About this service

Summary

A guided process to build your brand
Following the deliverables laid out above we will explore the depths and drives of your business, product or project's brand.
Laying down a clear blueprint that reflects the details gleaned in our workshops and review sessions, a brand architecture system will emerge.
With these insights, resonances, aims, story, voice and visual support materials bundled into a clear Brand Architecture and Style Guide PDF, you will have a clear roadmap to build a coherent, integrated identity that truly reflects the integrity of your aims.
This document then becomes a valuable tool for briefing communication and design teams in the unfolding development of your brand.
Steps
Each step will follow the same basic process with up to three rounds of revisions per step:
intake session
research and reflection
presenting the results
receiving your feedback
integrating in a subsequent round of revisions
approval of final deliverable
