[02] The business first

A distinctive brand starts with the right business decisions.

A distinctive brand starts with the right business decisions.

Before designing a logo, we clarify the position the business can own, the audiences that matter and the ideas the identity must make visible.

That foundation shapes the name, message hierarchy, creative direction and visual system, so every touchpoint expresses the same clear and credible idea.

We recently worked with Dave and his team for a full website re-design. The end result is fantastic: professional, clean, and exactly what we needed to move the business forward.

Dave is an absolute pleasure to work with and we are absolutely delighted with the website delivered. Excellent advice and creative guidance along with fantastic communication and quick turnaround. I would highly recommend Brainstorm for your upcoming site design.

We have been working with Brainstorm for the last number of years and couldn't recommend them enough. Dave worked with us on a new brand re-design... which has greatly boosted our website traffic, performance, and overall user experience. Their reporting system is top class.

[09] Fit and answers

Is Brainstorm the right fit for your brand project?

Is Brainstorm the right fit for your brand project?

Best suited to established Irish organisations with a proven offer, an engaged decision-maker and a clear reason to reposition, rename or rebuild the identity system.

What does a branding engagement include?

Scope is built around the decisions and applications the business needs: positioning, naming where required, identity design, guidelines, templates and rollout support.

Do you work with businesses across Ireland?

Yes. Strategy workshops, presentations and approvals are structured for focused collaboration with teams across Ireland, whether sessions are in person or remote.

Can you evolve an existing logo rather than replace it?

Yes. We first assess what still has recognition or value. The right answer may be refinement, a broader identity system or a more fundamental change.

Will we work directly with the senior team?

Yes. Dave Curtin leads strategy and creative direction and remains involved through design, refinement and rollout, bringing in senior specialists where the work requires it.

Can the new identity extend to our website?

Yes. The identity system can be designed alongside a new website or prepared for a later digital rollout, with clear rules for type, colour, imagery and interface use.

What will our team receive at the end?

You receive production-ready logo files, a documented visual system and the agreed templates or rollout assets, with practical handover for internal teams and suppliers.

What happens after we enquire?

Dave reviews every enquiry personally. If the brief looks like a strong fit, the next step is a focused call to understand the change, stakeholders, timing and applications the identity must support.
