The Process of Creating a Brand Identity: From Discovery to Delivery
Step 1: Discovery—Uncovering Your Brand’s Essence
The journey begins with understanding you. A strong brand identity isn’t created in a vacuum; it’s rooted in your business’s mission, vision, and values.
Key Activities:
Questionnaires and Interviews: I ask insightful questions to learn about your brand's purpose, target audience, and competitors.
Exploring Goals: What do you want your brand to achieve? Whether it’s capturing a specific market or evoking an emotion, this stage sets the foundation.
Identifying Personality: Is your brand playful, bold, luxurious, or approachable? Together, we define your tone and voice.
Why This Matters:
Discovery ensures the designs aren’t just visually appealing but are aligned with your brand’s message and audience expectations.
