Business & Corporate Branding Services
Is Your Corporate Brand Unique? Authentic? And Consistent?
Many people mistakenly equate a corporate brand with visual identification such as a logo. Beautiful design is all well and good, but where and how your ideal audience connects with you is far more important for every client. It’s also very different for every client. There is no one brand fits all solution.
Which is why reaching out to a professional corporate branding service to create an intentional and purposeful business identity for your particular company or nonprofit is crucial, regardless of business size.
Proper brand development looks at the company’s story, mission, vision, values, culture, products, and personality and works to create a unified corporate image and message used consistently throughout the organization. Logically planning projects can prevent ideas and costs from spiraling out of control. It removes the subjective “do we like blue?” and inserts the objective “What makes us better?” Analyzing how your ideal audience finds you, what your competition is like, and what makes you incredibly unique begins with one thing. A conversation. I am very, very curious, so I ask a lot questions first.
My Professional Corporate Branding Strategy Experience
My clients consistently see a 25-70% increase in audience growth when they embrace my branding strategies. I’ve been in branding and marketing for nearly three decades, and had a solo studio for almost two (formerly 224Design, now branded under my own name).
I’ve delivered award-winning and strategic branding services to a wide variety of businesses—start-ups, small-to-medium businesses and corporations, government agencies, non-profits, artists, and authors. With more more than two decades in advertising and brand design, this includes building digital and print marketing materials—from websites to billboards. I am also a skilled copywriter and author, having recently published a book on author branding as well as two works of fiction and a travel essay.
When I develop business branding, clients work directly with me and only pay for additional hands when they’re needed for specific tasks. My virtual team of freelancers has worked with me, in some cases for more than two dozen years. Work is built swiftly, seamlessly, and without the expensive overhead of the big agencies. Fewer dollars. Swifter results. And quite frankly more fun.
