Brand. A word so popular in today’s culture that even YOU can be a brand. But do you know a “brand” is made of more than just a logo or a select set of colors? At Moxie Creative, we believe your brand is so much more than your logo. Your brand is your business’s personality, heart, and soul. It tells your customers what they can expect from your products and services, and it differentiates you from your competitors.
As your business evolves, it’s important your brand does too. Why? Because your brand is directly associated with your value. If there is a disconnect between the two, you’re losing out on new clients and, ultimately, profit. Wah, wah, wah…
If you feel like your organization is struggling to connect with your end consumer, it might be time to invest in branding services. Whether you need to start from scratch or simply find a better way to communicate who you are as a company, here are six branding services that can help.

Research shows that consumers are not as loyal to a product as they are to a brand. They will stay with a brand, even if a competitor is selling the same thing at a lower price, because of brand loyalty.

Memorable brands start with a strong name. Your name and tagline and two will become two of the most important elements within your brand strategy. Your name tells your audience who you are, while your tagline tells them what you do and why you do it better.3. Logo Design
First impressions are crucial, and your logo is the first glimpse of your brand. It’s an essential component of your visual identity and will be used as the face of your organization. From your logo design, customers should be able to determine who you are, what you do, and if you’re a brand they can trust. A logo that is outdated and not thoughtfully designed can give customers untrustworthy vibes, while a throughout, modern design can provide an immediate trust factor.
