a Logo for Your Business

When you think of all of the things you need to create or update for a business, new or old, a logo may not be number one on the list of priorities. We believe it should be. While thinking of logos, take some time to think about the ones that really stand out to you. It may be the Nike Swoosh, the iconic McDonald’s Golden Arches, or the traditional Coca-Cola font logo that comes to your mind. Think about why that logo stands out to you.

The truth is, a logo means more to your business than just helping customers remember you.

The Importance of a Company "Voice"

Your company voice is a part of all of your content for your brand. Advertisements, social media posts, and your website all showcase your company voice. It is important to create a cohesive and consistent voice for your company that is specific to your company beliefs and interests. This requires clear goals, personality, and teamwork to create a consistent voice. Your company voice is an element of your brand as a whole and creates a personal connection between your company and your clients. According to Segment’s 2017 State of Personalisation Report, just 22% of shoppers are satisfied with the level of personalisation they currently receive. This means many brands are failing to represent themselves in a way that actually inspires consumers to become loyal customers. By creating a voice that represents your company, you can create a loyal connection with your customers. Here are a few tips on how to create and use your company voice.

Pretty crazy to think about, right? We live in a world of production, and with production, there has to be design.
