Creating and nurturing impactful brands
Your brand is so much more than just a name and a logo; it’s who you are, what you stand for, and what you have to offer. It should be represented across all aspects of your business operations, from the colours on your website to the tone of voice in every tweet you send.
We’re a multi-disciplinary agency based in Nottingham and London, with over 20 years’ experience in delivering exceptional brand campaigns that nurture business growth. Hallam’s results, culture of excellence, and strategic use of creativity and technology has been rewarded and recognised time after time. We beat 35 top-performing agencies from across EMEA to be named the #1 for Growing Business Online by Google.
Backed by Hallam’s drive for success and award-winning expertise, your brand will turn heads and get results. We have the drive and passion to build successful brands, from logo design through to developing complete branding strategies.
Your business goals are always at the forefront of our brand concepts, and we’ll never try to make you something that you’re not.
You’re the expert in your business, and we’re the experts in brand strategy. Our job is to pull out the key pieces of information and your unique selling points to develop them into a memorable brand that intrigues, inspires and nurtures loyalty.
Mutual trust is the most important aspect of a successful partnership. Our branding expertise is backed by years of proven experience in growing businesses through creative and innovative messaging, but ultimately, your brand is incredibly personal to you, and we respect that.

Industry recognition
Our brand services
A successful brand strategy is made up of many diverse elements, all of which need to work in harmony to present a comprehensive view of your brand and its values. When you work with Hallam as brand agency, you get:
Brand identity
From brand naming and designing a logo to developing your core values and mission statement, we’ll help you to define every aspect of your brand. We’ll take your ideas and business goals and turn them into an identity you can be proud of.
Brand positioning
For your brand to succeed, you need to understand where it sits within your market, and present a clear, attractive offering. We’ll lay the foundations for creating a strong brand through key messaging, along with assessing your brand’s architecture to grow your value and identity to consumers.
Brand guidelines
To help you to stay on-brand in all of your messaging, we’ll create a set of in-depth brand guidelines that can be used across your company to ensure a consistent design and tone of voice across all channels.
Agile branding
It’s important that your brand is able to stay relevant, which is why we develop agile brand strategies with longevity in mind. We’ll look to the future of your business and the industry you’re in, and explore what kind of brand you’ll need to become to retain success.
Our brand strategy approach
Our approach to branding is all about ensuring that it truly works for your business. Your brand identity is completely unique and should be a true representation of who you are and what you want to achieve. We carefully consider the many distinct elements that make up your brand to ensure that it leads you to bigger and brighter things.
In-depth brand analysis
The first part of redefining your brand is getting to grips with what you already have and who you are talking to. We’ll sit down with you to discuss your existing branding, if relevant, analysing what works, what doesn’t, and what is essential to your position within the market.
Whether we are making sizable changes or smaller key adjustments, our talented and creative teams will work closely with you and any key stakeholders to ensure that you are comfortable with your new brand. We’ll bring fresh new ideas to the table, and combine this with market analysis, our experience and your in-depth knowledge of your company to create a brand that resonates.
Tailored brand journey
Your business is unique, and your brand should represent this. As such, we don’t use an off-the-shelf approach to branding. Instead, we take our decades of experience in crafting and developing brands that make waves and get results, and use this insight to inform your tailored brand journey.
Whether you’re a small start-up or a well established global brand, our full-service approach means that our agile team is able to deliver exactly what you need. By collaborating with different departments within the agency, we can select the brand strategy choices that make sense for you instead of wasting time and money on elements that you don’t need.
Branding for business growth
No matter how creative your brand strategy, we always remain grounded in delivering long-term, sustainable business growth. There’s no point having a polished brand persona if it doesn’t actually attract the customers and revenue your business needs to take the next step.
Using a strategy-based approach, we ensure that every branding decision we make is in the best interests of your business. We’re not here to jump on the latest trend, leaving you with a brand that has a very short shelf life. Each step of your brand journey is designed to create an identity that grows with your business and that you can be proud of for many years to come.
