    Our Triple Layer Brand Framework

    This methodology has evolved over 3 years and explains how our branding process ensures a return on your investment.

    It boils down to finding that sweet spot at the crossover of 3 key considerations:

    1. Your own preferences – You need to like your branding enough that you want to tell people about your business

    2. Audience preferences – You need to understand the desires, preferences and dislikes of your primary audience to make sure they will respond in the way you hope.

    3. Competitor research – Your branding needs to look different from your competitors in order to be noticed, charge pricing based on your business goals rather than racing to the bottom.

    With all this written and visual research and analysis in place, we’ve created the outer boundary, within which creativity can run wild with the brand design!

    All questions welcome

    Accessibility - Will *everyone* be able to see my new branding?

    Absolutely. I test all brand colour palettes against accessibility contrast requirements and make adjustments accordingly. In an on-brand way of course.

    I’m an established business looking for an in-depth and intensive rebrand process. Is this a good fit for me?

    You’re in the right place. We’ll go deep in the brand strategy session, can get staff and customers involved to ensure the final result hits the spot. Let’s chat about exactly what you need and whether Design Salad is right for you.

    What is the payment schedule?

    The deposit is 34% or 50%, then the remainder is broken into 2-5 equal payments depending on the project. We can also create a payment plan that suits you.

    It sounds time consuming, do I need to plan time off?

    While this is a comprehensive process on the design side, the initial brand strategy session is the longest time investment for you. In addition, there are multiple opportunities to give feedback at times that suit you.

    A rebrand shouldn’t be taken lightly, so I do advise dedicating energy to the process to get the most out of it. I’m always happy to discuss your time/energy constraints and how to make rebranding seamless for you.
