How do you know if you’ll get the results you want?

Working with clients, like you; decision makers, business leaders, management teams, entrepreneurs and marketing teams, you can seen their results — they prove you can eliminate inconsistencies, reduce vulnerabilities and increase your profits by using robust systemised processes.
You can leverage evidence based brand strategy  that provides strong direction for your business or organisation because this is at the heart of what makes standout brands really profitable, and ongoing customer and talent attracting magnets.

What is Brand Strategy versus Design versus Marketing?

It’s important to note that brand strategy and branding is not marketing or design. These are separate disciplines that are also essential elements in building a successful business. Branding strategy works in parallel with your business strategy, so together they form the bedrock of your business by informing key commercial decisions.

Brand Strategy defines…

  1. Who you are
  2. What you stand for
  3. Why you exist
  4. How you’re different in customer relevant terms
  5. Why you’re the perfect choice for your ideal target audience — your value proposition

Brand Strategy aligned to your business strategy provides the direction for marketing campaigns and design execution, so it comes first, before marketing or design are initiated.

    “I recently organized a large Business Forum for business owners and stakeholders entitled ‘After the Storm – New Business Opportunities’ to highlight the challenges and changing face of doing business in 2013. I was delighted to engage Lorraine Carter to speak at the Forum as I have seen first hand her expertise in Branding and Design.

    More importantly I know Lorraine as a Professional Speaker who delivers not only excellent content but is passionate about the positive financial impact of great branding and design.

    Lorraine’s talk entitled ‘Brand Your Way Out of Recession’ was extremely well received. Her clarity, eloquence and use of storytelling evoked clear examples of how both big, medium and even small businesses have reached the top with successful use of effective branding and design.

    I’d recommend Lorraine as a Speaker at your next event or conference. She is an expert in what she does but more importantly she is an expert who knows how to speak about it!”

    Sharon Cahir | Author Solicitor Lawyers and Leaders Coach and Trainer

    “I have had the benefit of working alongside Lorraine Carter with mutual clients and will happily do so again.

    Lorraine understands the power of brands for businesses in a way that makes practical sense to businesses. Her dedication to her craft is a great credit to her along with her attention to her clients and the details that matter.

    Lorraine understands how to work with people who don’t work with brands on a daily basis and above all Lorraine has a bottom line value orientation. I look forward to continuing working with Lorraine and her team at Persona Branding & Design.”

    “The Maguire & Paterson brand was established in 1882 and therefore the rebranding and new packaging had to be managed in a very sensitive and caring manner.

    Persona Branding & Design worked very effectively with the M&P management team ensuring that the findings of consumer research were correctly interpreted and factored into the brand revitalization and new range designs. We found their ability to steer us of significant benefit.

    Persona Branding & Design also ensured that we kept our focus on core objectives and diplomatically challenged us at various stages on our thought process, ensuring that any brand preferences did not stray from the core objectives.

    We would have no hesitation in recommending Persona Branding & Design and we would be very pleased to speak with any potential client(s).”
