Brand Strategy Service
While most people think of the visual aspects of a brand when they think of the term “branding” or “brand strategy”, the truth is that the rabbit hole goes much deeper than that. Very much deeper.
Your brand is the entire experience your prospects and customers have with your company. It’s what you stand for, a promise you make, and the personality you convey. And while it includes your logo, your color palette, and your slogan, these are only creative elements that convey your brand. In reality, your brand lives in every day-to-day interaction you have with your market:
- The images you convey
- The messages you deliver on your website and in your sales materials
- The way your employees interact with customers
- A customer’s opinion of you versus your competition
At SpellBrand, we will help you articulate your brand – give it a voice, a personality, a mission, and a vision. Armed with a robust brand strategy, you will start to see your brand gaining mind-share and in turn market share and turning strangers into loyal fans and customers.
To create a robust brand strategy that will help your brand differentiate itself in the marketplace, we use the following methods and techniques:
-

SpellBrand team was so helpful and so amazingly easy to work with. They created designs for our company that made it hard to choose from as all designs were so great, although we had unlimited revisions we only used two and they were simple color changes. We loved the design and we really enjoyed working with this company and hope to work with them more on other projects we have. Thank you team for your hard work!!!!! Kari
