Branding

Is a brand, a logo? We don’t think so… a logo can turn into a brand eventually, but we don’t believe it starts out as a brand. To us, a logo is the simple, clip-art design where you just need to represent your business or product through stationery, cards, merchandise, your website, etc.

A brand is more of a personality and requires more information to consider, such as who your audience is and what would attract them, who your competitors are and how to achieve longevity in the market. It is also in the way that it’s presented – your brand is the experience people have when they meet you or your business.

We will discuss colours, symbol ideas and taglines to create a brief. Concepts are created based on this brief. We can also go a step further and add research to the project – who is your ideal client and what would they be attracted to? Comparisons to competitors or leaders or perhaps even a focus group to discuss the concepts.

Brand Refresh: If you are considering a refresh of your brand, we can retain the value and strength. We can also delve deeper and find out how your current client base identify with it – after all, not everyone likes change and some hand-holding may be required to get everyone on board.

Brand Guidelines: Also known as Brand Bibles, are common when introducing a new look. We put together a document for print and electronic distribution that provides rules and guides when using the new brand.

Design

Show us what you have and tell us what you want. Then we will create something different or better. Sometimes there is an opportunity to be clever, it’s all about who you are trying to connect with and how they communicate.

We have over 25 years in the design and print industry and bring this experience when coming up with ways to better represent you and your company.

Print & Promo

We use printers and promotional product suppliers to create the ideas we come up with. Thinking about branding a pen? We consider how can it be done differently so that it gets more attention than all the other complementary pens. Got an event coming up? We consider your audience, the location and what you are wanting to achieve and brand the event and space suitably.

To discuss what you have now and where you want to go, please contact our marketing team or fill in the form for our promotion idea package.

Air Concepts – brochure and breath mints

Doc from Air Concepts came to us with a problem, how do we target our local community to get more servicing work for heat pumps?

We came up with a “spray and pray” campaign plan working with his team. They would go door knocking and drop off a brochure and a packet of mints, follow up with a phone call a couple of days later and book in a time to come and quote.

The mints were a giveaway so that the brand and reminder would stick with them. We likened the mints to the heat pumps with a story. Zoom in and have a read.

Sales Mastery Programme – digital brochure

Ambrose gave us a copy of his existing brochure and asked what we would do with it. We studied his programmes and converted the content into simple text and graphics.

“This is the best brochure we’ve ever done in 17 years!”

Originally a printed item, we’ve created a PDF brochure small enough in size to be emailed to anyone asking for information about the courses. It can be converted into a print file as well, but during the various lockdowns and with international clientele, we recommended this as the best publishing option.

AG Health & Wellness – gift vouchers

Adriana needed a voucher that could be printed at her home office. We took her existing logo, asked all the right questions, checked out her online presence and came up with a design that was approved straight away.

We made the voucher flexible – customers can choose the amount they want to spend, and we provided a file that had three on an A4 page that Adriana could print and manage herself.

We’ve enjoyed the working relationship so much with Adriana, we have gone on to design and develop conference brochures and a new website.

ACO – logo design and online ads

Steve from Barefit is an existing client, we’d helped him to recreate his logo so that he could use it for various applications. Now he was beginning a project with ACO and partnering with soccer player Jose Enrique.

We developed some logo options and the one you see is the one he ran with. We then developed some online international advertising for various demographics. We paid close attention to the call to actions and promoting their unique selling points as well as using smiling faces to create familiarity and comfort.

IronOak – logo design

Daniel came up with a clever name for his new insurance business. His surname Smithwood became IronOak. It needed to be strong and simple. We also worked with Daniel on his tagline. Insurance is something you need now to ensure you’re covered for when it happens.

Once a concept was chosen, we developed a basic brand guideline – a one page document that shows what the logo looks like on a black background, white background or when the logo can only be used in one colour. It also provides a breakdown of the colours used for printing and computer screens.

JC McCall – company branding

Clare and her team have been clients of ours for many years and whenthe time came to refresh the JC McCall branding, they had no hesitation in tasking it to us. As they are predominantly sub-contractors, we matured the brand and did away with the multi-colour retail look.

From brand development through to stationery, email signatures, website, location and vehicle signage and a new website, we worked to keep the brand looking polished. Whenever they need some more letterheads or business cards, we sort it out with one email.

Gilligan Sheppard – gardening kits for clients

When Gilligan Sheppard wanted to love on their clients, we came up with an idea that focussed on one of their values “growing together”. We sent them a box of gardening tools and some Thyme seeds.

The messaging was around growing each other through the difficult times. Collaborating to create ideas that no single person could arrive at on their own. That we were all in this together.

The seed packets had messaging around creating time and so the Dad joke humour came through. They received awesome responses from their clients and will now make this an annual happening.

LockSmart – logo design

Jono and Nicola needed a logo, and we were only too happy to help. We looked at who their competition was, the market they were trying to attract and came up with a retail looking brand.

By providing various file types, they have gone onto develop their own website, shop signage and vehicle wraps. The same blue and same red is used throughout because of the colour breakdowns we supplied – this makes for consistent branding which adds strength to it.

It can be difficult to know where to begin, so if you just want to talk through something, have a specific question but not sure who to address it to, fill in the form and we’ll get back to you within two working days.
