Branding

By taking the time to develop a genuine understanding of our business and where we want to go UntilNow have created a powerful new visual identity that has been transformative for our us.
BoozeBud

Andy Williamson

CEO

BoozeBud

Most branding projects end with a beautiful PDF and a team that quietly reverts to the old templates. UntilNow works the other way. We run branding as one connected engagement, from positioning and naming through visual identity, tone of voice and guidelines, and we stay through rollout across web, product and print. You get a brand your team can use on Monday, not a document they have to interpret first.

What we offer

Our Branding Services

Branding is a system, not a logo. Every piece below connects to the next, so positioning shapes the name, the name shapes the identity, and the guidelines make all of it repeatable without us in the room.

How do we do it?

Benefits of Working with a Branding Agency

Most in-house teams do not have the bandwidth to hold a brand together while also shipping campaigns. The result is more revision rounds, drifting consistency, and performance that quietly declines. A branding agency exists to remove that tax.

One team, strategy through rollout

Positioning, naming, identity and guidelines handled by the same people, so nothing gets lost in the handover between three different agencies.

Recognition that compounds

A consistent brand means every touchpoint reinforces the last, building recognition and trust over time instead of resetting it.

Built for real use

We design for the way your marketing, sales and product teams actually work, so the brand holds up in their hands and not just in the presentation.

Bridge into product and web

Because we also design and build digital products, the brand threads into the interface itself rather than stopping at the marketing site.

Results

How a branding engagement runs

Five phases, roughly eight to sixteen weeks depending on scope. Each one ends with a decision, not just a deliverable, so you always know what has been settled before the next phase starts.
1
No items found.

Discovery and audit

Week 1 to 2. Interviews with your leadership, sales and customers, an audit of the brand as it exists today across every touchpoint, and a read of the category you compete in. This phase ends with the real problem written down, which is not always the one in the brief.

2
No items found.

Strategy and positioning

Week 2 to 4. Category frame, audience, and the difference you can defend. Naming happens here too when it is in scope. The output is a one page brief your team can hold in their head, not a sixty page deck.

3
No items found.

Identity design

Week 4 to 8. Two or three genuinely different directions, presented in real applications rather than on a white artboard, because a logo on its own tells you very little. One direction is chosen and built out into a full system: logo, colour, typography, graphic language, motion.

4
No items found.

Voice and system

Week 7 to 11. Tone of voice, messaging framework, and the guidelines that document every decision. Delivered as a brand book, a digital brand portal, or both, depending on how your team works day to day.

5
No items found.

Rollout and handover

Week 10 onward. The identity applied to the surfaces that matter first, usually web, product, deck and social. We stay through this phase because rollout is where most brands quietly lose their consistency.
