Branding //
After working with clients for 7 years I’ve learned a lot about what they need, what they struggle with and how I can help them grow. This lead me to launch a new service to like-minded entrepreneurs and small businesses that want to truly represent who they are… their story, their passion and their audience.
My clients need more than a logo.
They need an identity. They need direction. They need consistency.
My new branding package does just that.
It gives you the power to stand out from your competitors and be proud of the business you’ve created. It creates trust and loyalty with your audience and makes your life simpler because your brand will be organized in a way that can be applied to your entire business.
BRANDING PACKAGE INCLUDES:
BRAND STRATEGY
PRIMARY + SECONDARY LOGO
MARK(S)
PATTERN
COLOUR PALETTE
FONT SYSTEM
BRAND GUIDELINES
Do any of the following sound like you?
You don’t know where to begin.
You have a kickass vision and so many ideas running in your head but can’t organize them in a way that makes sense.
You’re embarrassed.
You offer amazing services or products, you are one hell of an entrepreneur, and your clients are amazing BUT your “look” doesn’t mimic that which puts a huge dagger in your confidence.
Your brand isn’t consistent.
When you look at your social platforms, marketing collateral, website… it doesn’t look like one company.
And addition to the above, you like working with like-minded businesses that have the same values as you.
You believe communication is key to a great partnership. You appreciate organization. You trust other’s expertise. And most importantly, kindness rules all.
Branding Process//
STEP 1 : DISCOVER
To be able to create a brand that represents you… your story, your passion and your audience I need to know the ins and outs of your business. Here you will fill out a client questionnaire where you can tell me all the wonderful things that you’ve put your heart and soul into creating. We will then discuss it over the phone to make sure we’re both on the same page. This is important to proceed to the next step.
STEP 2 : STRATEGIZE
Here I will take all the building blocks that you gave me in the questionnaire and our phone chat and create an in-depth brand strategy. This will include researching your target market and your competitors to make you stand out and attract the right people. Your brand strategy will include your brands passion, purpose, audience and visual inspiration (moodboard). This will be our guide that we continually refer back to throughout the rest of the branding process to make sure we stay on brand. You will also be able to use it after we are finished working together to make sure that you continue to be consistent.
STEP 3 : DESIGN
Next, I will create your brand visuals based on the brand strategy that was created in the previous step. I take a one concept approach when it comes to design. This allows me to play around with all different design concepts which will direct me towards one strong concept that I will present you. Instead of offering you a handful of ‘OK’ concepts you will receive one concept that is the best solution for your brand based on your brand strategy. You will receive an in-depth PDF presentation that includes your primary and secondary logo, mark(s), pattern, colour palette and font system. Each brand visual will include a written explanation.
STEP 4 : REFINE
Here I will gather your feedback and we will discuss what is working well and what needs to be refined to better follow your brand strategy. There are two rounds of refinement included to achieve the best solution for your business and yourself.
STEP 5 : PACKAGE
Our work comes to an end and I package everything up for you to start sharing with the world. You will leave with a well thought out and organized brand which will give you confidence, brand consistency, and create more trust with your audience.
STEP 6 : ADD ONS
This step is optional. If you decide to add-on an additional service this is where I will complete the design(s). Similar to your brand visuals you will receive one concept and two rounds of refinement for each piece.
“It is hard to decipher exactly what your brand is. Although you know yourself, it is overwhelming to put together a perfect representation of yourself – but from looking on the outside. This is where Sarah absolutely excelled. Sarah took everything about me and created the most amazing brand strategy and design. It feels like me, and I feel really proud of all of it. I know it will help me take my business to the next level. Sarah is so professional, attentive and on the ball. She is very detail oriented, and asks all the right questions. She helped pull out details I never would have thought of but that are an instrumental part of my business. I am so happy with the result!”
