Why DOHO?
A Freelance Designer
Cost-effective but lacking in context
Many independent graphic designers (and companies offering cheap logo/brand visual designs) are glad to dive in and come up with brand creative concepts for you. But sometimes designers get caught up in executing a design and can’t see the long-term big picture for the business.
Great branding is more than the various visual and creative elements. A single beautiful design or execution will never create a successful brand. They fail to ask questions like “How is your company positioned among your competitors in the marketplace? Who are your ideal customers? What is the unique value of your brand? What are your long-term goals? Why are you doing this business anyway, and how is that purpose connected to your brand’s design?”
If these questions are important to you (and they should be), not just any freelance graphic designer is a good fit for your project. You and your brand may benefit from bigger-picture planning.
A Large Brand Agency
In-depth but it might not be practical
Large agencies have more resources at their disposal than an independent freelancer does. If you have branding projects that are bigger in scale, complex, and require many different skill sets, a large brand agency might be your idea partner. However, a larger budget will be required to cover an agency’s greater overhead and in general, turn-around time will be much longer.
Months of meetings about brand ethos might be overwhelming for small businesses and startups who need deliverables quickly.
In general, the more risk an organization faces if they get their branding wrong, the more likely they are to allocate a bigger budget and hire a large agency. For some businesses, this might be overkill.
DOHO
The beauty of being both strategic and practical!
We don’t position ourselves as a third-party brand agency but as your strategic partner. DOHO focuses on serving small to medium-sized businesses and startups who need strategic planning to shape their future branding. At the same time, we also believe in doing only what’s practical to get your company to the next step.
Instead of selling the same standard service/product to our various clients, we co-develop the customized brand solution based on your needs, budget and business goal in order to deliver sustainable impact to your company. We value working quickly and efficiently. We want your investment to start having an immediate impact.
