Hello.
I’m Vince Bridgman, branding designer, brand strategist, and creative all-rounder.
I add value by using creativity and clear thinking to make businesses look as good on the outside as they are on the inside.
Services
Effectively I’m a one-person branding and design agency; able to deliver every aspect of a design project, from helping to formulate the brief, through to creating individual assets:
-
Brand strategy & positioning
I can help to define your organisation’s mission and values, and create an intelligent, achievable plan for delivering it through effective branding.
-
Visual brand identity
Design concept, imagery, colours and typography; I create the foundational elements that accurately communicate what your business is about – and deliver your brand strategy.
-
Company and product naming
I’ve worked on many business naming and re-naming projects, and developed brand names for hundreds of startup ventures. So I can tackle any naming challenge.
-
Brand guidelines manual
A concise ‘handbook’ – to be used by marketeers, creatives and other suppliers – that ensures your visual branding is consistent across all media.
-
Website design and build
Using popular platforms like SquareSpace and Shopify, I can create a website that communicates your brand effectively, and meets your commercial objectives.
-
Non-digital assets
Although we live in a digital age, many companies still need actual, physical things like signage, stationery, or other printed collateral. I can design and create these too.
What I offer
-
Experience: 30 years as creative director and designer
-
Focus: 20 years across branding design and strategy
-
Breadth: hundreds of client projects across multiple industries
-
Versatility: hands-on creative, from strategy to concept to delivery
