We Could Be Heroes

Challenge

Annie was ready to build her own copywriting business and to move beyond freelancing. To do this, she needed a new brand identity that expressed the purpose and drive she had.

As a brand agency our task was to help Annie work through pros and cons of whether her business should be named after her or have a name that reflected her mission. We discussed the long-term strategy and ambition. Our main task was to create a brand identity was true to Annie but helped her stand out among a sea of copywriters. Annie also required support writing her brand narrative and messaging, it may sound ironic but it was a case of the cobblers shoes.

Naming

After some discussion and debate We Could Be Heroes was born. A bold new name that Annie conceived and backed through her vision to empower women and their voice through writing for them. Writing what they wanted to say, how they wanted to say it and what they wanted to represent.

Annie’s idea was to help express the hero in each of us.

Brand voice

After the name was established it begged the question: ‘Who are these heroes?’.  What are they trying to achieve? So we developed the concept to beyond the idea of stereotypical hero.

We wrote a brand narrative that painted a picture of the everyday hero, Annie helps. The language we developed tapped into the idea of an entrepreneurial female business owner going about their work in different ways. Each with a voice of potential. This was our inspiration for the tone of voice and messaging elements.

Launch

As part of the launch we helped Annie with her social media and business card design. Alongside creative direction across her sales materials and website. The best thing about the branding is that Annie has been able to implement a lot of it herself, which demonstrates the ease and flexibility of using it.
