FAQs

When evaluating a freelance brand strategist's portfolio, focus on the diversity of industries and types of brands they have worked with. Look for evidence of clear, strategic thinking and creativity in their case studies. Pay attention to the measurable impact of their work on past clients’ brand presence and performance. This will help you determine if their style and expertise align with your brand's needs and objectives.
Start by outlining your brand’s current challenges and objectives. Clearly define what you hope to achieve with the brand strategy project. Collaborate with the strategist to identify key deliverables such as a brand audit, competitive analysis, brand positioning statement, visual identity guidelines, and an implementation plan. Ensure these deliverables are specific, measurable, and align with the timeline and budget you have in mind.
Establishing clear communication channels and a schedule from the onset is crucial. Agree on regular check-ins, whether weekly or bi-weekly, to discuss progress and any potential adjustments to the strategy. Use project management tools to keep everyone aligned and ensure that there's a shared file system for easy access to key documents and updates. This approach will help maintain transparency and keep the project on track toward successful completion.
