Business Branding

Your business needs to stand out and customers need to easily remember you. This is where business brand becomes vital.

A business brand can be seen as a representation of the business owner. Call it - a reflection of the owner’s values.

A brand is a gut instinct or intuition or an immediate feeling people have about a company product or service. It is what others think about your business.

Business Branding can be seen in a:

Website
Logo
Business Cards
Social Media
Apparel
Vehicle Signage

For customers to remember who you are its needs to be displayed consistent and repetitively.

A brand positions a business among its competitors. For smaller businesses, if done correctly, great branding can create an even playing field when competing with larger established organisations.

Arguably, all else being equal, if your brand is professional you could charge for your products and services in accordance with how good your brand looks. (Did we say - all else being equal)

If you want customers to engage with your business and keep them coming back, we can help!

We do Branding good. Real good!

Starting with logo design by selecting illustrations, fonts, photos, colours our graphic designer can create something unique to your business. We even give you unlimited design revisions until its right.

Hi neighbours.
Police say they have exhausted all leads for finding Eloi Rolland, 18, who has been missing from Auckland for almost four months.
The teen, who has limited English, has not been seen since he was captured on CCTV at the Britomart train station on March 7, where he caught a train to New Lynn's Fruitvale Rd station. It's understood he was in the vicinity of Piha Rd and Scenic Drive at 9.18am, but this is where the trail ends.
After more than 1600 hours searching for Rolland, police ended the physical search in May, pending reports of new information or evidence.
Rolland's sister, Aurore Rolland, told Stuff the family were "really sad" the search had been suspended.
"We [are at] the point where we are waiting for a miracle. We believe [he] is not dead in the sea at Piha Beach. Things need to be done, even if we have to search during our entire life."
