What is the branding and marketing process?
You will receive a phone based consultation and we’ll complete a brand discovery with you. Once we have all the information we need about your business, we’ll deliver a core strategy for you to consider. Once you’re delighted, we’ll deliver the core branding elements your business needs to set itself apart.
Isn’t a brand just a logo?
Not unless it’s burnt into a cow. Visual branding is an important aspect of the overall brand but is a result of your strategy, not at the core of it. Your logo will deliver your message and become an object of your customer’s affections but your overall branding message is so much more.
Does PR really make a difference?
PR is an umbrella term for a lot of activities. We will work with you to understand where your customers are and what they find valuable and then tailor your PR services to their needs. We’ll help you get in front of the right customer by growing your brand recognition.
Is Talk About Creative a dedicated PR firm?
No. Our PR services are part of your overall marketing strategy but not the core focus of it. We don’t offer everything a full service PR Agency would offer you because we’re focused on the best spend for your small business budget. We offer extensive Social PR services that are not generally available anywhere else. This is about finding high converting small media channels that convert better to sales.
