When you think about strategic branding, you’ve got to think big picture, find your story and know how to tell it.
We collaborate with successful Australian and global businesses to create alignment in the way visual and verbal elements contribute to market perception. From new business names, logos, strap lines, corporate messaging and imagery, we know how to bring it all together to create a brand that’s memorable and trustworthy. Combine this with the new verbal identity – your new tag line, a redefined 90 second pitch, and your key messages – and you will capture your market more easily than you thought.
A brand is more than a logo – it’s the collective impact of a number of visual elements that come together to create an impression of all that you stand for. These visual elements include your brand icon, typography, colour palette and ‘hero’ imagery. In addition to the visual elements, your brand is also your messaging – the way you describe ‘who you are’ and ‘what you have to offer’.
Bring these elements together in the right combination and you have a compelling brand strategy poised to outshine your competitors.
The team at Gilligan Group is skilled in assessing brand performance against existing credentials. Maybe you are already operating a successful and long-term business, but you’ve outgrown your existing corporate messaging or visual identity. Maybe you are a new entrant, keen to launch into the market with a polished and professional image befitting of your product or service offering.
