What sets us apart? Movere℠
Why should you care? Results
We have an unbroken track record of delivering results, and delighting customers.
How? Our secret sauce: Movere.
Movere is not a random made-up word.
(though those can be fun too, like naming new products!)
At CRC, Movere stands for powerful, emotionally-resonant branding and messaging—the (only) kind we do—that gives people the ‘feels’ and motivates them to take action… Like clicking on ‘Buy’, ‘Contact’ or ‘Subscribe’.
Movere is that special something that arises from the mélange of our expertise and process, and it’s what sets CRC apart.
Movere is rooted in science.
Our left-brain + right-brain approach means our creativity is always built atop data-driven insights, and this is no different.
Research has shown that ‘emotions’ and ‘feelings’ heavily influence a customer’s purchase decisions, and their loyalty to a brand.
But Movere is not just about throwing around a bunch of emotions and calling it a day—instead, we carefully and strategically weave a branded narrative that creates a powerful experience for your customers, evoking feelings that move them to take action.
According to a 2017 Forrester study:
“99% of our decision-making is based on emotional algorithms—not rational evaluation—which means that ‘emotions’ and ‘feelings’ play a central role in all decision-making processes, even when it comes to B2B customers.”
“Feelings’ influence a customer’s buying decision and loyalty 1.5x times more than any other factor studied.” – Forrester Study, 2017
How does Movere work?
First, we identify the win-win spot, where your brand’s value propositions and your defined target audience’s interests align.
Then, we address these shared interests via a compelling branded narrative—well-chosen words that paint a story, creating a virtual experience of your product or service for your customer… in turn, evoking powerful emotions and feelings, moving them to take immediate action.
Action, like engagement, conversions, sales, and word of mouth.
