How to Start a Brand

Creating a strong brand identity is essential for any new company. It’s what makes you memorable, defines how you’re perceived, and sets you apart from competitors. But how do you get started? Here are some foundational questions every new company should ask to shape a distinct, effective brand identity:

  1. Who Are We Serving?
    Identify your target audience. Who are they, what do they need, and what values resonate with them? A deep understanding of your audience ensures your brand aligns with their desires and expectations.
  2. What Problem Do We Solve?
    Think about the unique value you’re offering. What need does your product or service meet, and how are you making people’s lives easier or better? This question helps you position your brand around a clear solution that matters.
  3. What’s Our Unique Voice?
    Decide on a tone and personality for your brand. Are you casual and friendly, professional and authoritative, or playful and creative? Your brand voice should align with your mission and values while resonating with your target audience.
  4. What Are Our Core Values?
    Define the principles guiding your business. What values do you stand by, and how do they influence your decisions? These values help form a brand ethos that’s consistent and authentic.
  5. What Do We Want to Be Known For?
    This is about brand positioning. Ask yourself, What words do we want people to associate with us? Whether it’s innovation, quality, trust, or excitement, your positioning should consistently reflect this aspiration.
  6. How Will We Differentiate Ourselves?
    Identify what makes you stand out from the competition. Is it your product quality, customer service, or unique style? Highlighting this differentiator in your brand identity will help you stay memorable.

Q&A

You might have questions. We might have answers.

You can! But a senior designer can command $30K a month. Also, depending on your needs, they may not be able to do all that’s required. Fractional design partners like LaunchBox bring a range of skills and and a lot of experience for an affordable monthly rate.

Good question. This depends a lot on you, but we can do a lot if we work well together. For example, it’s reasonable for us to deliver a brand, website, merch, presentations, and print/packaging in a month.

No, there are no refunds, but you can pause, cancel, upgrade or downgrade your subscription any time. We also offer a risk-free no-card-needed trial so you can test LaunchBox for yourself!

The source files are yours, and you will have access to them during the entire subscription.

We produce video and animation using Blender and Resolve. We build sites in Framer, and Wordpress. We design using Affinity Designer and Figma. We can also adapt to your needs.

You add tasks to a shared Trello board and we’ll deliver on the task within 48 hours. Tasks are updated and links are added to the board. The board holds everything. We provide task templates so you can see a roadmap for most project types when creating tasks.
