Brand. Branding. Noun. Verb.
If only it were that simple.
Recently, Ideen, LLC assisted Web
Moxie (formerly Web Diva) rebrand its services through the company’s most
visible medium: its website. By working closely with the client in a
partnership that established trust and the free exchange of ideas, we were able
to help the Web Moxie create a brand identity that was unique, refreshing, and
memorable.
Rebranding requires more than just changing a logo or
company name: it takes a conscious analysis of the product or services being
offered and the kind of clientele that the business wants to reach. Branding is all about the promise that a
company makes and fulfills. Branding is
about trust.
When the owner of Web Moxie came to Ideen, she had already made
a big first step in the rebranding process by changing the name of her company.
With the help of Ideen, she developed a one-page brand summary that clearly
stated each of her brand elements, a process that, while challenging, produced
an end result that appeared simple and intuitive.
Next, Ideen helped revise existing text and craft new
content to better reflect Web Moxie’s updated brand identity and bring life to
the project. Ideen did not work directly on the graphic design of the website, but
we made sure that the new look-and-feel was consistent with the client’s
rebranding strategy.
And the new tag line – “Where art meets function” – succinctly
captured Web Moxie’s sweet spot. Web
Moxie is masterful at providing back-end web design functions, while also
capturing the graphic spirit of a client’s company. This is Web Moxie’s promise to its clients.
By this step in the rebranding process, the partnership
between Ideen and Web Moxie was steeped in trust. Working closely with the
client through each step in the rebranding process, Ideen was able to support
and make suggestions for the owner of Web Moxie without forcing any ideas on her. This kind of trust is crucial in every Ideen
partnership, since the whole reason for rebranding is to create a visual and
verbal representation of a company consistent with the client’s vision, not our own.
The process of developing Web Moxie’s new brand was not
arduous or dull work for the client – creating a new brand can and should be
exciting for any business. All it takes is asking the right questions to get
the kind of answers that will open up worlds of possibilities for new brand ideas,
making rebranding as much a process of self-discovery as a calculated business
decision. We hope that by giving you this insight into our process, you will
find that Ideen has the tools and expertise to guide any company through a
unique and successful branding process.
