It will make a HUGE difference to the work you deliver. And it doesn’t have to take long.

In this class, we’re going to walk you through a streamlined brand strategy process; you can adapt it as needed, but I’ll be showing you the kind of scope and scale best suited to freelance designers or small studios.

What will we cover in the class?

• We’ll look at the discovery and audits necessary to ‘get us up to speed’, and provide some context to the strategy.


• Who is the brand for? Ironically, it’s rarely ever your client. So we need to clearly identify the target audience.


• Even at this stage the intended look and feel of the brand, it’s style and tone can be planned out in principle.


• You’ll be shown how to create a clear hierarchy of brand messages, each supporting the other.


• And importantly, we’ll consider the intended positioning of the brand, and help the client identify the implications and expectations this positioning will create.

By the time we’ve finished, you, and the CLIENT, will know exactly what you now need to create, what purpose it needs to fill. That’s a valuable, and refreshing difference from attempting to ‘come up with something the client will LIKE’ based solely on their personal taste.
