    BRAND REFRESH: We loved working with @huntermarket BRAND REFRESH: We loved working with @huntermarketing.co to refresh the @createagain brand. Jen loved her previous logo and what the Phoenix represented but decided it was time for a refresh. We took her original ideas and adapted them so her brand became more aligned with how she wanted to be seen. We also included a mini style-guide for her to help keep her brand strong and consistent. We like to call this a mini brand refresh which we know will have big impacts for her business. What Jen had to say: "We love our Logo and what the Phoenix represents. But it was time for a refresh and we believe that the result is nothing short of amazing. Thank you so much @minodesignstudio for supporting our vision and bringing it to life. You absolutely nailed it and we are proud to be sharing the results with our clients present and future. Thank you also to @huntermarketing.co for your continuous support and believing in us." If you're ready for a brand refresh please get in contact with us. We'd love to take your brand to new heights. Sarah and the team 😊
    One of the big reasons why we love working with Ma One of the big reasons why we love working with Marketing Managers is the genuine and supportive relationships we build with them that span over many years. We started working with Quay Shipping back in 2014 and we still maintain their brand on a monthly basis. It's been such a pleasure working alongside the Quay Shipping team for the last six years and we look forward to continuing to support their business in any way we can.
    WEBSITE REFRESH: We love working with marketing ma WEBSITE REFRESH: We love working with marketing managers because we understand the importance of having a marketing strategy in place before starting the design process of a website.⠀ ⠀ We worked on the Transcoal website with our wonderful client @huntermarketing.co who had already developed a tailored marketing strategy and an execution plan that provided direction and business growth, as well as key messaging that effectively targeted their ideal customer.⠀ ⠀ This allowed us to create a well designed and optimised website that positions the brand as a credible and trusted business. The outcome is a very happy client, that now has a modern and fresh website that has advanced the position of the TransCoal brand in the market. They also have a detailed and easy-to-follow marketing plan that they can always refer back to when they need direction.

    ANNUAL REPORTS: With annual reports the focus for ANNUAL REPORTS: With annual reports the focus for some marketing managers at the moment, I thought I would remind our marketing manager community that annual reports don't have to be boring!⠀ ⠀ Like most audiences, your readers are more likely to retain information presented visually. They don't want to be reading long blocks of text, page after page, they will simply switch off and get bored. Here a few tips to help grab the attention of your audience:⠀ ⠀ 1. Have a branded business photo shoot so you have stunning images to use on the cover and inside spreads.⠀ 2. Highlight compelling statistics and data points throughout. ⠀ 3. Emphasise these with data visualisations such as interesting icons, illustrations, and infographics.⠀ 4. Use bold text for headings and your brand colours throughout to catch their eye.⠀ ⠀ If you need to add a WOW factor to your annual reports this season, please get in touch with us.

    CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: At Mino Design & CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: At Mino Design & Digital there are some causes very close to our heart and that we wanted to focus on helping this year. One of them is the environment, so when we had the opportunity to support the wonderful people at Yeronga Bushcare who needed an upgrade of their brand we jumped at it. ⠀ ⠀ The Bush Care program is actively supported by Brisbane City Council (BCC) Habitat. We volunteered our time to rebrand them, create a presence on social media, and flyers to promote their working bees. We incorporated the Mangrove as a feature in the logo as they play a very important role in helping with Climate Change thanks to their ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide, they also help prevent erosion of the riverbed.

    WEBSITE REFRESH: Since COVID has hit, businesses h WEBSITE REFRESH: Since COVID has hit, businesses have become more aware of the importance of having a strong online presence. We have completed four awesome website refreshes in the last two months and one of them was for the wonderful Dorelle Thompson from Wellness Nutrition Solutions. Dorelle came to us feeling overwhelmed as to how to move forward with her website because of the below reasons:⠀ ⠀ 1. The website was over four years old and things in the backend were very messy as the site had not been maintained properly.⠀ 2. The website no longer aligned with her current offerings.⠀ 3. She had stopped receiving any leads from the website.⠀ 4. The website was no longer mobile friendly. ⠀ We encouraged Dorelle to replace the generic stock imagery and get a professional photoshoot. We put her on a payment plan and built her a brand new site promoting all of her fantastic new offerings. The next recommendation was for her to invest in getting a digital marketing strategy developed because as we all know, the concept of “If you build it, they will come” does not apply to websites. We then put her on a care plan to make sure the site is always maintained and operating at its best.⠀ ⠀ Dorelle has since paid off her payment plan early because of the number of sales leads she has been receiving. What an incredible outcome for her business. ⠀ ⠀ Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how we can effectively refresh your website so customers come calling again.⠀ ⠀ Photography by @tomovision
    Hearing that my clients are extremely happy with t Hearing that my clients are extremely happy with the end result absolutely makes my day.⠀ ⠀ Working with Louise throughout the entire branding process was so much fun and it's great to know that Mino Design & Digital Studio has made a positive impact on Louise's business and how she works. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you so much for the kind words, Louise. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #branding #clienttestimonial #smallbusiness #brandinganddesign #design #designagency #designagencybrisbane #designstudio #marketingmangers #businessowners #cientlove #clientfeedback #positivefeedback
