The Importance of Branding
From startups to corporations, branding elevates your company and allows you to stand out from the crowd. At 88 West, we transform brands through strategy, visual identity, and physical and online presence. Our talented team of strategists, designers, and writers are dedicated to equipping our clients with all the tools necessary for success in today’s business landscape.
Branding is defined as “the identity and story of a company that makes it stand out from competitors that sell similar products or services.” The goal in developing a brand should be to ensure that your target audience will have your brand top of mind when doing business. Especially in crowded markets like healthcare, construction, or real estate, differentiation is the key to success. To ensure a unique, standout brand, the 88 West teams offers expertise in three essential areas:
- Brand Language: You’ve got a message, you just have to figure out how to present it. At 88 West, we can help develop your brand name and tagline, your company’s voice and tone, and the best way to tell your brand story.
- Identity Design: Our graphic designers develop a full brand identity for your business. This includes a versatile set of logos, a dynamic color palette, and everything you need to market your brand in a variety of mediums.
- Brand Activation: Your website, social media, and physical marketing items are essential to getting your brand in the minds of consumers. We design each of these intentionally to earn you the best results with consistency across all brand touchpoints.
