Branding Services

We exist for you. As a full-service creative branding company, we offer a range of services to take your brand from basic to brilliant. Some of the branding services we offer our clients include:

Stop guessing. Start strategising. Many growing businesses neglect to put a brand strategy in place. They get caught up in finances and management and forget about creative brand work.

Branding is more than your image. It’s a key feature in developing a successful business model. Branding provides structure. Once your brand is established, the rest of the business operations reflect the brand and its principles. Some of the world’s biggest companies have survived challenges on the strength of their brand alone. A strong brand builds trust. It keeps you at the top of customers’ minds. It shows potential customers that you’re worth their time.

Brilliant brands aren’t built overnight. They require investment, patience and a robust brand strategy. Our branding brains can work with your company to help develop a unique brand that will position you as a market leader and give you a competitive edge. We’ll review your current brand, analyse your market position and check out your competitors. We’ll investigate who your customers are, understand what they need and give your brand a sparkling new personality. Together, we can make you shine.

Our Branding Process

We don’t rush, and we certainly don’t guess.

At fastfwd, we use tried and tested techniques that work.

Distillation

It’s not going back to basics. Distillation means building the foundations of what you stand for. This might involve workshops, a statement of mission and writing up new “brand pillars”. One small concept can create countless big results.

It’s time to bring your brand to life. This might include brand story development, rolling out your brand across communications and designing digital and print media like websites and brochures. Your brand is a narrative. We want you to tell the best possible story.

Branding and Digital Marketing

Branding is about communication. The best businesses combine visuals and communication to get the word out. A brand aiming for balance creates an exciting challenge.

We like a challenge. As a full-service brand development agency, our in-house team of digital marketing experts range from SEO specialists to PPC experts.

Brand Values and Tone of Voice

Completely consistent. Yet adaptable to change. The best brands know how to stick to their values while riding social variation.

Developing a brand over time requires consistency. You need constant effort and a clear vision for the future of the brand. Brand values are key. They should be documented and well-thought-out, with processes in place to ensure consistency. Stay true to your founding principles. Those communicating for your brand need a deep understanding of what the brand means. What does it stand for? Where is it positioned on any number of issues?

At fastfwd, we help you answer those questions. It’s all about guidelines. Our branding specialists work with you to confirm your guidelines are solid. We ensure you can maintain brand management over time and navigate changes in the social mood.

But what about hostility online? Negativity isn’t nice, but it’s inevitable. Your team must know how to deal with negative comments online. We can help incorporate this into training and find ways to get more customer reviews online. At fastfwd, we help you handle anything the online universe throws at you.
