Brand Strategy & Initial Research
We first kicked off with a brand workshop & immersion into who our users were. At this time, the company was called Nextstep, which was difficult to find on Google. We did qualitative user research using visual stimuli of three seperate brands, positioning, & pricing. After research I put together archetypes & an overall strategy deck. This helped us discover NextStep's identity, who our product helps, why they would buy, and how we solve that need.
Three directions we showed people in our first research session. Each direction had a distinct personality, positioning, and pricing to help narrow down what people wanted from a career coaching service.

1. I need help finding a new job
2. I need help finding a new career
3. I need help with a promotion
4. I'm a business & need assistance

Brand Identity
With our research & strategy nailed, we were ready to move into actually designing out the brand. This included everything from the logo, to naming, to colors, illustrations & typography.
Branding Considerations
When rebranding a pre-seed company, I like to start with the outcome. Where will this brand live initially? How can we design the most effective brand touchpoints? In this case, our touchpoints included:
- New Website
- Onboarding Quiz
- Instagram Spread
- Pitch Deck
Brand Identity
When defining a brand identity, I work through different moodboards, logo iterations, typography options, and photography. In Allsprings case, I worked towards a brand that was friendly yet also felt professional.
