We all know that first impressions are important. You wouldn’t present your self in an unprofessional way at a job interview so why wouldn’t you do the same for your business. It only takes 5 seconds or less for you to make an impression on someone. That’s not very much time to convey your business’s message.

Branding is your businesses’ impression on people. It’s how people conceive and think about your brand. If you have a business you have a brand, whether you like it or not. It’s best to embrace this and use it your advantage to connect your brand with your target audience. So how do we do that?

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text color=”#e7e3e4″]

Every time someone sees your brand, whether it’s your logo, an Instagram post, or a business card, you are communicating what your brand stands for and embraces to the person perceiving your brand. Each time they see your brand you are communicating your brand’s personality and the really cool part of it is that you have control over how you present your brand and portray your brand’s personality.

Your brand’s personality is portrayed through the colors, fonts, graphics, photography, and even the way that you talk.  It’s important to portray your brand consistently.

I will map out your homework due dates in order for me to start the project on time, let you know when I have completed project milestones, and when to give feedback on the project’s progress.

While Asana will now be our main point of contact I am always available via email. You can expect to hear back from me within 24 business hours.

I’m going to assign you to some fun and exciting homework with some hard questions.

I’ll ask you to gather visual inspiration for the direction of your new brand into a shared private Pinterest board. You will fill this with typography, colors, and images that are in line with the feel of your brand. Make sure to read my article on how to effectively find and pin inspiration.

I will do research of your competitive market and begin building an in-depth brand strategy. We will discover your message, style, ideal client, and how we will speak directly to them through design.
