Why branding?

Because you want people to act. To buy, donate, show up, make a change, or press the button marked “You.” We believe design leads to emotion, which leads to action. If your brand isn’t inspiring action, you might need a branding tweak or a complete overhaul.

Something’s new 

Maybe you’re a startup. Or your organization has a new name, focus, or offering. A new brand sends up a flare to alert the world and intrigue them to see what’s new.

Change is happening

Change is a great time to update or refresh your brand. An evolution in your leadership, marketplace, demographics, or audience expectations deserves clarity and attention.

You’re growing (or want to)

Adding new locations? Expanding your offerings? Completing a merger or acquisition? Now’s the perfect time to consider your brand strategy to align stakeholders and alert audiences.

It’s no longer working

We’ve all been there, making excuses for a worn-out brand that no longer works. Whether it’s dated or simply not emotionally connecting, your brand may benefit from renewal.

A big event is coming

Your organization is about to have a big moment—a tradeshow or conference—where it needs to send a specific message. A campaign or event brand can build energy and create the right experience and outcomes you need.

You need to attract & retain

Your employees are your ambassadors. When they’re excited, it shows. A well-conceived brand can unify your team, help you retain your best, and recruit new talent.
