Branding

Branding ensures that your internal and external assets align and creates a distinct identity for your business, helping you to stand out in your market(s) and build loyalty through brand recognition.

Berlew crafts bespoke brands with sleek, high-quality designs that articulate and externalize businesses.

Website

Every business can profit from a website. A website is an activation point of your business that benefits from its versatility; a website has the power to inform customers, sell your product or services, gain newsletter subscriptions and drive traffic to enquiry forms, among many more benefits. 

Berlew ensures that your website is user-focussed with visual design that is aesthetically pleasing to your target audience (UI), accompanied with an interactive design that is smooth and easy to navigate (UX). With a focus on mobile responsiveness, we ensure that your website looks and performs flawlessly across all devices, maximizing reach and engagement.

If, over time, your branding and website are left without consideration or maintenance, they can become ineffective or outdated causing misalignment with your business values and goals. A harmonious brand is key to business success and applying a distinct brand identity across all activation points ensures consistency, increases credibility, and improves brand recognition.

 

It is therefore vital that your brand and website align, which is why Berlew offers a comprehensive branding service comprising brand strategy, identity, website design and development, along with ongoing brand management and support. We can tweak or completely overhaul your business’s visual identity to create a cohesive brand and apply it to all activation points, including your website. With our ongoing brand management and support, you can avoid a dated, misaligned brand and website.

Graphic Design

At Berlew Studio, we go beyond aesthetics, prioritizing functionality and effectiveness in every design project. With our dedication to excellence and a proven track record of delivering exceptional results, trust us to be your partner in achieving your graphic design objectives.

Branding

We recommend that you have a solid brand strategy in place before the creation of your visual identity, that way we can ensure it resonates with your target consumer and make you stand out in your market. Berlew also offers web design, as an activation point for your branding which is often a point of sale.
Branding

Brand Strategy

Brand strategy consists of tone of voice, brand personality, brand values, messaging, storytelling, mission and vision. Your brand identity is made up of tangible assets and is essentially a way to externalise your brand strategy. That’s why it’s recommended clients opt to receive both brand strategy and brand identity at one time, to create a harmonious brand.

What are the benefits of branding?

2
3

Branding creates a distinct identity for your business, which can increase credibility, improve brand recognition and promote recommendations. If unique and tailored to your business, branding can help you to stand out in your market and build loyalty. Branding ensures that your internal and external assets align and guarantees a consistent identity across activation points. This allows customers to easily find and recognise you on different platforms and marketing applications.

Why do I need a brand instead of just a logo?

2
3

We are highly passionate about the power of a brand over just a logo. Your brand consists of both tangible and intangible elements. It is important that together these amount to a distinct brand identity. Intangible elements are inclusive of your values, tone of voice and personality, and tangible elements include a logo suite, colour palette, typography and imagery. Creating brand guidelines with these elements ensures that you have a consistent presence across different applications and platforms, such as marketing materials, your website and social media platforms. Having a consistent presence across these activation points builds trust and credibility and furthers brand recognition and customer loyalty.

What does a branding agency do?

2

A branding agency takes a holistic approach to your business’s brand. An agency has the skills and expertise to create all necessary components of your brand, inclusive of brand strategy, identity, logo suite, and web design, to achieve a cohesive brand. They ensure that all internal and external assets align to create a strong brand identity that will increase brand recognition. An agency works with you to transform ideas into realised assets that are suited to your market and audience. They instil confidence in brand application by ensuring that there is a brand asset suited to every activation point. Additionally, they can explain design fundamentals, for example, scenarios in which you should use a logo icon over a wordmark. Moreover, you can feel assured that you will receive optimal document resolutions and ratios for printed or digital work.

How important is a website?

2
3

Your website is a point of sale and promotes customer conversions. Benefits of a website include improved credibility, increased brand awareness, and a way for you to communicate your values and products to your audience. Also, it is noteworthy that most people prefer to shop online, so with websites accessible to consumers 24 hours per day, websites can be significant for business success.

How involved am I in the creation and running of my website?

2

We understand that a website can be daunting, but fear not! Our expertise and experience mean we can take it off your plate. However, your involvement is paramount throughout the process. From the initial brief to the design phase and beyond, we value your input and collaboration. Your unique insights and preferences shape the direction of your website, ensuring it reflects your brand identity and goals. Even after your website is launched, we provide you with the tools and support necessary to manage and update your website, empowering you to stay connected with your online presence. Rest assured, we’re here to exceed your expectations and ensure your website evolves with your business.
