Brand Design and Strategy
Your custom built roadmap to having a recognised brand that stands out
Your custom built roadmap to having a recognised brand that stands out
For a long time, branding was a fluffy-pink-marshmallow kinda concept. Reserved for businesses with boardrooms. But, this is 2022 and coffee shops are our boardroom.
Small businesses, need branding. Investing in a sh*t hot brand before getting their social media channels and website sorted, is key to building a unique brand customers want more of.
I might not know you yet, but I know what you want.
You want to stand out and stand up for what you believe in. You're passionate! You want authenticity, and for people to love your services and products. You want a brand that customers find irresistible.
"But, hang on Marty!! You're like a freaking mindreader, how did you know all that?"
I wanted all that. I did the social media workshops and marketing masterclasses. I spoke to the gurus. I ran ads that attracted more sandflies than sales. After all that, my brand was still unknown, confused and lacking direction.
A boy named Martin neglected his brand.
Ok, I didn't say it was a good story. I had no idea who my ideal customer was, how they felt and when I created content, I just hoped for the best.
So, how did I create a brand and build an experience that people wanted to connect with?
First, I doubled down on my strategy – and create a framework that helped other brand's stand out.
I tested the strategy on new brand's I attracted and their results matched mine — better comms, more energy, conversations and ultimately sales.
Let's chat – come tell me all about you, your business, your vision and goals. I can then answer any questions you have about branding or rebranding your business.
Come and book a quick 20-minute slot to see if you're interested in working with me.
My goal is to take your vision from an idea to a well-loved brand, making thoughtful, considered choices on the way.

ABOUT LOGO & VISUAL DESIGN
Your brand is unique — so's my strategy framework. Together we might look at:
What do your want customers to feel? How are you currently communicating? What's your why? Your unique selling proposition (USP). We'll uncover customer misconceptions and work out what they really want. And... set brand goals.
How to build a solid reputation and analyse brands that got it all wrong. We'll work out your brand values, vision and mission statements and start crafting an emotive brand story that customers connect with.
We'll define who your ideal customers are, who you don't want to attract, why customers should love your brand and create customer personas to help you speak to your people.
We'll analyse your competition so you are one step ahead, and innovating so you stand out.
We'll map out your brands customer experience in detail. Looking at the culture you want to build in your brand. How customers start their journey, end their journey and how to turn them into mega fans.
Time to humanise your brand and speak to your customer personas. We'll throw imaginary parties so we can see how your brand interacts with people, develop CTA's and make a list of banned words and phrases.
Naming a brand is hard work. It can take days, weeks or months. If you haven't already got your a name, we'll create it together and check that it's legally viable.
We'll start piecing together the aesthetics you want to see and begin tying the visual and strategic brand together. This leads perfectly into designing your brand's visuals.
