Our Branding Process.

Are you tired of your school brand not reflecting the amazing qualities of your institution? 

If your answer is yes – it might be time for a rebrand! Whether it’s a refresh or a complete overhaul we can help.  Whilst it may seem daunting, we love crafting school brands that truly capture the essence of your school. With our help, you can ensure consistency across all touchpoints of your school brand.

Our branding process has 3 stages: Discover (research & analysis), Ignite (define your brand story), and Launch (apply insights to create 3 design concepts that reflect your school identity and communicate brand positioning).

Discover.

Stage 1. The first stage of our three-part process for developing your brand identity is the discovery phase. Here, we’ll delve into researching, analysing, and exploring your school’s brand identity.

At this stage you can expect...

We’ll dive headfirst into your world to truly grasp your school’s unique brand story. Armed with this knowledge, we’ll craft a visual identity that powerfully communicates your story and positions you perfectly in the marketplace. We’ll leave no stone unturned in understanding your challenges, stakeholders, and expectations for your new school brand.

 

  • Initial kickoff meeting. We will identify pain points in your current brand and define your ideal school brand.
  • Competitor research. We will discover what sets your school/trust apart from others through competitor research.
  • Research into your school/trust. Gain a comprehensive understanding of what makes your school/trust unique and successful.

Ignite.

Stage 2: In the ignite phase, we’ll work on crafting your distinctive brand narrative. Our goal is to help you articulate your ethos and ensure that your vision and values are visually communicated throughout all design decisions.

At this stage you can expect...
  • Create your brand story
  • Define your vision and values
  • Define your key USPs. What makes your school/trust different?

Launch.

Stage 3: During the launch phase, we will apply the knowledge and information we have obtained about your school through the design process. We will design three concepts that are reflective of your brand. 

At this stage you can expect...

Our approach to school branding is about diving deep, not assuming. We want to get to know you, your challenges, aspirations, and unique identity to create an authentic brand. We’ll present three design concepts, show how they’ll work across all touchpoints, and deliver the chosen design in multiple file formats for you to use.

 

  • We will propose three brand identity concepts.
  • We will develop your chosen concept in consultation with you.
  • We will then create the final artwork.
  • We’ll then be on hand to help you continuously develop your school brand.

Increased requests for places...

From our initial conversation to our final design, Brands 4 Schools guided us through the process and offered expert advice. We were delighted with the end designs and have already seen an increase in parents requesting places at our new Forest Pre-School. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again!

Successfully developing a brand...

We’ve worked closely with the team at Brands 4 Schools on refreshing the school’s identity. They successfully developed the overall brand to have a modern feel whilst giving a nod to the heritage of our school. We are delighted with the coherent and consistent suite of marketing materials that Brands 4 Schools have designed that reflect the core values of our school.

Turning ideas into reality...

We worked with Brands 4 Schools to produce our first handbook for attendees of our training on child sexual exploitation. They were able to turn our ideas into an attractive and professional publication that we are now so proud of. The designer was able to pull the product together very quickly and we were able to work together on the finer details of the design until it matched perfectly with what we had in mind. We’re very pleased with the results. We’d definitely want to work with them again!
