Corporate branding pursues many avenues
Whether you already have a business identity in place or not, we consider brand in every design. Corporate branding is more than your logo. It is more than the visual object that represents your establishment or company...
It is every visual element, product, service, and phrase that reaches your customer. Every contact point of your business should communicate an integrated personality. It defines how you present yourself. When a new product and service is added to your range, it defines how it is presented to the world.
In reality, corporate branding development may follow an 'upside-down' order
All this sounds great, but we know that for a businessman things does not necessarily 'evolve' in the perfect sequence of how it is supposed to develop. You might have a logo but nothing else. You might have a good product but not a well-developed brand. We have come across firms that have been up and running for many years, yet their website constitute nothing more than just a bunch of items and their showrooms make no statement...
As a result, clients struggle to link them to a brand. Usually in such cases, once we bring in branded depictions of their products on their website and social media alone, not even in their showrooms, the brand starts to develop. People rediscover their product and start linking it to the brand, that has now gained some IMPACT and STRENGTH. Depending on the industry, branding coupled with a well-researched website 'construction' that acts as a facilitator and amplifies its message over social media, are in many cases enough to generate a considerable increase in conversions.
Your brand may need a push in the right direction, and the exertion of SWORD's multimedia design capabilities to bring forth solutions in your marketing and system.
The point is 'we work with what you have' and always develop towards a CONSISTENT IDENTITY. Our experience has helped to develop a kind of recipe for corporate branding, that starts like this:
