brand identity
Branding Process
A brand that commands attention has a personality that speaks to your customers. At Bid, we craft unique & compelling brand identity systems that evoke emotion, encourage connection, and lead to conversions. We work with our clients on all three aspects of a company’s identity: brand strategy, brand visual design, and brand voice. We have a multi-channel holistic approach to branding.
Our Brand Steps
The key to success is effective communication. We will guide you through the process, explain what you need, what you don’t need, and everything in between so whether you are a seasoned pro or new to the branding world. We are here to help.
1. research
First, we send a marketing questionnaire to help us get to know your company, competitors, and market segment. This information allows us to better understand the environment and target audience the brand would serve. Ultimately this will help us clearly and creatively define your company’s value proposition.
2. brainstorm
We explore several concepts to narrow down ideas. We create example moodboards to help showcase these ideas. The brainstorm phase is what translates brand values into practical solutions. It’s a critical step to exploring what makes your brand unique.
3. design
We narrow down ideas from the brainstorm phase to one core design. We create real world mockups to help illustrate the design and how it could be implemented across several marketing channels. Depending on your specifics it could be examples for website design, print ads or social media.
- Impactful– Ideas needs to make an impact. Your brand is a part of the world; what impact will it have on it.
- Emotional –You need to make emotional connections with your customers; more precisely, your customers need to make emotional connections with your brand.
- Actionable –Is your big idea something you can actually do something with? Can you market it? Can you convey it easily and convincingly?
4. Launch
Once the brand design is approved, we create elements based on that new Brand Identity System. We sort out what file formats and other iterations will be needed depending on your particular project parameters.
- Usually vector based High res jpegs, EPS, AI as well as pdf files are delivered.
We will create a Branding Style Guide (see below for information specifics)
- A brand style guide takes the heart and soul of your brand—your mission, vision and values—and translates it into design. It also tells everyone exactly how to communicate your brand.
Marketing add-ons
We offer a variety of creative service marketing & promotional add-ons. Some of our Branding Packages include these items or they can be added a la carte.
