On the Headspace’s side, the brand created a distinctive imagery to illustrate what the brand is about, to educate customers about their practices, and how to use their product.

Why does it work?

Creating tailor-made visuals for your company enhances the brand identity, which makes it more recognizable for customers, increases attention, and creates an incentive to read content and follow call-to-actions. To sum up, it generates customer engagement.

How to achieve it?

Ideate various branding concepts that highlight the visual identity of the brand, while considering the final goals of those visuals (enhancing call-to-actions, introducing a video, etc.) and understanding their destination (landing pages, videos, pop-ups, etc.). To achieve this, all designs need to be aligned with the global corporate identity and underline the actions the brand wants to highlight. Finally, all new branding assets should bring added-value to the brand and its customers and have a true purpose for the overall MarCom of the company.
