Does your brand truly reflect your values and connect with your ideal audience?
Branding is more than just a logo—it’s the heart of your business identity. For health and wellness professionals, a cohesive brand builds trust, attracts the right clients, and sets the foundation for long-term success. At Grassroots Creative Company, I take a strategic approach to branding, ensuring your visual identity aligns with your mission and speaks to your audience. Here’s what you can expect when working with me.
The Grassroots Branding Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Complete the New Client Form. Complete the New Client Form on the info page of my website. This helps me understand your needs, budget, and readiness. I’ll be in touch by email.
2. Brand Strategy Questionnaire. A brand strategy questionnaire will be emailed for you to complete. This will pinpoint your values and clarify your vision, plus it will give me more info on your business so we can have a focused and productive conversation.
Pro Tip: Be as detailed as possible when filling out the questionnaire because the more insight you provide, the stronger and more aligned your final brand will be.
3. Consultation & Brand Discovery. If you’re ready, we’ll chat on Zoom to discuss your project, goals, ideas, potential project dates, and branding assets. We’ll chat about your business, audience, values, and vision. If we’re on the same page, we’ll move forward with the next steps.
4. Proposal & Booking. A custom proposal will be prepared outlining your project and payment options. Make your selections and submit your deposit online within two business days before the proposal expires. A secure online agreement will follow with project dates and payment for your signature to officially book your project.
5. Mood Board & Feedback. Inspired by you, I’ll create and share a mood board showcasing colors, typography, and imagery that align with your brand’s personality. This step kicks off our feedback steps; anything I send you will be open for your feedback and approval.
Pro Tip: A mood board is a great way to test visual elements before committing to a full design. If something feels off, let’s refine it.
6. Color Palette & Typography Selection. Your color palette and font pairing play a crucial role in brand recognition. I’ll provide a custom color palette and font recommendations to maintain consistency across all brand touchpoints.
7. Logo Concept Development. I’ll design several logo concepts based on our discovery and mood board. With each concept, I aim to provide a few styles and variations unique to your health and wellness business. Select your favorite design.
8. Refinement & Finalization. Next I’ll work to refine your new logo. This ensures balance, scalability, and versatility across all applications. Depending on the packages, you’ll receive a finalized primary logo, alternate logos, and a submark for different branding needs.
Pro Tip: A great logo is simple, versatile, and memorable. Avoid overly complex designs that may not scale well across different mediums.
9. Brand Style Guide & Collateral Design. Consistency is key to a professional brand. I’ll compile all branding elements into a comprehensive style guide that outlines logo usage, colors, typography, and brand applications. Depending on your selected branding package, I’ll also design supporting materials such as business cards, social media graphics, email signatures, or add-on marketing templates. These assets help you present a cohesive brand across all platforms.
Pro Tip: Use your style guide as a brand blueprint to maintain consistency across all platforms—in your social media, website, or print materials. Share your guide with vendors or printers to ensure proper brand placement and colorization.
10. Final File Delivery & Brand Launch. You’ll receive all final brand files, including vector and web-friendly formats, ensuring you have everything needed to implement your new brand seamlessly. With everything in hand, you’re ready to share it with the world!
