Corporate Branding

Logos and branding: for every level you get the support of a client advisor with extensive creative marketing expertise.

Option 1 This package is ideal for fledgling entrepreneurs and start up businesses with limited budgets. It also suits established and small to medium businesses who want a basic freshening up of existing branding or a non-profit organisation needing a professional image at an economy price. Including application of logo to stationery and set for print. Option 2 This level gives more scope for change and experimentation with the design, often helpful when there are more than one or two people making the decision. This is ideally suited to those with a well developed marketing plan but will also work for those in need of a more effective, harder working identity.

Option 3 A comprehensive and exhaustive design package that will benefit companies and organisations with very involved communication requirements and audiences. This level might be best for a product or service launch into a highly competitive market, international or multi-division branding or a major organisation witha complex decision making process.
