[ Branding ]

Brand from Old English brand (burning, a burning piece of wood, torch, sword) initially used to indelibly mark items such as furniture and pottery.

Definition

Branding encompasses all the tangible or intangible factors that allow a company, a product or a service to distinguish itself and be remembered. Elements such as mission, scope of action, values or personality are fundamental to branding, all of which contribute to the brand platform. Beyond verbal or visual representations, brand identity can also translate through other senses like smell or sound, etc. 

Branding comprises everything from communication and advertising to the product and services themselves. Often, branding depends on a set of recurring elements, such as a logo, signature, color palette, typography, style of photography or video, which sets the tone for targeted customers.  

At Meaningful, we create digital products and services with branding in mind. Uncovering and telling a brand’s story is pivotal to our process. For each project (and especially for digital products), we focus on creating an original visual language that conveys the brand values and purpose.
