Sometimes the title says it all.

I first read Do the F*cking Work during lockdown, and recently picked it up again.

It’s a refreshingly straightforward reminder that ideas are the easy bit. Whether you’re building a business, developing a brand or trying to make something happen, eventually you have to stop thinking about it and actually do the work.

That certainly resonates with me at the moment.

There’s always another idea to explore, another conversation to have and another opportunity to create - but none of it gets very far without putting the work in.

Sometimes you just need the reminder.

Do the f*cking work.

Are you setting up with a DIY logo?

When starting a business, it’s tempting to create a logo yourself, build a website and get going.

But what comes before the logo?

Who are you trying to reach? What makes you different? How do you want your business to look, sound and feel?

Get that thinking right and your logo, tone of voice, website and marketing can all work together to create the right impression from the start.

Investing in your brand early doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. It’s about getting the foundations right now, rather than paying to rethink them later.

Don’t feel intimidated about approaching a creative professional either. A conversation costs nothing, and you might be surprised by what can be achieved within your budget.

A logo is part of your brand. It isn’t the starting point.

Would you go DIY with your logo?

Think about the brands you know well.

Sometimes you know who they are before you’ve even seen the logo.

It could be the colours, photography, language or simply the way they communicate. There’s something familiar that immediately connects it to the brand.

That doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built over time by reinforcing what makes a brand distinctive.

But familiarity doesn’t mean being predictable. Brands can evolve and do something new while still feeling unmistakably like themselves.

And that’s when branding really starts to work - when people already have a sense of who you are and what you stand for.

Would someone know it was your brand before they saw your name?

A brand isn't experienced in just one place.

Your website, social media, emails, proposals, conversations - even the way you answer the phone - are all brand touchpoints.

Every place or moment where someone comes into contact with your business.

And each one is an opportunity to reinforce the same brand.

The same visual identity.
The same tone of voice.
The same personality and values.

When those experiences feel connected, your brand becomes more recognisable – helping to build familiarity, confidence and trust.

How consistent is the experience your brand gives people?

One of the most interesting parts of a recent project wasn’t designing the website - it was making sure the business sounded the same online as it does in real life.

The words on a website should reflect the experience people have when they pick up the phone, arrange a meeting or become a client.

When your messaging is consistent, people know what to expect. That builds trust, confidence and stronger relationships.

Your brand isn’t just about how it looks - it’s about creating a consistent experience every time someone interacts with your business.

Does your business sound like the people behind it? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Your brand has a voice.

It’s not just about how your business looks - it’s about how it sounds.

A consistent tone of voice helps build trust, recognition and stronger customer relationships.

Is your brand saying the right things?

A logo helps people recognise you.

A brand is what people remember.

It’s the feeling people get from your website, your words, your photography, your customer experience and every interaction they have with your business.

I’m working on a project at the moment that’s been a great reminder that the strongest brands are built on much more than good design.

✨ Your brand is the experience people remember.
