Branding Process

Research & Discovery

Uncover opportunities and insights through research so your startup can compete effectively and grow with clarity.
Market Research
We conduct thorough market research to uncover brand opportunities, threats and trends. Key insights help us align on how your brand will succeed in what is often a competitive market.
Competitor Analysis
We benchmark competitors and assess branding strategies to help your startup tap into market opportunities. This clarifies differentiation and positions your business for sustainable long-term success.
Customer Interviews
While not always necessary, we like to interview your target audience firsthand. These sessions uncover customer needs, motivations and perceptions that shape design and messaging while also ensuring we have an unbiased view of brand opportunities. 
Stakeholder Interviews
In addition to workshops, we like to interview founders, team leads and wider business stakeholders. The goal is to uncover the unique perspectives that help shape your unique business and ensure your brand strategy reflects both business goals and customer needs.

Brand Strategy

Defining the strategic foundations including positioning, messaging and audience clarity that guide every brand decision.
Brand Positioning
We help you establish a clear brand positioning in the market, one that stands out from the competition. Your brand positioning highlights differentiation, communicates your value proposition and shows potential customers why your brand matters.
Audience Profiles
We build key audience profiles, not marketing personas, that capture behaviours and customer needs. These profiles guide messaging, design and engagement across digital channels and brand touchpoints.
Messaging Framework
We help you develop a structured brand messaging framework that unifies ongoing communication across all brand touchpoints. Each element is aligned to your tone of voice, core values and positioning.
Brand Naming
Where necessary, we support early-stage startups with brand naming. This process involves exploring creative brand naming territories and testing options in various formats. Our goal is to ensure the final brand name you land on is distinctive, memorable and scalable - no one wants to rename their venture more than once!

Brand Identity

Translating strategy into a creative identity that builds the visual and verbal systems representing your brand.
Visual Territories
Before creating visual identity concepts, we explore creative visual territories to test and align on mood, tone and style. These are a moodboard style collage that communicate potential directions and help us align on the look and feel your new visual identity should take.
Brand Concepts
We like to present early brand concepts that align to a chosen visual territory before finessing a chosen concept. These brand concepts combine storytelling and graphic design, giving a flavour for how your brand could show up in the world and be experienced.
Visual Identity
We craft a distinctive logo design, select brand-led typography and craft color palette systems. Together, these elements create a consistent brand identity aligned with your brand strategy.
Brand Guidelines
To wrap up the brand identity phase we create a comprehensive brand guideline and style guide. These resources cover key roles around how to utilise your new logo, fonts, imagery and tone, ensuring consistency across all brand and marketing applications.

Marketing Collateral

Extending your brand into practical applications that strengthen recognition and drive growth across all channels.
Marketing Websites
Off the back of a successful branding project we help you bring your identity to life with a compelling website design. The result is a website that clearly communicates value, builds trust and delivers strong user experience; one that converts visitors into paying customers.
Pitch Decks
We help many of our clients design compelling pitch decks and presentation templates that tell your brand story. These tools engage investors, support fundraising efforts and showcase your credibility.
Merchandise
Once you have a beautiful brand, what’s better than creating some epic merchandise for both internal team members and external stakeholders. With the right brand, staff will wear your merch proudly, while you’ll stand out at industry events, amplifying your brand recognition.
Marketing Materials
Where necessary, we will also support our clients with other marketing materials, from email signatures and business cards to event signage. This helps to ensure consistency across every brand touchpoint.
