Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can branding help my business?

    A solid brand strategy and design is a creative shortcut that communicates superiority to the customer. You need to brand so that you can differentiate your product or service among competitors and become the ultimate choice. Branding will result in more profit, competitive strength and brand awareness. Branding also allows you to know who and what the brand stands for. Without doing the brand strategy work you may not know much about your brand voice, brand tone or even what makes you different.

  • How do you create a brand?

    There are many steps to creating a brand. First, you must learn to differentiate your brand and then communicate this difference in a compelling way to your audience. To do this we first create the Unique Selling Proposition (USP), the brand story, the mission, and values of the brand. The brand strategy must lead the brand design, copywriting, imagery, logo design, website, and more to create concise and consistent messaging that the audience resonates with.

  • How long does it take to build a brand?

    Branding is a constant process and is never truly done, you will always be building the brand through everything you put out to the public. This may be new ad campaigns, new blog posts, Instagram posts, etc.. Your branding is never truly done. The initial brand strategy and design to launch a brand are typically 3-6 months. After those months you are always continuing the brand strategy in new ways and building off of what you've created.

  • How much does branding cost?

    It really depends on the strategy you take. Many agencies will charge well over $25,000+ for a brand strategy and brand design package. You can always pay less if you are trying to tackle some of the strategies on your own. You may even hire a freelancer to help you fill in the gaps! Of course, it all depends on your budget and your goals.

  • How do you create a brand identity?

    After you have all of the pieces of your brand strategy, you can start to move onto creating the brand identity design. Remember it is SO important to understand the Unique Selling Proposition (USP), Target Audience, Brand Story, Values and Mission of the brand before you even touch the brand identity design. To bridge the gap between the two use Tone Words. Choose five Tone Words that reflect your brand strategy to come to life.

  • What is the first step to the branding process?

    Research is the first step to creating a strong brand. Research your competitors and the target audience you are after. Be sure that you have a market for people that want and need what you are offering. After you have done the preliminary research, you can then move on to creating the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is. Your USP will guide all of your decisions moving forward and will be very valuable for displaying your superiority over competitors.
