🙌 This month - we’re talking about branding!

This edition was in fact inspired by the revitalization session we’ve had here at Pink Orange. (If you haven’t checked out our new website you definitely should!) You’ll probably already know what I will say if you've been paying attention. If not, that’s fine too, I am here to help after all.

So - branding. It’s not just your logo and a really cool combination of colors. It’s your identity. Your story. What sets you apart from the rest. ( And in the education industry, where the competition is fierce, having a strong brand is crucial to success). No pressure right?

Whether you’re starting from scratch, or going through the motions of a rebrand - building a brand is a process, and it’s one that you will learn to embrace, and trust.

Why would we choose such a broad topic, you might ask? 🤔

😏 Well. As I said, it was… inspired.

We recently went through a rebrand, and it was a challenging but ultimately rewarding experience. We knew we needed to evolve our brand to better reflect our growth and values, but we also didn't want to lose the essence of what made us Pink Orange.

We spent months researching and brainstorming, working with our designers and brand strategists to develop a new visual identity, messaging, and brand guidelines. It was a lot of hard work, but we knew it was worth it to create a brand that truly reflected who we are and where we're headed.

The result? A fresh new look and feel that embodies our creativity, innovation, and dedication to our clients. We're proud of our new brand, but we also recognize that a brand is more than just a logo and some colors. It's about the relationships we build with our clients and the impact we make in the education marketing industry.

But stories aside, let’s dive in!

This is what you can expect from this month’s edition of (Ed)vertise:
