When your brand is clear, everything else moves faster.
Every strong brand begins with clarity.
We start by understanding your audience, your story, your personality, and your product / service. When these align, your brand becomes unmistakable.
From there, we build the strategy, messaging, and visual identity that express who you are with confidence and consistency. The result is a premium, cohesive brand that resonates deeply and performs across every touchpoint.

"First, I’ll share a confession… After a decade as an advertising creative director leading some of the world’s coolest brands, I’m hard to impress. I've worked with numerous designers & branding experts in the past who failed to deliver what they promised. Yet working with Denny and the Rayvn team has been an absolute delight. Denny is an attentive listener, fiercely responsive, and savvy with fickle digital marketing trends. Our teams worked closely to transform ideas into a gorgeous portfolio of images and digital content, for social media and presentations. We're thrilled with the results!”

Here's our branding & design process ...
Step 1:
Discovery
This is a 2 hour deep-dive interview where we will get to know everything about your business - where you are, where you've been, and where you want to go. Our branding company will ask you a series of questions where we will get to know all about your customers, your competitors, your industry niche, and your long term goals for your business.
Step 2:
Direction
We will then take 2 weeks to go through all the material that we've gathered in Step 1. We will do our own research, and validate our findings. We will then get back to you with a brand strategy to attain your business goals. This direction will include a unique brand positioning, brand story, ideal buyer persona, competitive landscape analysis, and 3 look and feel mood-board options that your business needs to appeal to your ideal audience.
Step 3:
Design
Once you pick a mood board direction, we will create 3 logo design & visual identity options that appeal to your ideal audience. On finalizing the this, we will put together a brand guide, that shows the logo variations, primary & secondary typeface, color palette, and marketing collateral mockups. We will then commence with the design & development of the website, social media content templates, and other marketing materials.
We are a minority-owned design agency. Our small team of brand strategists, designers, developers, content creators, and social media experts are really good at taking complicated problems and distilling it into simple and logical solutions, that reflects the uniqueness of your business.
