Web design and social media marketing in Renfrew for a motivational speaker
The Brief
Graeme is a friend, neighbour, and a new client for Design Hero.
It’s rare that you get the pleasure of working with someone who’s already such a good friend.
It’s great because you’re already on the same wavelength and the whole project just seems to drive itself.
Which is useful when all your meetings have to be held from 2m separation over a fence!
We immediately hit it off when I moved into the area a couple of years ago, I’ve always admired his gift of the gab.
Graeme was a personal trainer for some years, then a salesman, now he leads his own team of salesmen.
His latest venture is a series of motivational podcast videos.
He knew exactly what he wanted to do, but needed some advice and coaching on how to use social media, develop his brand and grow his series of video podcasts.
He’s been busy starting a new video podcast promoting positivity, motivation and real-life interviews for people in lockdown across the country.
As Graeme’s podcast has grown, his personal brand has developed with it:

We helped launch "Pure GAsh", a podcast tackling hard-hitting subjects with a heavy dose of humour!
I’ve been helping Graeme with creating graphics assets, branding and advice about WordPress website plus consulting for his social media accounts,
You don’t need expensive equipment, a recording studio, or an A-class actor to start your own video blog.

Brand Identity
Graeme asked me to help him develop and grow his positivity podcast. My first suggestion was to develop his “personal brand”, and what defines him as an online personality.
To that end, I designed a logo based on a caricature of Graeme to capture his affable, over the top personality.
Social Profile Pages and Assets
I’ve helped Graeme extend his personal brand to his many social channels. The artwork exudes his over the top personality and personal presentation style.
