Unpopular opinion: Your LinkedIn profile is costing you more money than you realize.
Here's how to know if you need a rebrand:
If you have even ONE of these, you're losing clients:
ā Generic banners (looks like everyone else)
ā Random colors (no brand consistency)
ā No visual authority (nothing screams "expert")
ā No recognizable identity (instantly forgettable)
Time to decide: Keep losing opportunities to a forgettable profile?
Or invest in a rebrand that actually works?

What if consistency isnāt the goal of brand guidelinesā¦ just the baseline?
Consistency is usually the focus, but thatās not what actually makes a brand work.
Clarity does, and when a system is clear, consistency happens naturally
Quick example, SpokesPup š¶
The product already had a clear logic with the traffic light system, and we expanded it into a brand world people could actually follow.
What makes that work:
ā¢ Every element ties back to one idea.
ā¢ You donāt have to guess whatās on brand.
ā¢ Different executions still feel connected.
Most guidelines try to control outcomes, but the better ones guide decisions.
Consistency is just the side effect.
Would someone new know what to do without asking you?
Okay, this is absolutely amazing!
Currently building a brand for a deep tech venture. It is still in progress, but shaping up well.
We donāt start with colors or logos, we start with understanding what the company is really about ā then translate that into form, type and a system that stays consistent across everything.
Working on a new brand identity š
