Creating A Cohesive Brand Design

Creating a cohesive design for your brand can be a great way for your audience to identify your business quickly no matter what platform they find you on.

Let’s back up 3 paces and just add in a reminder that while we’re talking about brand design today, you want to start developing your brand with a strategy first. It’s strategy that informs design.

IMAGINE THIS: You walk into a room filled with entrepreneurs who offer something similar to you. When someone asks what you do, you not only know exactly what to say, but you say it in a way that’s clear, concise and sets you apart from everyone else.

How To Create Brand Messaging That Resonates

There are many elements that go into creating powerful brand messaging. Today I wanted to focus on one in particular: your brand benefits.
