What makes Design Hero the best UK digital marketing agency?

πŸ‘Ό
Honest marketing advice

Building a strong brand, and reaching new customers isn't easy. It often requires getting out of your comfort zone and accepting hard truths about your business. But we'll always give you the right advice, rather than what you want to hear!

I'll always give you honest advice, even if you don't want to hear it!

πŸ’΅ How much should marketing cost?

Marketing and branding don’t have to break the bank: There are many marketing activities that will add value for not much investment.

It depends on what your needs are.

Do you need a simple logo for your new business idea, or a full brand with guidelines for your many employees?

That’s why Design Hero branding packages are broken down into tiers to allow you to build a brand within your budget.

For marketing activities, I can fee at an hourly rate, or with fixed fees for larger projects.

Either way, all fees will be made clear upfront and in writing.

πŸ’³ How do I pay?

All of my prices are discussed in advance and set out in writing,

Whilst a branding project can have a fixed fee, marketing usually consists of many different activities.

Either way, my design proposal will set out everything in detail,Β  and a 20% deposit secures your place in the work schedule.

I will always discuss all costs with you in advance, so there are no surprise charges, or hidden fees.

⏰ How long does marketing take?

Different marketing activities can take different timeframes to complete: Some are quick fixes and others require a slower pace

For brands, You could reveal your new business brand identity in as little as a week!

A basic logo design can be created in less than a week while more complex brands typically take a few weeks.

The timeframe depends on the scale and complexity of your branding project.

The most important part is responding quickly to any queries so make sure and do your homework on time to ensure your project runs smoothly!

πŸ’Ό What marketing services do you offer?

What services don’t I offer?!

I offer a range of marketing services from the design of brand identities to targeted marketing and social media, so I can bring all of your marketing activities under one roof!

With over 15 years of experience in the creative sector spanning architecture, product design, web design and marketing, I offer a broad skill set which other local designers struggle to match.

What is a Brand?

Maybe you have a logo;

Maybe you haven’t even thought about it.

Maybe you already have a brand? I’m going to explain what branding is. But first let me ask: Have you thought about your brand? If you don’t know what your brand is, how will your customers?

Why is marketing so important?

You might have a logo, but haven’t given it much thought. Now your business is expanding, and you want everyone to be on the same page From Brainstorming to Branding, Design Hero will design you a brand identity around the core of your business and your customers and bring focus to your marketing campaign. Stop micro-managing and focus on growing your business.

Does my business need marketing?

Good design should make money, not cost money!

You should see marketing as an investment.

Marketing activities always pay off more in the long run.

Your business might be ticking fine just now.

But if you want to grow, you’ll need to invest in marketing.

Design Hero Brand Identities

At Design Hero, my branding process gets to the heart of your business, learns it’s most important aspects and values and simplifies them into a clear, concise message that is conveyed to your customers through the logo, the colours, the typography and the photography. This all comes together to form a personality, a brand, for your business. There are six key steps to this process:

Design Hero Branding Process

1
Research

Every design begins with research. It forms the basis of every decision in the design process.

2
Brainstorm

The roughest concepts come to life on paper in graphite, ink and marker.

3
Design

Every design begins with research. It forms the basis of every decision in the design process.

4
Revise

I invite you to get more hands-on and revise aspects of the design. The output of this stage is a chosen concept.

5
Refine

The chosen concepts are taken forwards and prepared for a logopack and brand identity guidelines.

6
Present

I present the final logo in a logopack for a variety of uses, and the brand identity summarised in a nifty guide.

How much should business branding cost?

Often my clients ask me:

“How much should a logo cost?”

This question is hard to answer because firstly a logo is not a brand. And secondly:

the answer is often “how long is a piece of string?”

It depends on what your needs are for your branding. For example, a logo, font selection and colours for a small business are very different from developing a cohesive brand for a large firm with 50 employees.

It is often hard to know what you need for your branding in advance.

That’s precisely why Design Hero branding packages are broken down into tiers to allow business owners maximum flexibility when choosing the package they need.

Only need a budget logo for your starter business? Go with the bronze!

Decide halfway through that you’d like to go all-in and explore a few more options? Then simply upgrade to silver.

The beauty of this cost structure is that YOU are in total control of your budget.
