Hannah Belton and Dan Belton, co owners of boutique branding agency, Ditto Creative

Specialist branding for boutique businesses

We specialise in creating branding that gets you paid, really well.

Maybe you’re a start-up business wanting to burst onto the scene and shortcut the painful growth phase with an unignorable brand. Maybe you’re running an established business and want to diversify to access new markets, drive revenue or raise your fees. In any case, we can help.

Most business owners recognise that their branding and website can help them to stand out, and support their pricing model. What most miss is that without clearly communicating their value, they are swimming in the same pool as everyone else. Still hustling, still hoping that they get chosen.

The truth is that branding alone doesn’t unlock better clients. A better proposition does.

With a proven track record in taking businesses from middle of the road to definitively high end, our specialism lies in creating brands which attract premium clients. We’ve helped start-up consultancy firms reach multimillion pound turnover, helped entrepreneurs launch brands which redefine entire categories and enabled clients to triple their average project fee.

Strategic brand positioning

Clear differentiation & strategic brand positioning: define your competitive edge

In twenty years, we’ve not met a single entrepreneur that’s not selling themselves short and leaving money on the table. Horrifying thought, isn’t it?

The crucial reframe – and our specialism – is drilling down to what your clients are actually looking for… the lifestyle they crave, or the knotty challenge that’s giving them sleepless nights. The one they’ll pay to make evaporate. Reposition your business to solve problems or achieve aspirations and the value of what you do – and what clients are willing to pay for it – grows exponentially. You can expect to increase your fees almost instantly.

High end brand identity design

Beautifully elevated visual brand development: creating an iconic visual identity

Your brand identity holds the power to shape perception, build trust and support your pricing model.

Brand identities by Ditto draw upon every detail of visual styling and language, from colour and typography to brand devices, pattern, photography style and core messages, aligning your visual presence with the quality of what you do and the experience you deliver. You can expect this to have a profound effect upon how easily you win business and command the fees your deserve.

brand language

A well designed website communicates your value, pulls enquiries through and builds your business. Back that up with a set of considered tools - proposals, brochures and a structured approach to your communications, and you’re in a whole new league. Together, we’ll design the real time application of the brand as we create a carefully engineered client journey which takes them from lead to paid-up client with ease – while opening up opportunities to drive further revenue.
