Design to grow
A well designed brand can grow with your business, morph to fit new market opportunities, whilst always staying true to its core values. Branding work is never complete, it needs to evolve with your business as it moves through its maturity curve.
Before moving into the planning stage, take the time to find where your business is on the maturity curve and the key considerations ahead.
If your business is large, you may like to apply the maturity curve to the different business siloes.
