Strategy & Design

to Transform your Business Brand

 

Like many owners of small and medium sized businesses, you’re  overstretched with the day-to-day running of the business. You want to level up the business but your sales have stagnated and you know that your brand is looking tired or unprofessional. You know you NEED to do some marketing but:

  • you’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
  • you think it will be expensive
  • you struggle with ‘blowing your own trumpet’
  • you don’t know how to beat your competitors

The question is, what will it cost your business if you continue to do nothing?

The Art of Communication work with introvert businesses who don’t want to shout the loudest but want to properly engage with customers and build long-term relationships.

We’re here to provide the strategic thinking and good design that will spark those conversations.

Marketing starts

with understanding your brand

Marketing design from The Art of Communication is more than producing something that looks pretty. It’s about communication, making sense of content and creating a visual narrative for potential customers to help them navigate the information you want them to understand. It’s all about increasing your business leads through an emotional desire to WANT your product or service rather than just NEED it and positioning your offering so that you can charge its worth.

Brand Strategy is key. Without understanding your business, your offering, your values and differentials there is no clarity, messages are confused and inconsistent and often you aren’t even talking to the right audience. Your marketing seeds are falling on barren ground!

Simple, crystal clear brand thinking will create a path forward for your business. Good design based on strategy will help you stand out. It will attract and differentiate your business from your competitors by speaking quietly but resonating deeply. It will convert prospects into customers.

  • build a unique brand
  • make your business stand out over competitors
  • present a consistent visual style
  • create clear targeted messaging
  • boost recognition and trust in your potential customers
  • increase your confidence in your business offering

Why work with The Art of Communication?

Branding & graphic design Southampton

Let me introduce myself.

Hi, I’m Christine Hammacott of The Art of Communication.

Communication is at the very heart of everything I do — hence the name. It starts with LISTENING and CHALLENGING your current understanding of your business’ objectives and gaining insights into your company’s graphic design needs. Then together we turn that into a strategy for moving your business forward.

The Art of Communication has built a reputation for marketing-led innovative creativity and great customer service. The business started in 2008 although experience in the industry is way longer (just don’t ask me how long — a girl never reveals her age!) but let’s just say it’s over 20 years.

Through friendly, personal and approachable service (without fluff, jargon or marketing waffle), The Art of Communication helps organisations, businesses and entrepreneurs achieve their potential via strategic branding and powerful marketing materials. Whatever your requirement, you will get the best service and attention to detail from me.

So, if you’re looking for thoughtful and thought-provoking branding and marketing design — then look no further.

Working with Introvert Business Owners

I understand the unique challenges introvert business owners face as I’m one too. Putting yourself out there can be draining, but rest assured, your quiet confidence and thoughtful approach are assets! That’s why crafting a brand that speaks volumes without needing a megaphone is important.

Forget the forced self-promotion – your expertise and values will shine through authentic storytelling and the power of written communication! We can create blog posts, articles, or even ebooks that showcase your wisdom, attracting clients who seek your unique perspective. Leverage social media strategically, engaging in meaningful conversations and sharing valuable content instead of constant self-promotion.

Introverts can be incredibly influential. By building genuine connections and showcasing your expertise through thoughtful content, we’ll attract clients who value your depth and authenticity. Let’s create a brand that speaks quietly, but resonates deeply.

What customers say

We were keen to have a brand that was friendly yet professional and encompassed the idea of working in harmony. The logo and branding that has followed has really gone down well with suppliers and customers alike.

Working with Christine from The Art of Communication has helped me develop my business without spending money unnecessarily. Chris's understanding of production processes and how they impact on design means that the designs are always appropriate to the medium and she finds innovative ways of achieving results to fit the budget. Every company need a Chris!

"I've worked with Chris for a number of years and am delighted with her work. She has designed branding and marketing campaigns for several of my businesses, and set up web sites for me too. She has also designed personal stationary for both a wedding and a funeral. Her work is excellent, creative, great prices and with a quick turn around time. She is easy to work with and a good communicator. I totally recommend her services."

Chris has produced all my covers. My grandson and I take the photos but Chris does something to them in photoshop to bring them alive and turn them into vibrant covers.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Christine on setting up two new web sites for my company. She listened to our requirements and set up two of the best web sites we have ever had. She can accommodate change at very short notice and is full of creative ideas that have helped us immensely.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Art of Communication to any new business owner.
