Sneak peek of a website design in the works... ✨💻🤍

This client came to me with a website template but needed it customized to align with her brand. She wanted lots of organic elements relating to travel/nature & overall, just feel more like her — warm & approachable. For example, I added a branded postcard on the about page to bring that vision to life! 💌

I took a neutral feeling template and completely customized it to meet my clients goals. 🥂

I would love to know what you think of it in the comments! 👩🏼‍💻

Dreamy business cards I designed for a client. 💌

In my Brand Design package, I love to include a little bonus — an extra brand collateral of your choice.

This can be anything from a business card design, Instagram highlight covers, social media templates, etc.

This sets you up for strong branding at every touchpoint for your audience. 🫶🏼

I do it because I believe branding goes further than a set of pretty logo variations, colour palettes and fonts… it’s about building an experience for your audience.

In honour of National Hat Day, here’s how wearing so many hats in previous marketing roles led me to start my social media & design business. 🤍📱🤠

Through all of my experience working in the social media marketing industry, I have learned SO much more than just that. I became immersed in brand strategy, paid ads, graphic design, content creation, brand design, copywriting, web design, video editing, & more…

As a post-grad I was eager to learn everything possible about the world of social media marketing and being able to juggle these other tasks was just the norm in my experience. There’s a lot of controversy online about social media roles & expectations but as someone who loves a change in pace every day, I loved it!

I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur so I took all of that knowledge & experience to start my social media & design business!

Now, I am working alongside clients to elevate their brands through scroll-stopping design, identity & social presence. I’m loving every moment!

🎙 Your turn! Have you experienced wearing more than one hat in a job? Let me know in the comments.

☁️ (Brand) Visuals: These are all of the visual elements of your branding like logo variations, colours, icons, etc. Your branding system should be flexible & work for all touchpoints of your customer journey.

☁️ (Brand) Experience: This is how you make people feel when they think of your brand. It’s what turns buyers into a loyal community. A well-crafted brand experience is made up of consistency in all of the above facets that builds connection.

& to tie this all together you have to be consistent across the board to leave that lasting impression on your audience.

If you're looking to grow in 2024 you need to read what people are craving from brands 👇🏼

Merriam-Webster announced their 2023 word of the year is "Authentic" ⚡️

In a year where Al has taken off & social media has evolved, the word echoes what people really value when it comes to brands & social media. 👀

"A high-volume lookup most years, authentic saw a substantial increase in 2023, driven by stories and conversations about AI, celebrity culture, identity, and social media."
— Merriam-Webster

With apps like BeReal, a shift in content creators, UGC & marketing, people are craving authenticity from brands & social media. 📱

⬇️ Sooo what does this mean for your brand & why you should lead with authenticity in 2024...

88% of consumers say that authenticity is a key factor when deciding what brands they like & support

People value realness & the same goes for brands! When brands are authentic, it creates a genuine connection with their audience & builds trust to keep them coming back for more.

People are tiredddd of brands not feeling genuine. They want to see social proof (re; the viral Stanley video), the behind-the-scenes content, they want to know about your practices, & they want you to listen...

A brand that values transparency, is consistent in its identity & messaging is an authentic one.
These types of brands build sustainable relationships with its audience.

Authenticity has become a key ingredient in a brand in creating those genuine connections with its audience. 🫶🏼

🎙️ I want to hear what you think! Do you value authenticity with brands and social media?

💌 Ready to make those connections with your audience? I offer a social media strategy service where I will create a custom plan for you to reach your goals on socials!

Posting & ghosting is not it 😬

This is a *hot take* but I don’t use scheduling platforms as a social media manager. 📱

When I’m working with clients, I set up reminders for when a post is scheduled to go out in the content calendar & I will manually post it.

Yes, it’s obviously more convenient on my end to schedule the content using a scheduling platform BUT there’s a few reasons why I stick to doing it manually… 👀

I am very much a type A person so scheduling tools have me stressed. The amount of times I’ve experienced issues with these tools, like the quality going SO BAD or the spacing in the caption getting messed up…

For me, the most reliable way to make sure a post isn’t going to have any errors is to manually post it. ✅

I’ve worked in social media roles before where I’ve exclusively used scheduling platforms. When I transitioned to working on my own, I wanted to save some $$ so I cut out the scheduling platform subscription & saw a difference in terms of engagement & reach. 🫣

Social media is about being social after all. 💁🏼‍♀️

The algorithm cares about how long you spend on the app - you need to be actively using the platform when the post goes live. 💻

To find a happy medium to save time with scheduling, you can always have your posts saved as drafts. Just be sure you don’t post & ghost… 👻

Let me know what you think of scheduling posts! 👇🏼

With resources like Canva & Etsy templates so widely used, the same logos are used over & over again. how are you supposed to standout when you look just like everyone else... 🚩

I'm breaking down my branding process step-by-step so you can see how I create memorable brands for my clients that convert! 👀

Each step is rooted in the one prior, acting as building blocks to form the brand design. 🧩

When you invest in my brand design service, you’re investing in a complete logo system that works for all of your needs. 🫶🏼

💌 01 / CONNECT:
The first phase is all about getting to know you, your business & your why! We will hop on a discovery call to go into details about deliverables, pricing, timelines, etc. I will also send you a Branding Questionnaire to give me all of the details about the foundation of your brand.

💌 02 / STRATEGY:
This is where I do competitor research, target audience research, etc. to position your brand uniquely & ensure the designs speak to your target audience. This phase ensures I’m crafting a brand direction that is timeless & converts.

💌 03 / DESIGN:
I will get the ball rolling with a selection of moodboards to discover what direction to move forward with. Each of the concepts are rooted in the strategy and foundations of your brand. Once a creative direction has been selected, I will flush out 2 logo concepts in-depth.

💌 04 / REFINE + LAUNCH:
You will choose from 2 logo concepts presented with mockups so you can envision how your brand will look IRL & visualize how the colour palette + typography will work together. I will create a complete creative suite for your brand with 4-5 logo marks.

💌 05 / BRAND COLLATERAL:
To top off your brand design, I will create an additional brand collateral of your choice so your brand is fully stacked.

Are you showing up on Instagram stories? If not you are seriously missing out 👀...

Take a look at some stories I've designed for a client! Their stories centred around their content pillars to ensure each one provided value to their target audience. 🧘🏼‍♀️⚡️🫶🏼

Instagram stories are such an underrated tool, here's why I always include story sequences in my social media management packages:

🤳🏼 They are great for boosting engagement
🤳🏼 They give your audience a sneak peek on the BTS
🤳🏼 It's a great medium for building brand awareness
.. & it's the people who are most familiar with your brand who are showing up on your Instagram stories so they are engaged in your community and more likely to convert! 💌

Your Instagram stories should be integrated in your strategy & be on-brand in terms on aesthetics. 💫

🎙️ I want to hear from you! What questions do you have on showing up on Instagram stories?
