Some of the newest businesses in Medway are being founded in Chatham, from graduate start-ups near the Universities at Medway campus to firms moving into Chatham Maritime’s offices. At the same time, many long-standing Chatham companies built their brands decades ago and now look out of step with the town around them. Both groups face the same question: how do we look and sound credible to the customers we want next?
Our branding work answers that question with strategy first and design second. It includes:
Brand work depends on good conversations, and they work best around a table. We begin with a questionnaire and a discovery session with you and any key colleagues, at your Chatham premises or at our Maidstone office, a short drive over Blue Bell Hill. A video call is an option if it’s easier. We present strategy in person so everyone can ask questions, and design concepts follow in the same way, with time for your team to reflect afterwards. You then receive final assets and guidelines that anyone in your business can use.
1. Questionnaire and call
We learn about your business, ambitions, customers and competitors.
2. Positioning
We define where your brand should sit and how it should sound.
3. Creative routes
We present distinct design directions in person, with the rationale for each.
4. Development
We build out the chosen direction into a complete, flexible identity.
5. Launch kit
You receive guidelines, master files and a rollout plan for every touchpoint.
We create brands for Chatham businesses as well as companies throughout Kent and across the UK. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
