What is in a Brand?

What is in a Brand?

Posted by navitend

I have been accused of being distracted by shiny objects. 

In fact, I am reminded quite frequently on that point so much so that in our leadership team, I have to run new ideas past the team before we invest in them. Yeah, it's that bad.

However, every now and again, there are some ideas that have some legs and are worth investing in.

After the preliminary steps of financial pro-formas and technical prototypes, it becomes time to get some serious, professional help with the artwork and the "image" of the product. I've been told that I can make the car handle well and go fast, but the paint job, well, bring in the professionals!

That's where our friends at fatrabbit CREATIVE come in

The Fatrabbit CREATIVE team helped us with our branding from our official (and boring) corporate entity to what we absolutely love, navitend.

They introduced us to our awesome sheep logo and since then, we've undertaken the ambition of putting the sheep on anything that moves or is seen. Sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, COVID-19 masks, sneakers and even navitend socks. We have the sheep on our three Chevrolet vehicles from our friends at Paramus Chevrolet and my BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) is to put the sheep on a NASCAR race car one day. Still working out the budget on that one, I know.

Since then they have helped us with our online platform, encouragework.com and a couple of other projects. Stay tuned!
