Comprehensive Brand Review

Do you know that your brand is outdated but feel unsure of where to start?

Are you worried about jeopardising your valuable clientele and reputation? Do you feel attached to certain elements of your brand and fear that an agency might dominate your decision-making process, discarding your hard work and history? We know a strong brand is essential for standing out in today’s competitive market and for building trust with your customers but I take a more considered approach. With nearly four decades of diverse experience, I offer a friendly and personalised service, tailored to meet your unique needs. I work in the best interest of your business, helping you identify areas for improvement and providing clear, actionable insights to refresh your brand.
Let’s ensure your brand accurately reflects your business and positions you for future success!

My comprehensive brand review helps re-align your brand with your current business objectives, ensuring consistency and effectiveness across all platforms. I start by researching your brand as it stands today and create a detailed audit. You’ll receive actionable insights to implement changes either in-house, with third-party support, or by appointing me to manage the updates.

Pricing for the comprehensive brand review starts at $3120 + GST, depending on the size of your business and scope of the project. Upon completion, you’ll receive a detailed PDF report, and I will talk you through the findings to ensure you’re ready to move forward confidently.

INCLUSIONS

  • You’ll receive expert suggestions on whether an updated logo or complete redesign is recommended, along with options, including IP Australia trademark registration insights.
  • Full review of your brand standards and market positioning, taking into account your competitors.
  • Analysis of positioning statements, fonts, colours, and overall brand identity.
  • Website audit, including content, design, and SEO improvement insights.
  • Social media and digital advertising presence evaluation.
  • Review of your Google Business listing(s).
  • Evaluation of existing print marketing materials and promotional merchandise: I assess the consistency and effectiveness of your brand across all physical assets, including brochures, sales tools, vehicle graphics, signage, and promotional merchandise. This review ensures that your printed materials and branded items, such as apparel and corporate gifts, align with your overall brand identity.
  • Examination of how your brand presents in-house, ie. how your brand is communicated internally across various touchpoints. I can assess the consistency and professionalism of your brand’s presence in team documentation, such as internal reports and presentations, stationery items like letterheads, business cards, email signatures, and recruitment postings. A strong, cohesive brand image enhances professionalism and fosters team unity and motivation, keeping everyone on the same page and reinforcing a shared sense of purpose and identity within the organisation.
