Brand Strategy

Every successful brand needs a strong idea behind it. We look at your business, audience, competition and goals to find the opportunities that can set you apart. The objective isn’t to be different simply for the sake of being different. It’s to find an authentic position that gives a person a reason to notice, remember and choose your business.

Naming & Positioning

A great name can immediately change the way people see a business, product or development. It needs to be memorable, appropriate, ownable and flexible enough to grow with the brand. Naming and positioning work together to establish where the brand fits, what makes it different and the story you want people to remember.

Graphic Design Services in Vancouver

Not every client needs a new brand. Sometimes you simply need great design. Emphasize provides graphic design services in Vancouver for businesses that need everything from a single communication piece to ongoing creative support. We work across print, digital and physical environments to creat communications that are clear, engaging and connected to the brand behind them.

Print & Marketing Communications

Brochures, reports, presentations, stationery, sales materials, direct mail and other printed communications all provide an opportunity to reinforce your brand. We combine typography, imagery and information design to make the message clear, the content easier to navigate and the finished piece worth paying attention to.

Good advertising starts with a good idea. We develop creative concepts and carry them across print advertising, digital campaigns, email marketing, social media, display graphics and other channels. Different formats, different audiences, once clear creative direction.

Web Design

A website is often one of the most important expressions of a brand. We combine clear navigation, thoughtful content, responsive design and strong visual communication to create websites that are intuitive, engaging and unmistakably connected to the business behind them.

Environmental & Experiential Design

Sometimes the brand needs to get off the page and into the real world. We design signage, wayfinding, display graphics, real estate sales centres, trade show environments, hoarding and branded spaces that extend the identity into the physical environment and create a more complete brand experience.
