🔍 How we made it happen for Emily…
Step 1: The Brand Appetizer
We began by getting clear on her purpose, values, and her unique difference that makes clients love her.
If your redesign doesn't start here, beware of building a forgettable brand that blends in.
Step 2: Industry Research
We explore language, trends, and tone – not to copy what’s out there, but to create something different that will resonate with the right people.
The goal is to stand out. 🎯
Step 3: Core Branding Ideation
At this stage, my secret weapon is my sketchbook.
We dumped every “okay” idea out of our brains first. These are the common industry tropes that everyone uses – the symbols and messaging that are so basic, they’re forgotten as soon as the customer sees them.
The gold mine lives beneath these.
I came up with 5 solid contenders for brand names. Then, Emily pressure-tested them with her clients – because their opinion isn’t just nice to have, it’s non-negotiable.
Final Brand Name: Mind Growth Lab
It’s a name that says “come in, experiment with proven frameworks, and walk out with a plan.” Which is the exact transformation her clients crave.
