Inspire & engage your customers with a complete brand identity
A powerful brand identity creates trust, loyalty, and recognition, setting clear expectations for your products and services. It turns a business into something people remember, relate to, and keep coming back to.
Branding is the art and science of shaping how your business is perceived by the world. It’s much more than just your business name or logo—it’s the entire ecosystem of your brand’s identity.
At its core, branding includes every element that communicates who you are, what you stand for, and why you matter. It involves crafting your visual identity, from your logo, colors, and typography, to the design of your website, packaging, and marketing materials. But it doesn’t stop there—branding also encompasses your verbal identity, like your business name, tagline, tone of voice, messaging, and the words you choose to connect with your audience.
Branding is the foundation upon which your entire business or organisation is built. By carefully developing a complete brand identity, you can clearly define your market positioning, attract the right audience, and create a distinctive and compelling experience that resonates with your customers.
A strong brand isn’t just about looking good—it’s about making informed, strategic decisions that reflect who you are and what you stand for. Every choice, from the products you offer to the way you communicate, should be rooted in your brand strategy. This strategy helps you understand not just who you are, but who your audience is, what they need, and how you can uniquely fulfill those needs.

While a brand identity starts with the logo, a complete brand identity also includes a range of other important visual and verbal brand elements. The visual elements are what determines how your brand looks and the verbal elements are what determine how your brand communicates.
Building Your Complete Brand
How we’ll develop your brand identity
Your brand identity is more than just the visual elements. These are the three core ingredients that come together to create your complete brand.
Discovery & Strategy
Your brand is your identity, so understanding you is our first priority. We begin with a discovery session or deep-dive brand intensive to delve into the essence of your business, your customers, and your services. This deep dive allows us to craft a clear, tailored strategy that guides every aspect of your branding, ensuring it truly aligns with your vision.
Verbal Identity (Messaging)
Clear, consistent messaging is as crucial to your brand as its visual elements. Your tone of voice should resonate with your target audience and reflect your brand’s personality. The words you choose define who you are, shaping how your brand is perceived and ensuring that your message consistently aligns with your identity and values.
Visual Identity (Design)
Eye-catching visuals are just the beginning! To truly stand out, your brand’s design must not only be distinctive and recognisable but also relevant and appropriate for your industry. Consistency across all digital and print media is key, ensuring that every visual element reinforces your brand identity and resonates with your audience.

Aligning your brand identity with your business goals is one of the best ways to attract customers and boost your overall performance within your market.

With an experienced team of brand strategists at your disposal, Red Kite helps you to create a comprehensive brand identity designed specifically to reach your business goals. Whether you’re a startup based on the Sunshine Coast or an established business, we know the right approach for your brand.

If you’d like to learn more about working with the best branding agency the Sunshine Coast has to offer, just get in touch!
Once you’ve submitted your enquiry, you’ll immediately gain access to our detailed packages, pricing, and additional resources to help you determine if we’re the right fit for your brand.
If you’re interested in a formal proposal, we’ll arrange an initial discovery call to better understand your business, your needs, and the ideal branding solution for you. From there, we can provide you with an accurate quote tailored to your project.
How long does a discovery interview & brand workshop last?
Our discovery sessions usually last about 30 minutes and help us get a general understanding of your business to help us develop your visual identity.
If you work with us on a complete identity package (both visual & verbal elements), then we’ll facilitate a deep-dive brand intensive with you which usually lasts anywhere between 1-3 hours.
The length of the deep-dive intensive depends on a few factors, such as how many people are in attendance or how established your brand is. We’re a friendly bunch, so we promise either way there won’t be anything to be worried about!
Do I really need branding?
Branding is a crucial element of your long-term marketing strategy. It communicates who you are, clarifies your business’s purpose, and makes you memorable in your market.
A well-crafted brand not only defines your identity and values but also helps build trust, making it easier to attract and retain customers.
On the flip side, neglecting your branding can lead to a lack of differentiation, confusion in the market, and missed opportunities to connect with your target audience—ultimately hindering your business’s growth and success.
Isn’t branding just a logo?
It takes a whole orchestra of visual and verbal elements that work together to harmonise your brand.
Your logo is just the conductor – crucial, but nothing without the whole band. It’s just there to spark recognition, not narrate your origin story or be the primary element at center of your next marketing campaign.
That’s what the rest of your brand’s symphony is for!
Your logo helps identify your brand, whereas the other visual and verbal elements that make up your brand are what inspires your audience to take action, work with you and even advocate your brand to others. See this breakdown of the brand design elements for context.
When you work with Red Kite, we’ll help you to create a complete brand identity for your business or organisation, covering everything from the visual aspects like your logo, colour palette, typography, illustrations, brand mascots and website design, all the way through to identifying your target audience, defining a tone of voice and creating a long-term brand communication strategy.
How often should I update my branding?
It’s important to assess your branding every few years to make sure it’s still in line with your services and business goals, which may change over time. Even if you still love your brand and you’re not planning to make any significant changes to your offering, your identity can start to feel out of date compared to your competitors and the ever-changing world of design.
Can you create my brand identity from scratch?
Absolutely! If you’re a startup without any existing branding to date, we can help you to define who you are and build a brand identity from the ground up. Working with new businesses is always exciting, as we get to start from a completely blank canvas.
Do you offer rebranding services?
Of course! Whether you know exactly what you’d like to change or you just think it’s time for an update, we can help you to come up with ideas that better represent your brand image as it stands now.
Do you provide copywriting services?
We offer copywriting services in two key areas:
1. Brand Messaging: As part of our Brand Master package, we help you develop a comprehensive communication strategy and craft the verbal identity elements that define your brand’s voice.
2. Website Content: When you hire us to create a new website for your brand, we develop all the content to ensure it aligns perfectly with your brand’s tone of voice and communication style.
Beyond these two areas, we do not offer standalone copywriting services.
Can you create printed materials?
In addition to our expertise in digital design and online marketing collateral, we also specialise in creating printed graphic design materials for all your offline marketing and business needs.
We have strong relationships with trusted printers, allowing us to help you source high-quality, affordable printing when required.
“Highly recommend investing in a professional service like Chris’ – worth every penny”
“After trying several designers that weren’t quite hitting the mark, I was so happy I was referred to Chris. He was the first one who took the time to pick up a call and get a solid understanding of what I was looking to achieve, communicated openly and professionally throughout the whole process and worked efficiently to get a beautiful job done in only a couple of weeks. And that’s with my slow responses as I couldn’t decide what I liked, due to everything he produced being fabulous. Not a bad problem to have lol. Highly recommend investing in a professional service like Chris’ – worth every penny.”

Chris made the whole process run smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. I really enjoyed working with Chris and would highly recommend him to others.”

“Working with Chris has been a pleasure and the results are spectacular”
“TrussCorp employed the services of RedKite to help us with a complete re-brand of all our material over the last six months. Working with Chris has been a pleasure and the results are spectacular. We could not recommend him more highly. His skill, creativity and speed are all amazing and he couldn’t be more accommodating or helpful.”
