Based on our initial Strategy Session, six key brand attributes were determined to help develop the positioning and identity for HOMexp.
The key brand attributes are summed up into two words to develop the HOMexp brand identity. This identity acts as the guide for the brand’s direction.
“Frequency” is a word that continued to come up during our Strategy session. There were three core references for using the word in our messaging:
Using the word “frequency” in conjunction with the positioning of Alignment Flourishing, the tagline was presented:
Two audience profiles were developed to put a face, name, and personality to whom we are targeting with our design efforts.
The Current Audience Profile is based on currently targeted clients. The Future Audience Profile is based on future targeted clients.
The following Stylescapes and color palettes were developed for the Audience Profiles.
The Secondary Profile Stylescape was ultimately selected as the visual direction with a color combination that indicates safety and comfort while also representing feminine strength.
When developing the logo, something representative of “frequency” needed to be included due to our tagline and identity. A radio signal symbol within the O character was incorporated.
The “exp” of the name was shifted upward to allude to an uplifting, empowering experience when engaging with the HOMexp brand.
The shape of a house was built in the negative space between the E and X characters to symbolize the safe and home-like nature of the experience.
The Brand Film for HOMexp was developed to attract their target audience with the essence of spoken word and a calming, enticing vibe.
The visual combines live footage from their first three events with stock video. The two organizers were interviewed separately and their responses were spliced together to produce one cohesive message.
"Understanding the direction of my idea and the audience was feeling unattainable. I tend to have ideas with a broad vision, but Cater Verse supported the details which was very supportive for an upstart like myself. They felt reliable, and I felt heard. Now, I’m able to keep with the narrative and stick to the details of the vision."
