Strategic brand identity agency, creating brands that resonate with your audience. As an agency, we collaborate with you to create immersive brand identities
Brand identity is what people see, hear and feel every time they come into contact with your business, your visuals, your tone, your presence online and off. It’s one of the biggest factors in how successful a business becomes, because it’s what sticks in a customer’s mind and drives them through your marketing funnel.
We walk you through every step, so nothing feels like guesswork. Building a brand identity isn’t a single step, it’s a process, and as a creative agency, we love meeting new businesses and building identities that stand the test of time. Because your brand identity is your personality, it needs to be built properly, and built to last.
The first step with any brand identity project is the initial meeting between the Create8 team and the potential client. To build a brand strategy and identity, we need to fully understand what the brand means to you and how we are able to champion that across all your branding.
Once all the parties involved have discussed the brand identity project. We put together a full proposal including the creative work that will be done and the cost for each area.
Once the proposal is agreed, the fun begins! The creative process is where we shine, as we bring all of our expertise to the table to build a brand identity that you will be proud of, and people will relate to. All of our work is fully bespoke and collaborative with your team. Collaboration is important to produce the best outcome for your project and to truly integrate your personality into your brand identity.
After the creative process, we pass our work back over to you. You are then given the opportunity to review what we have produced and offer your ideas for refining the brand identity project. We want every piece of your strategy to be fully implemented, from the communication of your social platforms to the way your brand looks in a shop window.
Once the brand identity project is signed off, we will send all your deliverables over to you. Your logo, branding and/or website will be in your capable hands. Delivery methods vary from project to project, depending on the package you choose.
If you selected a brand identity project that includes further management, then we will continue to manage and maintain wherever relevant.
Growing your business is paramount! As an agency, we are incredibly hands-on with the jobs we produce and your success is important to us.
