CASE STUDY

DESIGN AND STRATEGIC MARKETING WORKING TOGETHER

I've been working with Dean since 2018 when we met at one of my Marketing Masterclass workshops. I knew Dean was a graphic designer who I could recommend to my clients with confidence.

The Marketing Spaces logo with colourful brush-stroke symbol, created as part of a collaborative branding project.

A designer I can trust

A bonus was he was fairly local, so could attend client meetings if needed. Whilst meeting in person isn't essential, it is very helpful for certain projects.

After looking at his website and being impressed with the range of work, I asked Dean to quote on a strategic marketing project for a client, which required design and branding.

I put my client in touch with Dean, so they could see for themselves that he was a good fit. They agreed he was the right designer for their needs. 

Since then, I have recommended Dean to many of my clients, and they have all been pleased with the quality and effectiveness of his design work. 

Having Dean as a design partner has helped me build up strong brand positioning for KMS Marketing as it means I remain focused on providing strategic marketing to my clients and am confident in recommending him as the graphic designer for the creative.

Insight Delivered business cards using the new logo, dark blue digital imagery and the line ‘better decisions, faster’.

Strong branding means solid foundations

As a strategic marketer, I always provide a clear brief for a designer, but there are times when, for whatever reason, a brief is not available.

Dean can take a vague idea and interpret it into visuals that, either look exactly like what is needed or at least provide a client with a starting point for discussion. This is invaluable for moving design projects forward.

When it came to starting my own new business, Dean was the natural choice for designing the branding. 

The branding Dean created for The Marketing Spaces gave us a strong foundation from which to build our brand image and position ourselves in the marketplace. 

My clients are happy and continue to use Dean as their graphic designer. I am happy and use him in my business and I recommend him again… and again… and again… !
