This fee includes our in-house brand, strategy and design experts working dedicated on your project. We’ve calculated this is the amount that allows us to provide all of our clients with a consistently high standard of work with the best business outcomes while ensuring great ROI. Our projects are billed in phases so you can spread the cost over the period of the project.

What do brand identity services include?

Our brand identity service includes a number of things. To start, it comes as part of a wider, holistic service. You can’t build a brand identity without first addressing your brand strategy. However, the team at &above communicates brand identity as the ‘design phase’, where we curate a concept for your business’ personality through values, visual identity, and messaging frameworks. Our comprehensive brand identity service covers every touchpoint of your brand presence.

What is the brand identity?

Brand identity is the visual and narrative components of a business’ brand. At &above, we specialise in enhancing existing or creating new brand identities as part of a wider service. We craft everything from messaging strategies to logos, iconography, and design templates—ensuring a cohesive and impactful brand presence.

What are the 4 elements of brand identity?

Here are four elements of brand identity you should expect from an agency: first, brand identity should come as part of a wider service, built on an initial strategy session to establish your goals; second, the creation of visuals and assets that represent your brand across every touchpoint; third, messaging frameworks that align your values with your visuals; and finally, clear design guidelines and templates to ensure your team can create cohesive content that always aligns with your brand identity.

Why is brand identity so important?

A cohesive and compelling brand identity establishes credibility, amplifies recognition, and fosters trust. This level of in-depth curation requires experience and skill to tailor your approach to your audience’s needs. A brand agency should support you through this process while leading where necessary. Our expertise as a brand identity agency in London helps guide your business to ensure your investment delivers long-term value and meaningful audience impact.

How to improve brand identity?

To improve brand identity, it’s important to understand that it isn’t just about aesthetics. A strong brand identity defines who your company is and sets expectations for your product or service. To align your brand identity with your business goals, it should be built on a clear brand strategy that informs every creative decision.

How much does it cost to do a brand identity project? 

The cost of a brand identity project can vary greatly depending on the scope of the brief. At &above, we see brand identity as a valuable long-term investment, which is why we offer tailored solutions. You can request a quote from our team, who will walk you through the breakdown of a brand identity project in detail.

Why should a company hire a brand identity agency?

Investing in an effective brand identity helps position your business and products ahead of the competition. It influences consumer perception and increases perceived value by communicating quality and clarity. As a specialist brand identity agency in London, we streamline this process and ensure your brand identity aligns with your company’s wider goals and long-term growth.
