Values-based branding™
We help you craft an authentic brand story based on your core values.
Receive personal attention from our creative director to ensure your business not only presents its best image but is working to connect with your customers or clients. We do this with a proven discovery and evaluation process that responds to your unique needs.
Brand Naming and Development
Brand naming is just one of the many results of a successful brand strategy when built upon a strong foundation of purpose and beliefs - the core values that ground you!
To help build a successful brand we first need to establish a strong identity foundation. A sturdy brand is built upon a why (vision), a what (mission), and a how (values). Our in-depth discovery process gathers all the supplies needed to build your brand with a creative questionnaire to identify your brand values and ideal customers or clients so we can firmly root your brand.
Logo Design
Art is subjective and so is design. This is why we rely upon a set of criteria to explore the visual identity of your brand. We work to define success with you, not for you.
Then we create two or three draft logo and color palette options and review them with you to ensure concept understanding and direction. After you choose your favorite concept, we go into the refinement stage to reach a final visual identity that is tailored to your brand.
You will be equipped with everything you need to get your brand growing.

“I highly recommend Nicole. She did great work for us, and was thorough, professional, and fun to work with. Never missed a deadline; dealt with shifting, changing project scope, including directing complicated artwork, and putting together and conducting a focus group in record time. She knows what she’s doing!”

“Nicole is a top-notch designer and brand strategist with a keen eye for details. She thinks beyond the visual details of a piece, thinking about impact, information flow and how someone might experience a piece. I worked with Nicole on countless projects over 7 years and was impressed by the quality of work every time.”

“The Greater Vancouver Chamber was led through a collaborative Values Based (re)Brand Strategy by Sprout Partners and the result was a fresh, modern, inclusive, and authentic brand that resonates with our stakeholders. The proof is the sizable increase in participation and the digital consumption by the businesses and professionals in southwest WA as well as the almost daily positive feedback our team receives from our members. Internally, we are proud to have visual assets and a branding strategy that reflects the core of the Chamber and the internal alignment which was a byproduct of this process that will pay dividends into the next decade.”

"We hired Sprout Partners to completely redo our website, including moving our platform. They were great at listening to how we want our website to function as well as how we anticipate using it in the future and putting all the pieces in place so we didn't have to make a ton of changes later. Sprout Partners helped integrate our website with our CRM to streamline our information flow and improve our internal processes. Communication was quick and thorough. We highly recommend using Sprout Partners and will likely use them again in the future for some of their other services."

Brand Position and Messaging
Think of positioning as the soil in which you will plant your brand. This is where you know the brand will thrive and attract customers or clients based on their needs, demographics, values, and how your brand is uniquely positioned for them. Your positioning will provide you with a guide for highlighted features, pricing strategies, and the tone of your message.
Messaging is how you will plant your brand; how it is presented and talked about. Your messaging garden may change based on the season while the positioning soil may only need to be turned every so often. Sprout Partners can help you plan your brand positioning and messaging garden.
We will work with you to put together a positioning strategy based on your brand values and customer personas. Then we can build your messaging story centered around positioning beliefs all designed to serve the many seasons of your business.

Sprout Partners’ 36-page values-based brand strategy workbook gives you our tried and true method for laying the groundwork for identifying and communicating with your brands target audience. We normally charge thousands of dollars to conduct a four hour workshop with clients to harvest all this information. If you are looking for a cost-effective DIY solution then this interactive digital workbook will get you the same information as one of our workshops for a fraction of the cost.
Brand strategy is the legwork that needs to be done in order to build the most efficient deliverables (all the visual collateral: logos, typefaces, illustration and photography style plus the verbal messaging: voice and tone, marketing copy, etc.) that resonate with your target audience groups, motivating them to engage and become repeat clients. Once you have the strategy in place, a strong foundation is laid for the visuals and marketing content driven by strategic purpose and meaning, rather than by arbitrary aesthetic preferences that can change over time.
Take the guesswork out of building your brand by purchasing an instant download of our interactive workbook today.
