How strong is your brand?

Corporate identity and branding is by far my favourite form of design. It can sum up a company, a product, even a person with the use of an adopted style. Sometimes it’s not very clear what branding actually is, the word has become overused and diluted.

Branding is not just a ‘buzz’ word made up by sales men, it’s an integral part of your marketing. Branding is the collection of all things an audience will experience, and how all the brand elements work together. For company’s the logo(s), color palette, photo style, typeface, tag line, brand message, placement, treatment or any other connection the audience has defines the brand.

Personal branding uses the same ideas, but it becomes more personal. An individual’s Twitter profile, avatar, background, tweets, etc… accomplish the same thing, that’s right whether you knew it or not you’ve probably branded yourself! The goal is to be consistent. Strong brands like Nike or Coke are strong brands through consistent use of brand elements.

The best brands can stand-alone and are instantly recognizable. A strong brand is invaluable as the battle for customers intensifies day by day. It’s important to spend time investing in researching, defining, and building your brand. After all, your brand is the source of a promise to your consumer. It’s a foundational piece in your marketing communication and one you do not want to be without.

If you need help with your branding, Happy is, of course, happy to help.

Social Media

All the tweets and posts in the world won’t help generate leads unless there’s some strategic thinking behind what you’re doing.

We’ll help define the right social media strategy for you, so that you’re on the right platforms, saying the right things to the right people at the right time to generate the right leads.

Design & Brand Building

Marketing is bit like those huge, swirling flocks of starlings you see from time to time. Individually your brochure, email, ad, meme or gif may not change the world.

But when you join them together and ensure they’re all heading in the same direction, you have the power to stop people in their tracks.

We design communications that help build a consistent brand and convert more leads to sales.

Websites

Your website can generate leads in so many ways. Informed content. Strong calls to action. A simple, natural journey from ‘Hi there!’ to ‘Buy now’.

Yet websites are never ‘done’. They need to keep evolving to keep pace with your customers’ expectations, so we’ll be with you for the long haul to keep tweaking, refining and growing your site – and to deliver the PPC campaigns that help drive traffic towards it.

Because when your website keeps working to understand and speak to your audience, you’ve got more chance of converting.

PR & Content
