Brand Standards

With Ad Ventures’ expertise, your new brand identity will drive home the image you want your company to convey. We carve out your niche and present it in a unique, compelling way.

To get there, we look at what the other guys are doing. A strategy is then developed to design your brand identity so it stands out from the competition. Several concepts are explored and a wide selection of recommend logo directions are presented. From there, your logo is refined based on your agency input and client feedback until your final logo is “blazing hot.”

Logo Design and Brand Creation

Ad Ventures specializes in rebranding and creating new brands – both concept brands and commodity brands.

Because your logo is the foundation of your branding, we design it to wear well over the years, so that your integrated marketing can build upon it. We invest time at the front-end to define the unique aspects and core strengths of your company, your history and how you want it to be seen, whether for corporate identity or for a new product or service. So by the end of the process, your logo design will be identifiable and one of a kind, reflecting your company voice.

Brand identity is much more than a logo design. An identity reflects a company’s image or “personality,” and encompasses branding elements such as brand colors, slogans, typography, style, names, and symbols. For this reason, Ad Ventures often begins the logo design process in conjunction with creating a new website brand. A website provides a unique benefit to showcase the “big picture” of a company’s story because, unlike a brochure, a broadcast spot or a billboard, it’s not limited to a handful of pages or a few seconds of air time. So we take advantage of the extra “real estate” space a website has to offer, and let the brand identity evolve through website theme development, more color, voice, style, messaging and positioning during our brand conceptualization process.

Brand Management & Online Reputation Control

With the tremendous growth of the internet’s marketing power, it is important to consider a brand reputation management program as an integral component of your overall marketing strategy. Your business has moved ahead of the competition and grown because of years of hard work growing a solid brand and good reputation. The Internet has the potential to quickly damage some of that good branding because of hacking, spamming, false reviews, inaccurate rating submissions, bogus editorials or even honest complaints that a legitimate company wasn’t given a chance to address.

Ad Ventures’ provides weekly, monthly and
semi-annual plans to manage your online
branding and reputation.

    negative feedback or reviews

    metatags that appear in Google, Yahoo and other
    search engine search pages.
  • Analyze local and national listings to maintain
    accuracy of your business/organization information.
  • Utilize Google, Yahoo and Bing webmaster tools to
    spot check for potential spammers utilizing
    cloaking and other spamming methods.
  • Monitor for unauthorized use of a brand logo or
    other misinformation.
  • Manage your brand via social media sites and
    networking.

Positioning Statement

Your brand positioning is an important phase of the strategic building of your branding. Before or during the brand creation process, we collaborate how best to position your business, its products and/or services in the form of positioning, often called a tagline or a primary positioning statement.

Messaging

Messaging supports your positioning statement and/or tagline. When transferring your logo and positioning into a new website, for example, we plan every page within that site to reinforce your positioning.
