Ahmedabad Brand strategy

It all starts with a strategy that sets a specific course of action. Without it, corporate image decisions are just a guess. Information gathering is the start of the process. Using the project brief, we get to know your view of the company, we reach your clients with surveys, and thanks to desk research we recognize competitors and trends on the market.

We translate the collected data into solutions. We precisely describe the target group and choose the most important values ​​for the company. The result of our activities is the selection of an archetype, i.e. the foundation for the entire brand. Only now can we prepare the history of the brand (BIG IDEA), which will inspire and define subsequent actions.

• we do user research

• we conduct a brand audit

• we help to prepare the brand architecture

• we create names and slogans

• when designing, we use various tools, including the archetype circle

We deal with comprehensive design of visual identities. When creating, we always stick to the established assumptions, because the best projects are not only beautiful but also wise. Logo design is the beginning of our work on the visual language of the company. Taking care of consistency, we prepare a Brand Book, which is an interpretation of the correct use of the logotype.

A business card, letterhead, envelope or briefcase are the basic job materials that constitute the next stage in the creation process. An interesting addition can be a stamp or CD design. The visual identification developed in this way is the foundation for the preparation of advertising materials. Only a properly implemented (printed) project achieves its assumptions, therefore author’s supervision is necessary.

• we design a logo, and a brand book for it, which shows how to use it

• we create a visual key, where we show the graphic character of the brand with the help of job materials

• We carefully select the color, typography and the type and method of using printing media (type of paper, finishing, etc.)

Sales support

Sales support is all activities related to advertising. In them, we focus on showing the main advantages and values ​​of products and services designed by us. The design of promotional materials is based entirely on the previously developed visual identification of the company. Depending on the needs, we prepare a leaflet or a fold-out brochure for the basic presentation of the service.

For special events, we offer the design of the entire sales stand and support in the implementation process. Advertising in public space includes such projects as: banner, roll-up or car wrapping. A necessary addition to promotional activities may be the preparation of advertising gadgets such as pens, notebooks or more non-standard materials.
