BRAND

Understand who you are. Create deeper connections.

Branding is the process of connecting good strategy with good creativity.
— Marty Neumeier, author "The Brand Gap"

DISCOVERY

A brand is the set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or service over another.
— Seth Goudin, author "The Practice: Shipping Creative Work"

A unique, professional and consistent brand is critical to ensure that a business can stand out in a crowded market, maintain the attention of their loyal customers and attract the attention of potential new clients.

A well-crafted brand can convey the core values of a company and establish a strong connection with its target audience. By creating a consistent message across all touchpoints, from the logo, website, social media, to promotional materials, a company can establish trust and loyalty with its clients, making them more likely to recommend and advocate for the brand.

These brand advocates are incredibly valuable as they serve as influential ambassadors, helping to spread the word about the company and attract new clients.

In short, investing in a unique and professional brand can make or break a business, so it is crucial to get it right from the start.

Design is an art of situations. Designers respond to a need, a problem, a circumstance, that arises in the world. The best work is produced in relation to interesting situations - an open-minded client, a good cause, or great content.
