Businesses in Sittingbourne often grow faster than their brand. A firm that started in one small unit now runs several, a science spin-out is talking to investors, or a family business has a new generation in charge. The name and logo that worked at the start no longer say what the company has become.
We help those businesses work out what they stand for and show it clearly. Branding works best around a table, so we run workshops at our Maidstone office or at your premises, just a short drive apart. Here’s what our branding work covers:
Branding should start with understanding, not sketching. We speak with you and, where useful, a few of your team or customers to find out what people already think of you and what you want them to think. For B2B firms that often means building credibility. For consumer businesses it’s about standing out locally. We then present strategy and design routes in person, explain the thinking behind each one and refine your preferred direction. Sessions can happen at our office or yours, and if a key person can’t make it, they can join by video call.
1. Research and conversations
Conversations with you and your team, in person where possible, plus a look at your market and competitors.
2. Strategy
A short document setting out your position, audience and personality.
3. Design routes
Two or three visual directions presented face to face, with the reasoning behind each.
4. Development
We refine the chosen route and test it on real applications such as signage and web pages.
5. Guidelines and rollout
We deliver the guidelines and files, then help apply the brand everywhere it needs to go.
We create brands for businesses across Kent and all over the UK, not just in Sittingbourne. Call us on 01622 470474 or get a free quote.
Branding in Sittingbourne: frequently asked questions
We've traded under our name for years. Should we change it?
Not necessarily. Often the name is an asset and the visual identity is what needs work. We'll give you an honest view during the strategy stage.
Where do branding workshops take place?
Usually at our Maidstone office or at your premises in Sittingbourne, whichever suits your team. People from other sites can join by video call if needed.
How do we roll out a new brand across a fleet of vans?
We plan the rollout in stages and supply artwork to your fitter, so vehicles can be updated as they're serviced or replaced.
We're a start-up at Kent Science Park. Is branding worth it this early?
A clear identity helps when you're talking to investors, partners and new hires. We can create a solid foundation now that grows with the company.
Will the new brand work on our website?
Yes. We design with digital use in mind and can rebuild your site to match through our web design service.
