Frequently Asked Questions

Go ahead, ask away

What is a brand? +

Think of a brand as a personality or identity for a company, product, or even a person (yep, individuals can have personal brands too!). It's like the clothes you wear, the way you speak, and the vibes you give off.

A brand helps people recognize and connect with what you represent. It's the thing that sets you apart from the competition and makes you memorable.

What is visual branding? +

When it comes to visual branding, we're talking about all the eye-catching and visually appealing elements that make up your brand's look and feel.

We build full brand systems that typically include a logo, color palette, typography, and imagery or graphics usages.

Once we're done, we document your new brand with an overview of all of your visual elements.

Why is branding so important for my business? +

Strong branding sets you apart, tells your unique story, and creates a memorable impression on your audience. It's the secret sauce for attracting your dream customers and leveling up your business game.

How do I know if I need rebranding? +

If your brand feels outdated, doesn't align with your current goals, or fails to resonate with your target audience, it might be time to consider a rebrand. Let's chat, and we'll help you figure out if a makeover makes sense for your business.

I already have a logo. Do I still need branding? +

Great question! While a logo is a vital part of your brand, branding is so much more. We'll craft a strategic roadmap to ensure your brand shines across all touchpoints, creating a cohesive and captivating experience for your audience. And, if there are elements of your current brand that are working for you, no problem. We can work to evolve and and enhance your brand rather than reinventing it.

How long does the branding process take? +

Ah, the million-dollar question! The branding process can vary depending on your specific needs and the scope of the project. We want to give your brand the love and attention it deserves, so we'll work closely together to set a timeline that fits your unique situation. Rest assured, we'll keep the process moving while delivering top-notch results.

I have a limited budget. Can I still afford to work with you? +

Let's chat! We have branding options that fit across budget ranges.

How do I know that working with you will be worth it? +

We've got a proven track record of successfully helping businesses like yours achieve their branding goals. Our strategic approach, combined with our experience and expertise, ensures that we create brands that resonate with your target audience and align with your business objectives. We're also happy to share previous work and testimonials from our happy clients who have seen tangible results from our branding services.

Can you help with naming my business or product? +

Absolutely! We'll brainstorm, play with words, and come up with catchy, memorable names that align perfectly with your brand.

Do you offer ongoing support after the branding is complete? +

Of course! We're in this for the long haul. We're here to support you even after we've wrapped up your branding. Whether you need design support or guidance with brand implementation, we've got your back.
