Branding
Our Approach to Branding
A brand is the way businesses most often communicate with their audience. Across every asset, every piece of marketing, and every advertisement, the one constant is branding. We give the brands we create the attention they deserve, whether we’re naming a company, rebranding a business, or branding a product. Beginning with in-depth research, Evangalist creates comprehensive identities that serve brands for years.
Brand DNA
You can’t just jump right into a name or a logo. A great brand is true to the organization it represents and means something to the target audience. To ensure each brand we create meets those criteria, we start by analyzing our client’s culture, their products & services, and their best customers.
Armed with this research, we build a detailed brand analysis which includes brand archetyping & target persona building. This information informs our creative work, as well our clients’ mission & vision statements and core values.
Company & Product Naming
One of the most challenging decisions new businesses face is what to call themselves. It’s a decision with a great deal of gravity; when all else is stripped away, the brand name is all you’re left with. In search results listings, on a list of vendors, or when said aloud, that’s all your potential target may be given. With that in mind, we take naming very seriously.
After our Storyboarding sessions, we begin the naming process. Sometimes this results in presenting 10 options with in-depth rationale, other times we end up with 100 possibilities that run a gamut of concepts. No matter what, the result is the same: a name that can stand on its own.
Brand Identity Systems
Brand Standards
No matter what we do for a client, we make sure that they always hold the keys. Once we’ve developed a brand, we provide a thorough brand standards guide that helps our client use their brand properly without our oversight.
From correct spacing to color codes to social media guidelines, our brand standards guides cover all relevant details. More than that, they are also thoughtfully produced and visually impressive, with many clients using them to train new hires or pitch new investors.
