The Branding Process
What is a Brand Strategy & Why do you Need One?
In order to talk about what a brand is, we need to discuss the elephant in the room:
Your logo is not your brand.
Surprised?
And you know what else isn’t a brand: your corporate identity system, colors, packaging, or even your product or service.
Wondering what your brand actually is? Well, your brand is the feeling your customers get when they think of and interact with you. That's right—your brand is something your customers get to decide.
Even though your brand is defined by your audience, there are steps you can take to help guide them. That’s where brand strategy comes in!
When developing a brand strategy, you’re isolating the “WHY” behind your business to find where your values & goals overlap with your audience’s needs.
Using that information, you can then align every other aspect of your business to support that strategy. This, in turn, influences how you approach elements like your logo, voice, messaging, and absolutely everything!

Ditch the DIY —
We’ll Tackle Your Design To-Do List for You
Even small businesses can require a significant amount of design work, and that design can require a lot of time and effort—time you could be spending on other areas of your business.
While DIY-ing can be a great starting point, once it starts taking up too much of your time or makes you want to throw your laptop across the room, it’s time to bring in the pros to tackle your design needs for you!
Collateral Design
Brochures, social media graphics, email blasts, presentations—all of these can play an important role in helping your business grow, but they all require a significant amount of time to create. When providing design support, we work with you to identify what your needs are and suggest the best approach for your goals.
Template Creation
Design templates are a great way to maintain consistency (and save time) for projects in frequently used formats! Whether it’s PowerPoint presentations, newsletters, or anything else you create on a regular basis, we can create templates that will ensure your materials look consistent—and are on-brand—each time.
Design is the silent ambassador of your brand.

Book Yourself a Personal Designer
Ever wish there were more hours in a day? Us too!
As much as we’d love to, we can’t give you more hours, but what we can do is help free up some of your day by tackling your design project list for you!
If you’re a small business or solopreneur with a long list of design tasks that keep getting pushed to the back-burner, a Design Retainer could be the perfect solution for you!
You can set up a retainer for a set number of hours to be used monthly, quarterly, or even book Type A all to yourself for an entire 8-hour workday to help you knock out your design tasks. You will have our undivided attention dedicated to your projects, and once our day is complete, you’ll receive a package of ready-to-go files in addition to a full week of email support following your designer day.
What to Expect When you Book a Designer Day
Consultation Call
Once you’ve submitted your request for a designer day, we’ll schedule a call to go over the ins & outs of how the day will work, what projects you need completed, and any other questions that might come up.
Project Planning
After our call, you’ll receive a project planning questionnaire that will be due five days before your design day, along with any relevant copy, images, log-ins, etc. that will be needed to complete your project list.
Design Day
This is when the magic will happen! Type A will be dedicated to your projects all day, and will be checking in periodically for feedback to make sure everything is heading in the right direction.
Final Files
Once all of the deliverables are approved at the end of your design day, all final files will be packaged up & sent to you the next day. You’ll have a week of email support for any questions or minor tweaks.
Retainer Packages Starting at $500
Designer days are currently only offered for companies in US time zones.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING“
Our company had a website, sales materials, and what we thought was a brand. We used Type A Creative Solutions with the intention of strengthening our marketing strategy, but we did not anticipate how impactful the results would be....In addition to all of the insights about brand, audience, and competition, we received invaluable guidance around our messaging, marketing platforms, and digital marketing strategy. Type A Creative took our company to the next level and completely redefined our marketing mindset.
