand. Whether at the desk at home, comfortably on the sofa, focussing in a a quite room or during a discussion at the standing table in the office. Mobile working has been with us since 2013.
Our office is located at the beautiful Pegnitzauen in Nuremberg-Johannis. The open-plan office invites exchange with other people and disciplines. We share our floor with occupational psychologists, for example. Sometimes it takes a meeting on our green roof terrace with a view of Nuremberg’s castle district before complex things become simple.
Brand ID Consulting

Exciting brands, corporate cultures and personalities make our everyday lives valuable.
We are always excited to apply our methodology to new companies and personalities.
To do this, we work our way into each industry in depth. We don’t polish brands on the surface or tinker with tiny levers. We have insight and access to the entire organisation or the entire personality of a person.

Our work

People only follow a path permanently if they have found it themselves.
Our work has two main points of focus. On the one hand, the analytical, conceptual development activity in the Spall Brand Identity Consulting team and, on the other hand, the empowerment of our customers on site in intensive workshops. In our development work we use brainstorming and inspiration sessions, creative meetings and in-depth interviews. Together with our clients we develop the brand in small groups and 1:1 coaching sessions. We empower people from their inner conviction to take a clear path for their company or themselves. Sometimes this requires building something new based on their own identity. And sometimes it is more effective to build on something that already exists and take it into the future in meaningful ways. We do not impose anything, and we do not force anything.
