FAQs

What qualifications should I look for in a freelance brand strategist on Contra?

When hiring a brand strategist, look for someone with experience in branding and marketing. They should have a portfolio showing successful brand projects they have worked on. Check if they have experience working with businesses similar to yours, especially if you are based in Alberta. Industry experience can help them understand your local market better. Certifications or a proven track record in brand strategy can also be useful.

How can I define clear deliverables with a brand strategist?

Start by discussing your business goals and brand vision with the strategist. Together, outline what you want to achieve, like a new brand identity or improved brand perception. Make a list of specific tasks, like creating a brand story or designing a logo, with deadlines. It's important that both you and the strategist have a clear understanding of the project outcome from the beginning. Clear deliverables help keep everyone on the same page.

How do I agree on a project timeline with a brand strategist?

Discuss the timeline as early as possible to avoid misunderstandings. You should consider any time-sensitive events or launches your business has in Alberta. The strategist can help you set realistic timelines based on your requirements and their availability. Create a schedule with milestones for different project stages. Regular check-ins can ensure that the project stays on track and any issues are addressed promptly.

What tools should I use to manage the brand strategy project?

Use project management tools to track tasks and deadlines. Tools like Trello or Asana can help you and the strategist stay organized and communicate efficiently. Collaboration tools will allow for easy sharing of design files and brand documents. Make sure both of you are comfortable with the tools you choose. This will help in ensuring a smooth workflow.

How should I handle communication with my brand strategist to ensure a successful project?

Establish a communication schedule from the start, like weekly updates or regular check-ins. Use emails, video calls, or messaging apps that you both prefer. Open communication is key, so make sure to share feedback and ask questions whenever needed. If your business is growing in Alberta, in-person meetings can be effective. This helps maintain a strong working relationship and ensures project success.

How do I assess the progress of my brand strategy project?

Set performance metrics based on your brand goals. These could include increased brand awareness, customer engagement, or market reach in Alberta. Regularly review the deliverables and compare them against these metrics. Ask for regular updates and documentation from your strategist. This helps ensure that the project achieves the desired impact and aligns with your objectives.

How can I ensure the brand strategy aligns with my business goals?

Discuss your long-term business goals with the strategist at the start. Share any market insights or business challenges you face, particularly in Alberta. The strategist should develop a plan that supports these goals through effective brand positioning and messaging. Make sure to approve key elements like your brand's mission statement and visual identity. Ongoing collaboration will ensure alignment.

What legal considerations should I keep in mind when hiring a freelance brand strategist?

Although Contra is commission-free, it’s important to have a clear contract. Include important details like IP rights, confidentiality, and deliverable ownership. Ensure the contract protects your business interests and follows Alberta's regulations. It is wise to consult a legal advisor if you are unsure about the terms. This minimizes risks and outlines cooperation terms clearly.

How can I prepare my team for working with a new brand strategist?

Introduce your team to the brand strategist through a meeting, either virtual or in-person. Share your strategic goals and any relevant background information. Empower your team to provide support and feedback during the project. Encourage open communication and collaboration between your team and the strategist. This will ensure everyone is aligned and contributes effectively.
