Develop A Unique Brand Identity For Your Business

A Hard Working Americans 2017 All Access pass: We’re All In This Together

A thought leadership strategy gathers your company’s best thinking and puts it to work: building brand equity, creating demand, deepening customer relationships and opening new sales and partnership opportunities.

We start with research. We audit how your brand performs and how your competitors position themselves, looking at your perceived promise, personality, value and history. A full SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) shapes a custom strategy that keeps your marketing consistent.

That research also sets a benchmark, so you can measure gains in conversions and customer loyalty as the new strategy rolls out.

From there we write a long-term brand strategy that defines your promise, personality and position, fixes the weak spots and builds on the strengths. It becomes part of your overall marketing plan, so brand goals and marketing goals move together.

Then we write the guidelines for showing your brand across the full funnel, so every interaction with customers and prospects feels like the same company. The results:

  1. Wider recognition of your brand and what it does well
  2. A brand that stands apart as a leader in its market
  3. More conversions, as prospects recognize your products and approach and think well of them

Build a brand that sells

What you get

Brand identity, delivered

  1. Strategy first

    Positioning, promise, personality and the audiences the brand has to win, written down before any design starts. Most companies start with the marketing plan and brand strategy.

  2. Logo and visual system

    The logo and its lockups, colour, type, graphic devices and photography direction, designed as one system that works on a website, a deck and a trade-show wall.

  3. Brand guidelines and files

    A guidelines document and every file in every format, so your team and your vendors use the brand the same way.

  4. Rollout

    We apply it: website, social profiles, email templates and sales materials, so the new identity is live, not sitting in a folder.

200+ projects shipped for founders, bands and brands since 2014.

Brand questions

Brand identity is $4,750. Most companies start with the marketing plan and brand strategy, $6,250 over 45 days, so the identity work starts with answers. Every price is on our Pricing page.

Yes. Most companies start with the marketing plan and brand strategy, $6,250 over 45 days. You keep the plan whether or not we run it.

Yes, as part of brand identity, $4,750, which includes the logo, the visual system and the files. We do not sell a logo without the system around it, because a logo alone does not hold up across a website, ads and sales decks.

Let’s talk about better results.
