OUR APPROACH
OUR SERVICES

commsLAB AG is a research-based consulting boutique focused on profile-compliant positioning. Its Profile Management approach supports organisations in systematically aligning stakeholder perceptions with their strategic profile..

We identify. Trend detection of key economic and socio-political narratives

We analyse. Analysis of the impact on tangible and intangible value-adding factors

We advise. High consulting expertise based on empirical data

We provide organisations with a sound basis for decision-making to support long-term, profile-aligned, value-creating positioning. Our advisory services focus in particular on the following areas:

Communication

Strategic Positioning

Profile Management

Based on a robust, empirically grounded data foundation, we develop practical recommendations for action

whether and where the public presence of your organisation needs to be corrected

whether and where fundamental strategic course corrections need to be made

whether and where credibility or attractiveness of your profile is at risk

The objective is not to maximise reputation per se, but to ensure alignment with the company’s strategic profile. Reputation Management is therefore not a beauty contest!

Our Approach: Profile-Aligned Solutions

A distinctive and authentic corporate profile is the indispensable compass of every organisation. The profile plays a key role in managing and steering the relevant perception of an organisation — both inside and outside the organisation. The profile must be both attractive and credible.

Profile Management: What you can expect

Ensuring or restoring profile compliance is our highest maxim

  • We help organisations align internal and external perceptions with their intended profile.
  • We advise on the development and management of a distinctive, authentic profile.
  • At the same time, we safeguard credibility by addressing any gaps between words and actions.
  • We work closely with our clients throughout, recognising that a credible profile cannot be imposed from the outside.

For the concrete implementation we make sure that…

  • a clear understanding exists of what defines and sustains the organisation’s profile, and how it can be translated into concrete strategic and communication initiatives;
  • the profile is balanced across three dimensions (functional, social, and expressive);
  • the profile is firmly embedded in the existing organisational culture;
  • the organisation’s history is actively leveraged as a profile-shaping narrative;
  • the profile is consistently lived by the organisation’s key representatives.
