Why should I take branding seriously?

I was invited to talk at Right People Right Place at Townsquare Kingston. I wanted to demonstrate the power of branding backed up with science. We looked at the big brands and how they build in our brains, looking at tips and tricks that we can use too.

Consistency builds connections in our brain, taking us along a journey to knowing, liking and trusting. We discussed brand equity, consistency and even the placebo effect (remember the pepsi challenge?).

We also had a fun “Name the Brand” quiz and the ladies went home with lots to think about.

The fabulous .mother hosts “Right People Right Place” every 3rd Thursday of the month - if you’re a local woman in business, come along.

Don’t listen to me...

Much better to listen to what my clients have to say about working with me.

When Kish Modasia came to me to refresh her website, it quickly became clear she needed more than a new look — she needed a full rebrand and a strategic rethink of her audience and offering.

Working alongside copywriter Jude Faultless, we began with a discovery session to truly understand Kish’s business before designing a single pixel. The result? A calm, considered identity and website that reflects her expertise as a holistic wellbeing coach and works hard on a functional level too, integrating her course, newsletter and scheduling tools seamlessly.

“Claire fully captured my essence which is my brand.”
Kish Modasia, Founder, Lead Your Life.

What would it mean for your business if your brand finally felt like you?

Let’s talk about working together 🙌

If you’re ready to elevate your brand and show up with greater confidence, you’re in the right place.

Here’s how I can help:
⭐️ Brand design – Together, we’ll uncover what makes your business unique and create a bold design identity that helps you stand out and stick in people’s minds.
⭐️ Website design – Your website is your digital shop window, so it needs to represent you perfectly and give users an experience they’ll remember.
⭐️ Marketing materials – I design brochures, posters, stationery, print advertising and any exhibition or event collateral you need to make an impact.

I offer a number of branding packages for start-ups through too established businesses. See: https://www.west9design.co.uk/small-business-branding

What’s stopping you from showing up?

It’s rarely about time or ideas – it’s often mental blocks keeping you stuck. Imposter syndrome, decision fatigue, embarrassment... they’re real, but they don’t have to hold you back.

Working on your brand identity can help?
• Strong branding removes daily decisions.
• Templates speed up the process.
• Improves your consistency. That’s what makes you unforgettable.
• And best of all when your brand truly aligns with your business, you’ll feel it and want to show up with pride.

October was packed! Gorgeous autumn dog walks, inspiring events, and yes – a spot of work too.

🎙️ I attended the British Brand’s Group annual lecture with Grant Reed, former CEO of Mars Inc, who shared insights on building blockbuster brands.

🌱 I completed Green Growth programme, learning how to make small businesses greener. A highlight was Marcus Knights’ session on using AI sustainably, some tips included:
• Less words = less energy – ask for short answers
• Only use images when truly needed
• Choose greener AI model alternatives

I finished the month at the Business Expo (thanks to & ), hearing from Martin Booth, Amba Lanning, and the entertaining . Then enjoyed my daughters’ Halloween baked treats!

How was your October?

When Annie founded Hello My PA in 2015, she couldn’t have imagined how the business would transform over the next decade. As her team grew and their services evolved to become more holistic, Annie realised her business had outgrown not just its name (becoming ) but its entire visual identity.

Annie and I first connected through Freelance Heroes and had already collaborated on various client projects, building a foundation of trust that proved invaluable.

What made this process successful was the structured approach we took. From deep-dive discovery sessions to understanding her business essence, to carefully planned design phases ensuring the new look and feel truly aligned with Annie’s vision and values.

I’ll share the designs next week, but if you’re curious for a sneak peek, you can explore the complete case study on my website.
