DISCOVER YOUR STORY.

Why did you REALLY start your business?

Not what you sell.
Not the services you offer.
Not even the money.

I’m talking about the real reason.

The story behind the decision. The ambition, the experience, the passion or perhaps even the moment that changed everything.

This is the first question I’ve pulled from my very own Claire Louise Branding Story Cards.

I created these cards to encourage business owners to think differently about their brands, to dig a little deeper and discover what makes them truly distinctive.

Because after more than 25 years in the creative industry, one thing I know for certain is that great branding doesn’t begin with a logo.

It begins with YOU.

That’s why my process starts with:

DISCOVER YOUR STORY.
SHAPE YOUR BRAND.
BRING IT TO LIFE.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing questions from my Story Cards to get you thinking about your own brand.

And I’d love you to join in.

So, let’s start with card number one…

Why did you REALLY start your business?

I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Every unforgettable brand begins with a story.

A quick brand tip for you today. ❤️

If I covered up your logo, would people still know it was your brand?

Your brand shouldn’t rely on your logo alone.

Think about your:

• Colours
• Typography
• Photography
• Graphics
• Tone of voice
• Personality
• The little details you repeat consistently

For Claire Louise Branding, you’ll probably recognise the red, black, leopard print and lips before you even see my logo.

That’s the goal.

You don’t need to be louder.

You need to be more recognisable.

This is one of the things I get you thinking about inside my free Build Your Brand Playbook.

I’ve had lots of new friends, followers and connections recently, especially after an incredible few days at PeakeFest, so I thought it was time I properly introduced myself. ❤️

I’m Claire, Founder and Creative Director of Claire Louise Branding, with over 25 years’ experience in branding and design.

I’m also the Creative Director and designer behind the PeakeFest 2025 & 2026 brand.

And yes… the zebra was my idea. 🦓😂

If you came over to my stand at PeakeFest, you may have spotted The Brand Edit and lots of you entered my competition to win one.

👀 I’ll be announcing the winner tomorrow, Monday!

So, what actually is The Brand Edit?

Your business. Your brand. My eyes on it.

I take an expert look at your brand as a whole, your story, positioning and messaging, visual identity, website, social presence and how everything comes together.

I’m looking at what’s working, what needs refining, what’s missing and where there may be a disconnect between the business you’ve built and the brand you’re putting out into the world.

You’ll receive my personalised recommendations, your Brand Edit report and a private 1:1 call with me to talk it all through.

And to celebrate PeakeFest, I’m keeping my special PeakeFest price of £297 instead of £497 open until Friday.

That’s £200 off.

Use code PEAKE297 at checkout. ❤️

If your business has grown but you’re not sure your brand has grown with it, this is where we start.

Your business. Your brand. My eyes on it. 👀

I’ve come home from PEAKEFEST absolutely buzzing. ❤️
Nicola Peake, thank you for trusting me once again and giving me the freedom to bring my creativity to life and for letting me bring the boys along too. 🫶🏻

This year felt different.

My first sponsored table. Four businesses joining me through my competition. My first ever workshop. And zebra print everywhere, even on the toilet roll. 😂

Thank you to everyone who told me how much you loved the branding and my work. Every comment, compliment and conversation meant so much. ❤️

But the moments that meant the most were hearing my daughters say, “I’m proud of you, Mum,” and having my partner and his nephews there to be part of it.

In my workshop I shared that I started my business with just £1 in my bank account.

Standing there this week, I realised just how far I’ve come.

Now I want to help more businesses discover their story, shape their brand and bring it to life.

Because we all deserve to be seen.

Next year? The PEAKEFEST main stage, with my family watching proudly. ❤️

Discover your story. Shape your brand. Bring it to life.

Day 1 of PEAKEFEST 2026 ❤️🐆

There is nothing quite like walking into an event and seeing months of designs that have been sitting on your screen suddenly come to life.

The stage, the signage, the stands, the little details… seeing people actually experiencing the brand is the BEST feeling.

And this year feels even more special.

Not only have I had the pleasure of creating the branding and designs for PEAKEFEST 2026, I’ve got my own Claire Louise Branding stand, my first sponsored table AND today I delivered my first ever workshop! 🎤🥳

And we’re only on Day 1…

Bring on the rest of PEAKEFEST! ❤️

Behind every event is a team of people making hundreds of decisions that nobody ever sees.

I can’t wait to see PEAKEFEST 2026 come to life. 🦓

Yesterday was one of those behind-the-scenes days, joining Nicola and her team for a venue walkthrough. We met with the hotel events team and the AV team, talking through stage layouts, branding, creative ideas and all the finer details that will help make this year’s event an unforgettable experience.

Afterwards, I sat down with Nicola for a 1-1 to talk about my own business, my vision and where I’m heading next.

I’m incredibly grateful to once again be the Creative Director and Brand Designer for PEAKEFEST 2026. Being trusted for a second year to help bring Nicola’s vision to life is something I’ll never take for granted.

September can’t come soon enough… I can’t wait for you to experience everything we’ve been working on. 🤩🦓

Do you remember having a pen friend? 💌

When I was a young girl, I met another girl while on holiday in Cornwall with my mum and dad.

She was from Sheffield, and when the holiday ended, we became pen friends. Although we lived miles apart, we wrote to each other for years and years through handwritten letters.

Every envelope told a story.
Every letter helped us get to know each other a little more.

It made me think…

Long before social media, websites and AI, we built connections through stories.

We shared where we were from, what we loved, what was happening in our lives and what we dreamed about.

That’s exactly what branding is.

People might notice your logo…

But it’s your story they’ll remember.

So let me ask you…

Where did your story begin?

I’d love to hear it. ❤️
