Sports Branding

BRANDING

[ Sports Branding is a lot like Cattle Branding... Except not at all ]

What IS branding, anyway? Is it your logo? Is it your colors? Is it your tagline, the style of your graphics, the way you talk about yourselves in advertising, marketing and to the media? Yes. It's all of those things and more. Your brand is the feelings and emotions evoked when people hear your name. Some of that is beyond your control but most of it can be carefully crafted to help achieve your goals. We can help with that.
