Branding

What is branding?

Branding is giving your company a personality.

Logo, brand colors, mission statement, tone of voice - all these elements are part of your brand identity.

But building a brand that lasts and scales goes beyond that. It includes creating essential visual and verbal elements, which will form your unique startup image and your story.

How it works

Getting a creative direction

Our journey starts with a brand questionnaire to understand your vision and values. We’ll discuss in detail the goals and struggles of your brand, which inspire the creative direction for your brand's verbal and visual identity. After that, we’ll roll up our sleeves and start creating.

Creation time

This is where the magic happens. We’ll develop initial designs and messaging concepts, alongside setting up your website's main framework. After presenting our ideas, your feedback will be crucial for refining these elements and finding the perfect match with your desired brand identity.
