Branding

In the Artstud

A blank piece of paper and a pencil is a pretty good place to begin. We take notes and we jot down ideas – a blank piece of paper is a fresh start and can take us in any direction we want.

Aside from being pretty darn talented with the pencil, the biggest single factor in how we start a project is really simple. We listen. Every new client relationship starts with a conversation, ideally with a cuppa.

Above all we’re ‘people people’. We’re at our best when we get to know our clients and their businesses over a period of time – we’re not in it to make a quick buck and then disappear, we aim to develop long term relationships that develop and prosper for all those involved. The work that we provide benefits dramatically for this very reason.

Branding

By now we’re guessing that everyone knows branding is not just your logo. There’s plenty of people out there who will tell you that your brand is all the different ways that you represent yourself. Yes, this can often be through a logo but the most successful brands know exactly who they are and what their customers want from them.

When we first get involved in a branding project we don’t profess to know the ins and outs of a business – but we’re great listeners and fast learners. We’re not trying to be best friends with our clients but being able to have a relaxed conversation is the fastest way to get to the heart of a project. It allows us to ask questions that may not come up otherwise, gauge the reaction of our answers but, most importantly, get to know who we’re going to be working with. And that’s when the magic starts.

Development

Making sure that you have an online presence is of huge importance in today’s market. Given our background in design we ensure that you get a well built and high performing website – but also one that has a great amount of thought put into the way it looks and how users will interact with it. In terms of what we create, we’re comfortable working using open source platforms or developing something completely bespoke. This is often dependent on client requirements and budget – but all of these details are discussed at the start of the project to ensure that everybody is on the same page.

Currently we work with many brands working in different markets, from luxurious skincare companies to IT startups. Helping our costumers to rebrand their creations or start them from scratch.
