Design Spotlight: “Filtered Evergreen”

Perfect for an agent who wants to impart a sense of calm and serenity to their brand, “Filtered Evergreen” does just that.  Green is considered a harmonious color – and one which has historically meant associated with safety and security.  Many “green” (eco-friendly) agents want a brand featuring green as a color, but want to […]

The Power of Branding

This week I want to talk with you about branding – what it is, and why I believe so strongly in it (and why you should too!) At its core, a brand expresses the emotional or psychological relationship you have with your clients. It’s not something concrete – it’s the experience that a client can […]

Ask Denise: Using a company’s brand

Denise Lones

Q:  Can I be successful using just my company’s brand? A:  Yes, you can.  The use of any brand (provided it’s one that is well-respected!), is a good thing.  However, when you only use your company’s brand, you’re advertising them – not you.  Having your own brand allows you to leverage you own unique traits, […]

Design Spotlight: “Community Character”

Another of the brands we’ve developed for real estate agents in the Seattle area, “Community Character” draws on iconic images to help clients immediately identify that the agent specializes in Seattle real estate. In this case, the brand features three iconic images – the Pike Place Market, Mt. Rainier, and the Space Needle – to […]

Branding … Before & After!

Because brand development is a big part of what my company does, real estate agents often ask me for my opinion on their brand. Let me tell you, I’ve seen some doozies over the years.  It’s sad to see what some agents think is an effective brand.  And it’s even sadder to learn that many […]

Q: Where do I start if I want to create my own brand? A: I’m not sure if your question is specifically that you want to get branding done … or if you want to do the design work yourself.  If you are going to do the work yourself (in other words, you are a […]

Design Spotlight: “Blue Fractal”

The dark, inky colors of “Blue Fractal” provide a quietly dramatic backdrop for your marketing … while allowing the featured topics (you … or your listings!) to take center stage.  There can be a power to simplicity, and the “Blue Fractual” brand is a good example of this. Whether you want to develop a completely […]

Design Spotlight: Sarah Mosley

Sarah Mosley has just begun coaching with our Evolve group, and she was excited to start work on her brand. Although she lives in Seattle, a city filled with iconic imagery, Sarah didn’t want a brand that was like something she’d seen before.  Our direction from Sarah was to create a clean, contemporary brand – […]

Design Spotlight: Brian Rosso

When developing his brand, Brian was very clear on his desire to have the brand speak for him – which is what all good brands do!  Brian wanted to take this one step further.  Very low-key, with a warm and approachable style, Brian wanted to ensure his brand positioned him as an approachable professional – […]

Design Spotlight: “Metallic Garden”

“Metallic Garden” features black and silver, a color combination long favored to create an impression of luxury.  This brand does exactly that, and adds an element of softness and approachability (via the swirls) into what might otherwise be a somewhat daunting image. Whether you want to develop a completely custom brand, or select from one […]
