The Community Branding Initiative™

Better together.

 

I’m only as good as my team. So, I’m very proud to have developed The Community Branding Initiative™ a community of experienced creatives, all talented in their own right. Together, we add so much more value to a project and its outcome than independent working.

This enables me to build a bespoke agency for each and every one of my clients. It gives me the freedom to choose the best creatives to collab with me on your project. And let’s face it, these days it doesn’t matter where our team is, provided we are all working to the same cohesive brief for your project.

And, because everyone in our community is experienced in their own right, you’ll always get the best. Across a broad spectrum of creative services. With no weak areas.

Of course, as your brand consultant, I’ll always be your project lead. But with no employees, I'm free to choose the best creative talent for your industry and your project. Always from first-hand experience of working with them. The outcomes they have contributed to for my clients speak for themselves.

And work with them I do.

 

Unlike some Creative Directors, I’m still on the tools. So, it will always be myself who strategises, plans, and ideates your brand, with most other creative skillsets assigned to the best partners for your project.

You see, every individual and team within the community are people I’ve known and worked with for a number of years. This means I instinctively know the best people for your project, and I promise you it will always be those with relevant experience. It’s never, ever, a random choice.

A virtual agency.

 

Many of my creative colleagues are remote. And remote doesn’t mean removed. Because I’ll be all over your project with laser focus.

And those whose equipment and teams necessitate premises, such as printers and signwriters, run a tight ship with their operations, supply chain, and environmental policies, which are readily available.

An honest agency.

 

Honest opinions and advice are all you’ll get from me. I’ll always tell you straight-up what’s best, for you, your business, and your project. And I will never, ever, bullshit you.

Why choose Bakerbrand?

 

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what my clients say:

  • Claire did a great job for us with our brand positioning. She identified the messaging we should be focusing on for our audiences and delivered and developed our voice and straplines to great effect. Claire's very easy to work with and says it like it is! No bull!

    Mathew Smith, Marketing Manager, GM Coachwork

  • I've worked with Claire on quite a few projects, the most significant being a total brand design and development campaign. Claire worked with our team from the very initial brief right through to launch to devise a brand concept and all initial marketing materials. Not only did Claire have incredible ideas and vision for our brand, she was a great person to work with. Patient, creative and super fun! Highly recommend!

    Lisa Brammer, Head of Marketing, BLOCK

  • I’ve worked alongside Claire for a few months now on our company branding, from new brochures to online content, she is an absolute dream to work alongside. With a zero ‘faff’ approach and a straight talking stance, you’ll get the best advice on what will work well or not. No idea is too big or small that she can’t tackle. She has gone above and beyond to service our business needs, I am pleased to call on her services, and count her as an integral member by extension of our team!

    Jessica Davis, Chelsea Corporate

  • Claire's direct approach to the re-branding of progressive was exactly what we needed. The brand workshop that was put on for our company was excellent, it got all of the staff engaged and looking at the business from a whole new perspective. The outcome of the workshop led to us identifying who we truly are as a company, at our core. Which we now shout from the rooftops! Thank you Claire for your attention to detail and no BS approach in delivering our rebrand.

    James Rayner, Director, progressive

  • We work with many graphic designers in our line of work, but there was only one person we wanted to entrust with our rebrand. Claire aces every project she touches and makes the whole process a really enjoyable one. She gets to know you, your business and your people before getting creative and delivering an incredible brand that you’ll love and will really work for you. Claire’s experience and portfolio speak for itself. She’s second to none and to use any other designer would only leave you thinking “but what would Claire have done…”

    Chris Bolt, Director, Stalite Signs

  • Claire has worked up a new brand strategy for both The JAM Interiors Group and Devon Stone, bringing both organisations bang up to date. This included print, buildings, vehicles, and websites. She is easy to work with, clearly has years of experience, and pushes you out of your control zone.

    Jose Cortizo, Director, JAM Interiors

  • Claire is an expert at branding and would be a wise choice for anyone looking to create a new image for themselves. She is creative and really knows her stuff...

    Paul Mather, Director, PVM Supplies

  • We gave our brief out to a number of agencies and Claire from Bakerbrand met every expectation we wanted. Very easy to work with, great ideas, superb attention to detail. Wouldn't think twice about using Bakerbrand again.

    Frank Casali, Director, CCK Tech

  • Claire has been amazing in revamping our business! She has taken a tired old logo and turned it into a brand!! I can't recommend her enough!!!

    Andy Smith, Director, progressive

  • We used Claire to design all our branding and logos for our new company. After previously bad experiences with other designers/companies we were so pleased to find someone who made it so simple and so effective. Claire produced several options for us and nothing was too much trouble. Extremely pleased with our branding and have had a lot of great feedback on how great it looks. Great job!

    Adam Gibbins, Director, Thermalco
