BRAND STRATEGY

 

If you’re a little weird, keep reading.

Most business coaches will tell you to “niche down”. To find that one thing you’re good at, refine it, and then stay in that lane. So we did.

Twice.

We design thoughtful, strategic brands for small business owners. Some might call that a niche. Our other, more important niche is people. People who are curious, unconventional, quirky, off-beat, and a little weird. No, a lot weird. Actually, the weirder, the better.

Weird people like us have the best ideas. The most passion. The zero-est of cares about what anyone else thinks. Whatever you keep coming back to, whatever you can’t stop thinking about — that’s the thing we want to help bring to life.

We don’t want to help you “uplevel” your brand.

What does that even mean anyway?

Branding doesn’t have to be about achieving more status, growing a bigger business, or earning more money. It certainly helps with all of that, but above everything, branding is about emotion. Good branding makes your clients want to be a part of what you're doing, not just buy what you're selling. It's the difference between customers and fanatics. It sounds woo-woo but it works.

When we brand your company, we want to take hold of the ideas in your head and shape them into something tangible. Something that looks and feels on the outside as exciting as it feels to you on the inside.

Home Testimonials

“Like breathing a huge sigh of relief because you're in the hands of a professional.”

“Every time I dream up the visuals for my own brand, I have so many competing ideas. The vision boards I create have zero cohesiveness. I know when I think something looks good, but I have no skill in articulating why I like it or how it relates to my brand.

But Mattie! Mattie is the magic that brings it all together. She pulls all my concepts to the front and center and examines what works and what doesn't. She asks honest and kind questions about why I want my brand to look a certain way. And she doesn't create a single thing until she's developed a full strategy for the brand. With Mattie, you know and feel you're in the hands of a professional the entire time. Working with her is breathing a huge sigh of relief that someone is as good at design as you are at your own magic.”

- Rachel Greiman, Green Chair Stories

“The best business investment I’ve ever made.”

“Mattie is more than just an incredibly talented designer - she listens, encourages, and helps you see the potential within your jumbled ideas and then gracefully turns them into a beautiful, organized product that serves, connects, and leads. She captured the heart of my mission in all the tiny details and elevated my business beyond belief. Mattie brought cohesion, professionalism, and connection to my brand and website. Working with her was the best business investment I’ve ever made - I can't recommend her enough.”

- Sami Carrick, Sunnyseed

“Communicative, kind, versatile, and highly-skilled - a true gift to our organization.”

“Mattie has an innate design sense, and was able to take our organization’s values and visually represent them in an aesthetic that is far beyond what we could have ever imagined. The North Pole Studio supports artists with autism, and Mattie worked collaboratively with one of our founding artists to develop a website that incorporated his creative vision, truly capturing the spirit of our organization. We have been blown away with her earnestness and thoughtfulness throughout this process.

Mattie is professional, communicative, highly skilled, kind, enthusiastic, versatile and flexible. She rose to the challenge of supporting our organization through a virtual fundraiser and art auction on our site. Her expertise, quick solutions, and positive personality has been a true gift to our organization.”

- Sula Willson, North Pole Studio

“Mattie perfectly articulated my vision.”

“I’ve lost track of the number of times I've heard "strong branding" used to describe Quoin, and I could not agree more! Mattie perfectly articulated my vision and took my ideas to the next level. She even came up with my brand name and tag line, which are two beautiful plays on words. I’m so grateful to have had her guidance - I learned so much from her along the way - and it made the idea of starting my own business feel (slightly) less overwhelming.”

- Erin Jones, Quoin
