"CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE REACHED THE FINALS!..

I ended last week with a lovely (surprising!) letter through the post and an email that landed in my inbox so naturally starting the week off with a high! (even though it's rather grey and gloomy out there!)

As a designer, I use creative software, like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, to design assets for my clients and my business. But what do you do if as a business owner you don’t have (or want!) to use those tools….?

I originally published this article a while ago so I thought I would revamp it and give it a good update as now more than ever it’s so important to bring out the human side of your brand and business.

To give some context, many many moons ago, when I first started out, I made the impression my business was more than a one-woman band. I thought that was the way to go, and I thought it would be beneficial for my clients to see and believe that they are dealing with a big professional company. Although this route can work for some businesses and brands, it wasn’t for me, and I’m sure it may not be for everyone.

So today I wanted to share some tips on how to humanise your brand and how to make your business feel more personal and how to build a connection with your clients or customers.

Understanding your website analytics is so important, it’s something that is an ongoing task and one I know I need to do more of! I know I’m not alone in this and so in today’s post, I thought I would share something I know a lot of business owners, that have a Squarespace website, have asked me recently - How to set up Google Analytics and connect it to your Squarespace website.

Let’s cut to the chase, you NEED followers on social media because without them you’re basically just shouting into a void but do you really know what you should be ‘doing’ with them?…

As a brand identity designer (as well as a Squarespace website designer), I help business owners bring their vision and goals to life all whilst ensuring that the designs appeal to their target audience.

What’s super important is that once the brand identity is created, and you have your “brand toolkit” in hand, you need to USE it! And that is what I’m covering in today’s article… 20 ways to use your brand identity (not just your logo).
