How did you get started?<\/h3>\n<p>Early in the process, with a company name in mind, I approached Another Colour about developing a logo. What ensued was a much more thorough and thoughtful (but surprisingly easy and satisfying) process. In one of our early Zoom conversations, I was challenged with a series of unexpected questions&#8230; What do you actually do? Who are you hoping to work with? Where are they? How do your clients actually get value from you? What do you do that&#8217;s different to your competitors? What do you want to be known for? How do you want your clients to feel when they work with you?<\/p>\n<h3>From those questions, did you get a notion of the identity you wanted to build for the company?<\/h3>\n<p>Another Colour drew out of me a range of ideas I had around the identity of the company.

They helped me articulate some key principles (which I&#8217;m now developing to become our company values) which are integral to everything we do, internally and externally.<\/p>\n<h3>As a business to business company, were there aspects to consider in the branding process? How did this influence the delivery of the visual identity?<\/h3>\n<p>Another Colour highlighted to me a wider range of potential needs for a consulting business which I hadn&#8217;t thought about. This felt like information I was thirsty for and not a hard sell. They learned about the day-to-day tools I used to win and deliver business, which led to the design of custom-built PowerPoint templates for both digital and print use, Word templates for proposals and correspondence, business cards, an email signature, and web-friendly images and logos that I could use for a variety on online uses. It was a complete suite of professional and fresh looking products that tightly echoed my own mental picture of the company. And along the way I became educated in managing the company&#8217;s visual brand. There were also lots of priceless and really practical nuggets of advice throughout the process \u2014 such as management software tools, marketing ideas and online training.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"c-content\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"l-grid l-grid--mobile-center js-parallax js-auto-layout \">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"l-grid__col l-grid__col--mobile-8-8 l-grid__col--tablet-8-8 l-grid__col--desktop-6-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image-wrapper\"><div class=\"c-image-wrapper__inner \" style=\"padding-top:46.9375%;\"><figure class=\"u-figure u-figure--cover js-scroll-load\" data-id=\"738\" data-alt=\"PowerPoint template design with Open Bracket branding on laptop screen being edited by a person in a black shirt.\" data-width=\"1920\" data-height=\"902\" data-img-url-0=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E-480x225.jpg\" data-img-width-0=\"480\" data-img-height-0=\"225\" data-img-url-1=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E-640x301.jpg\" data-img-width-1=\"640\" data-img-height-1=\"301\" data-img-url-2=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E-1024x481.jpg\" data-img-width-2=\"1024\" data-img-height-2=\"481\" data-img-url-3=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E-1280x601.jpg\" data-img-width-3=\"1280\" data-img-height-3=\"601\" data-img-url-4=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E-1440x676.jpg\" data-img-width-4=\"1440\" data-img-height-4=\"676\" data-img-url-5=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E-1920x902.jpg\" data-img-width-5=\"1920\" data-img-height-5=\"902\" data-img-url-6=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-E.jpg\" data-img-width-6=\"1600\" data-img-height-6=\"751\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"c-content\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"l-grid l-grid--mobile-center js-parallax js-auto-layout \">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"l-grid__col l-grid__col--mobile-8-8 l-grid__col--tablet-8-8 l-grid__col--desktop-6-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image-wrapper\"><div class=\"c-image-wrapper__inner \" style=\"padding-top:68.3125%;\"><figure class=\"u-figure u-figure--cover js-scroll-load\" data-id=\"739\" data-alt=\"Open Bracket Consulting brand collateral including pins, lanyard, pen, notebook and tote bag.\" data-width=\"1920\" data-height=\"1312\" data-img-url-0=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-480x328.jpg\" data-img-width-0=\"480\" data-img-height-0=\"328\" data-img-url-1=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-640x437.jpg\" data-img-width-1=\"640\" data-img-height-1=\"437\" data-img-url-2=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-1024x700.jpg\" data-img-width-2=\"1024\" data-img-height-2=\"700\" data-img-url-3=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-1280x875.jpg\" data-img-width-3=\"1280\" data-img-height-3=\"875\" data-img-url-4=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-1440x984.jpg\" data-img-width-4=\"1440\" data-img-height-4=\"984\" data-img-url-5=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-1920x1312.jpg\" data-img-width-5=\"1920\" data-img-height-5=\"1312\" data-img-url-6=\"https:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/open-bracket-image-F-2560x1749.jpg\" data-img-width-6=\"2560\" data-img-height-6=\"1749\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"l-grid c-content\">\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"l-grid__col l-grid__col--desktop-4-8 l-grid__col--desktop-push-2-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"scope-text scope-text--post js-parallax\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Since launching, how has the brand been received?<\/h3>\n<p>Using the brand identity products had a greater impact than I could have anticipated. The feedback from my closest clients was that Open Bracket now felt more established and professional. They liked the cleanness and simplicity of the company&#8217;s look and feel. Customers (and myself!) started using the company name more. Most importantly, I noticed that having a proper company identity significantly built my own confidence in quoting my customers for what I know our work is worth \u2014 I was no longer just another freelancer, but instead a serious and competitive consultancy who clearly projected what they had to offer.<\/p>\n<h3>What benefits have you experienced as a result of the company branding?<\/h3>\n<p>The value I get from this process is still unfolding, and I&#8217;m glad I have a continuing relationship with Another Colour (for the times I need a friendly practical reminder on using the assets supplied, or even to benefit from their branding experience through stories on their website\/blog). I feel lucky to have engaged Another Colour when I did, from the beginning, because it has felt like a massive head-start. Fellow consultants (my competitors!) have commented that after one year, my company is where their&#8217;s was after 3 years. And I put a lot of that down to my relationship with Another Colour.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- end .c-section -->\n\t\n\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 h1,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 h2,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 h3,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 h4,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 h5,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 h6,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 p,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 ul,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 ol,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 li,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 blockquote,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 a,\n\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 .c-num-section__number {\n\t\t\t\tcolor:#FFFFFF !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 a {\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor:#00ebd6 !important;\n\t\t\t\t\ttransition:color 250ms, opacity 250ms !important;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.no-touch body .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 a:hover {\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor:#91eae3 !important;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 a {\n\t\t\t\t\topacity:1 !important;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.no-touch body .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 a:hover {\n\t\t\t\t\topacity:1 !important;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tbody .c-body .c-section.scope-custom-2348612 .u-figure {\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color:transparent !important;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"c-section scope-text-white scope-custom-2348612\" style=\"background-color:#226273;\"> \n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"l-grid c-content\">\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"l-grid__col l-grid__col--desktop-4-8 l-grid__col--desktop-push-2-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"scope-text scope-text--large scope-text--large-post js-parallax\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p>If you would like to discuss creating a brand for your professional services, please <a href=\"http:\/\/anothercolour.com.au\/contact\/\">get in touch.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4860,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,29],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Branding your professional services &#8212;
