Crafting a Brand Identity, Brand Strategy

Hello! I'm AnnaKate, a Brand Strategist + Designer at Rhema Design Co. I've been crafting strategic brand identities for several years now using the skills you'll learn in this class.

In this course, you'll learn:

• What Brand Strategy is
• The key elements of a successful Brand Strategy
• Why strategy is so important in designing a brand
• How to pitch strategy as a service to your clients
• How to gather information from your clients
• How to gather productive client feedback
• How to curate images for a moodboard
• How to create a moodboard rationale breakdown 

Throughout the course you'll see a real world example from a previous client of mine (names changed) in the class project example. You'll have access to the questionnaire I use to gather information and feedback from my clients, a presentation template, two moodboard templates, and learn how to curate images for a moodboard.

What you'll learn throughout this course can result in more successful Brand Design projects, an improved client experience, and, eventually, more income.

Resources Provided:

• Strategy Questionnaire (provided as an Adobe PDF and a Microsoft Word document)
• Presentation Template (provided as an Adobe InDesign file)
• Two Moodboard Templates (provided as an Adobe Illustrator file)
• Feedback Questionnaire (provided as an Adobe PDF and a Microsoft Word document)

This course is aimed at new or aspiring brand designers working with small businesses. Experience with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign is highly recommended.
