With 2018 right around the corner, everyone is talking about goals. Whether you’re developing budgets and objectives for your company’s upcoming year or setting more individual, professional goals, it’s vital to head into 2018 with a clear vision of what you’d like to accomplish.
But what if your current brand or visual identity doesn’t match your new goals? Maybe your company is expanding to provide new services or you’re finally ready to tackle those entrepreneurial dreams. As your company and business ventures grow and expand, it’s important that your brand grows too. The decision to rebrand can be scary, but we’re here to help!
Our creative team loves when they get the opportunity to help our clients rebrand. Our clients are so enthusiastic about their new business ventures, and we’re always thrilled to share in that enthusiasm and be a part of the process.
Recently, our friends The Luster Group, a multi-discipline, commercial construction and consulting firm, decided it was time to rebrand their company to better represent their what they do.
Here’s our approach to rebranding (along with some great concepting and visuals):
Get inside your head
Initially, we like to sit down with our clients and put ourselves into their shoes. What are your reasons for rebranding? What message are you trying to portray? How do you want to appear to your clients? We may even ask some off the wall questions like “If your company were an animal, which animal would it be and why?” This method may seem silly, but a comprehensive (and sometimes unique) understanding of our clients’ work to produce the best results.
Research, Research, Research
After we’ve gotten to know you, we must find out information about your clients. Our team spends time not only picking our clients’ brains, but the brains of the people who consume their products. Understanding what customers want to hear and see helps our creative team develop a brand identity. Additionally, we research your competitors. We want to make sure your keeping up with industry standards while making your brand stand out in the crowd.
Creativity is Key
After we’ve done all the digging and understand our client’s needs, we’re ready to start drafting. Our creatives go to work to create a brand identity that matches your vision. It’s truly amazing to watch thoughts and ideas become tangible concepts.
Revise and Finalize
We love client feedback and dedicate time to revising original concepts and ideas until we’ve got the perfect final product. Keeping our client’s goals at the forefront of all our work ensures satisfactory results and a brand that truly represents who you are.
