External branding

How the world sees you

External branding can be loosely defined as the sum of all of your customer facing activities. We’re an agency that can deliver all the cohesive strategic and visual elements of your external brand. We can help you define how the outside world sees your organisation and what makes you immediately recognisable.

When people think about branding, they tend to think about elements like logos and marketing slogans. But external brand design is so much more – a brand is the set of expectations, stories and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to engage with your company. Whether it’s how your buildings look or how your packaging appears on the shelf, external branding includes all the elements that people can see.

A successful brand isn’t just about how well you communicate your brand externally to potential customers, it’s also about how you communicate your brand internally to your employees and stakeholders – your external brand is what makes you recognisable to everyone.

OUR external branding
PROCESS

We build external brand systems that are consistent, expressive and rooted in strategy. Here’s how we approach it:

Discovery and Strategy

We start by uncovering how you’re seen and defining where you want to go. These are the focus areas:

  • Run stakeholder workshops to uncover brand truths.
  • Audit existing brand assets and external presence.
  • Clarify positioning, values and audience perceptions.
  • Define messaging pillars and creative direction.

Visual Identity

We craft the visible elements that make your brand recognisable and memorable. Key outputs typically include:

  • Brandmarks, colour palettes and typography.
  • Imagery, iconography and motion guidelines.
  • Cohesive design across packaging, signage, digital and print.
  • Scalable brand systems for different applications.

Brand Expression

We take the identity beyond design – into every space your audience encounters it. This can include:

  • Signage, wayfinding and environmental branding.
  • Packaging, advertising and promotional assets.
  • Digital brand application across all channels.
  • Messaging and tone consistency across platforms.

Implementation and Support

We help you roll out the brand with confidence and maintain consistency long-term. We typically provide:

  • Brand guidelines tailored to your organisation.
  • Toolkits for internal and external teams.
  • Practical support during brand rollout.
  • Training and creative consultation where needed.
