This means defining not only what they do but also who they are \u2013 what their personality is, what they stand for, what sets them apart.<\/p>\n<p>Because in a crowded marketplace, defining who you are \u2013 in all your grainy uniqueness \u2013 is often the best way to stand out from your competitors.<\/p>\n<p>So how would we define our own brand, Equus? There are many ways we could do that, but we decided to use seven words beginning with the first two letters of our name, EQ. A lighthearted take perhaps, and a timely reminder that a brand has to have EQ as well as IQ to compete. So not as arbitrary a link as it sounds.<\/p>\n<p><!--row--><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-5 \">\n<p style=\"padding-top: 50px;\"><strong>EQUINE<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Trojan Horse was a secret weapon of considerable ingenuity, and as far as our clients are concerned, so is our creativity. On the outside, our work is very engaging. On the inside, it packs a real strategic punch.
