Brand identity design that helps businesses grow

For small businesses wanting to punch above their weight, investing in professional branding early on is one of the best business decisions you can make. If you get your branding right, you are giving your business the right first impression to potential customers - whether that's through looking credible, resonating with your target audience or standing out from competitors.

At Made by Simon, I create strategic brand identities for businesses across Stockport, Cheshire and Greater Manchester.

Whether you're launching a new business, repositioning your company or refreshing an outdated identity, I help create brands that communicate professionalism and credibility.

A successful brand identity includes:

Together these elements create a consistent experience across every customer touchpoint.
