Design, Innovate & Transform

If you’re wondering what is digital marketing, or how it can help your small business or organisation, this page is for you! Here’s an introduction to what you should know about digital marketing and a few samples of my work.

HAVE A PROJECT?

Considering all of these elements is one way to approach a holistic marketing strategy :

PRODUCT

What is it? What does it do?
How does it help people?
Why would someone choose it over other options?

PRICE

How much do you want them to pay for your product or service? How will they pay you?
How much is it going to cost you to make and deliver it?

PLACE

Where do people buy your product or service? Where can people learn more about it if they’re interested? Are there any places where your target audience hangs out that you could try to get featured in or mentioned on?

PEOPLE

Who is responsible for getting things done within an organisation? There must be one person who can make decisions on behalf of all employees, but don’t forget that each employee has a role too!

PROMOTION

How will people find out about your product or service? You need an effective promotional strategy that reaches them at every stage of their buying journey so they’re more likely to purchase from you instead of another company offering similar goods or services (and there are many). And finally…

PROCESS

How do people get things done within an organisation? There should be processes in place so everyone knows exactly what their job entails and how best to perform it.

Tips on re-creating yourself:

So today we’re talking about how to re-brand a logo in 6 easy steps!

First, make sure you know your brand’s personality. Who are you? What do you want your audience to feel? How can you translate that into imagery?

Second, do your homework. What other brands out there are doing similar things to you? And what are they like visually? If their brand is serious and yours is playful, how can you stand out?

Third, start sketching. Do as many rough drafts as needed until it feels right. You’ll know when it does.

Fourth, create one or more digital versions of your chosen logo. Pick a few options and see which works best in different situations: on social media, on a business card, on the side of an airplane… try them in all the places where they might be used!

Fifth, go over your chosen logo with a fine-tooth comb. Does every line serve a purpose? Where can it be simplified to make it clear, and crisp?

Sixth, ask around! Show your logo to friends and colleagues and see what they think of it. How does it make them feel? Does it represent the brand well in their eyes? Is there anything they would change or add.
