A brand that looks like you, from every angle

around the studio

Your Brand Essence is the heart of your brand. It’s who you are, it’s what you do and it should never change, but defining it can prove elusive.

A clearly understood Brand Essence is as central to designing your User Experience for eCommerce as it is to Art Directing a photoshoot or building infographics for digital communication.

At Blueboat, we work with our clients to define their Brand Essence. Once agreed and locked in, the heart of your brand should influence and drive the design of all creative: from sales materials and marketing campaigns, to print and digital collateral.

As your audience grows – through business expansion, acquisition, or the development of new products – how can you ensure that each customer feels like you are speaking directly to them, and not yelling broad-brush statements to a full stadium?

Your Brand may need some flexibility. It may be tweaked or varied in response to the unique needs of your customer or project. However, it’s imperative that it always remains authentic and true to its core. How are you going to manage this?

Consider this – imagine having at your finger tips a design toolbox ensuring across the board, consistent delivery of Brand Experience. Your colour palette, graphic style, typography and layout treatments need to work together in a way that is always true, no matter where it’s seen. Working with Blueboat to create a Brand Toolkit is collaborative from Day One. Our brand strategists work with your internal Brand Team to design the tools they need to keep your brand on track in everyday communications and customer interactions. It’s that easy. And suddenly, you’ve got a brand that looks great, from every angle.

Check out our case studies to see how we bring our clients’ brands to life, across every channel.

TEDx got me thinking about collaboration

How did an initiative that attracted donations and in-kind pledges of up to $250,000 within hours of being launched, end with TEDx issuing an apology and promising to rethink the whole concept?

Google is Changing. Are you Ready?

“Google to websites: Be mobile-friendly or get buried in search results.” – Mashable

Google has recently shaken up the way it ranks websites – in fact, this recent change to the algorithm represent one of the biggest in the past few years.

This new change is all about making sure more businesses design mobile friendly websites.

Whether or not a website is mobile responsive will now play a big role in how your site is ranked by Google, with sites that are not optimised for mobile likely to be punished with lower rankings. [Read more…]

Learning about Letterpress

letterpress-borisOne of the things I love most about print management is learning about different finishes, and along that way, developing an understanding of the considerations required early on from our designers or printers.

This month we’ve been looking at letterpress for a project we’re working on with The Austin. It’s been really interesting working with a specialised supplier to find out how they approach each job, doing a bit of research of my own and seeing how this particular print process is carefully considered by our design team in their concept development.

Watch this space… this is one #HotoffthePress you do not want to miss!

Meet Martin

Introducing our (not so new anymore) Digital Designer, Martin! Martin joined the boat a couple of months ago, and we think it’s time you got to know him too.

At Blueboat, something we share a passion for is imagination; in ideas, in the work we do, and in the personalities of each and every one of the people in the studio.

This time, it’s Martin turn to tell us about what’s sparking his imagination.
