BRAND TO BUILDING™

A signature process by Emilio Barbero

As an entrepreneur or business owner, you’ve probably worked with graphic designers, web designers, interior designers, contractors, account managers, business coaches, and branding experts.  

That’s a lot of hands touching your brand. And a lot of people for you to manage.  

Brand To Building™ is the better way.

BACKROADS

BREWS + SHOES

After getting to know Emily and Aaron, I gathered all the requirements for their innovative business concept, which combined a specialized shoe store with a beer-tap bar. Collaborating on the store's interior layout and delving into branding and graphic identity, we jointly created a symbol representing runners enjoying a refreshing beer after their runs.

Strategically located in the West5 development on Oxford St. W en route to Kilworth, it became apparent that Backroads was the sole beverage establishment for quite a distance. Recognizing this opportunity, I proposed to Emily and Aaron that they invest in a coffee machine and open earlier than initially planned. This decision was a success, and they now operate a delightful licensed store that offers running shoes and gear, serves coffee, and has become a popular local hangout. As a result, they've broadened their customer base and positively impacted their community line.

Peter Cuddy and Helen Ready approached me to discuss their business idea.

I developed a name and tagline—"Trace your food"—to kickstart the branding journey. We focused on creating a fresh, healthy, and wholesome identity, crafting a logo called "fruitsee" that blends "fruit" and "seed." We expanded the concept to include freshly made smoothies with added nutrition supplements and grains.

Once the branding strategy was set, I designed uniforms and marketing materials tailored to their target audience. When Peter and Helen secured a physical location, we extended the brand's look and feel throughout the space, including signage and interior design.

I continued supporting their brand by managing their social media accounts and producing marketing collateral like business cards, posters, and outdoor flags that aligned with their brand identity.
