Branding and design
Every business needs a great brand
Data-driven branding meets good design. Discover the 'real you', tell the world, get the girl (or boy... or cake).
Here’s why our clients come to us
"Our B2B site looks like every other business website."
"We don't have a coherent online message."
"Honestly, our logo is straight out of the ‘90s."
"My boss said we need a unique brand positioning."
Brand strategy
Here’s where we get nerdy and try to figure out who you are, and who your customers think you are.
Employee surveys and interviews
Tone of voice and messaging analysis
Personas and audience research
Guideline development
Proposition creation
This is your flag on Mars. The Big Idea.
Look – your brand isn’t just what you want it to be. It’s a combination of your opinions and those of your customers. We’ll work with you to express these with clear brand positioning.
The values we develop with you can inform decision-making and we’ll provide keywords, imagery and palates for all your messaging and platforms.
Logos and brand identity
Our guiding principle for logos: never blindly design trendy symbols.
We ensure your logo and imagery are informed by messaging guidelines, personas and proposition development.
All the designs we build and naming recommendations we make are backed by research and justified with compelling explanations, not razzle-dazzle.
Ongoing optimisation
Brand evolution is crucial. We’re experts at iteration (translation: learning quickly from mistakes and improving things based on data), and treat branding and design as an ongoing process.
Our in-house data analysis team provides further recommendations for your website and content marketing, so we can focus on the changes that will make the biggest difference to you.
Brand documentation
What’s in your brand book?
These are the tangible outcomes that will help you to position your business as a competitor to be reckoned with in the market. And, more importantly, attract paying customers.
We help you build personas (representations of your ideal customers), tone of voice documents and messaging guidelines (so you have a clear voice as a business), as well as brand guidelines so you are consistent throughout your communications.
