BRAND DEVELOPMENT

A key to building strong brands is to develop and implement a brand identity. What are you doing, why and what makes your brand unique? a designful mind provides a deeper understanding of your brand’s reason for existence. I can help you identify or renew your values and strategic vision. I also help you define your brand’s tone of voice and support in creation of design guidelines.

    It is very costly to approach the market from several directions. It gives an unclear picture of what the brand stands for, and makes it harder to distinguish among competitors. Knowledge about your target audiences, and how they perceive your brand through its products, environments, communication and behaviour help you build a credible brand and earn a competitive position in the market place. a designful mind supports in developing and implementing a consistent brand message through all touch points key stakeholders encounter.

I also analyse the potential of your company’s current offerings and business situation.
