Your core message is the main piece of information you want people to know about your company – what you do, why you do it and what you believe in. It’s important because it identifies what you stand for, how you are different from your competitors and why your audience should care. It also forms the basis for all marketing communications, so you need to be clear from the start about what you’re saying. Learn More About Core Messaging
Creating a custom logo that’s unique captures the spirit and culture of your business and sets the tone for your company. It’s a principal branding element that represents the identity and personality of your company. A logo becomes synonymous with your identity, and the marketplace uses it to indicate the value of your products and services.
Companies that have been around for a while often find their audiences, positioning and market share has changed over time. Mergers and expansions alter your identity, you rethink your business model or your look is simply out of style. Even if you had a strong brand to begin with, a rebranding or brand refresh is often a good opportunity to successfully update and reposition the business. With well-established and proven processes, you can rejuvenate your image, your staff and your sales results. Learn More About Rebranding
