You get one chance to make a first impression.

The Power of Brand
Your brand is more important than the quality your offering.
Yep—it’s true.
You don’t realize that you also buy that laundry detergent because the colors and letters on the label give you good vibes; you pick that restaurant because the signage and façade feel like somewhere you’d hang; you pick that coffee because the packaging feels artisanal; you download one app over the others because the logo is sleeker and cooler.
And that is the power of brand.
It goes beyond a logo. Your brand is all the things that go into creating that first impression—that first emotional reaction. You brand is what determines—in an instant—whether your potential customer even wants to start a conversation with you, visit your website, or pick your product off the shelf.
SMBLZ Express
For 20 years, we’ve been hired by corporations and cities to brand everything from TV channels and transit systems to apps, candy bars, neighborhoods, and tourist destinations. (Yep—we do everything.)
Creating a proper brand—and bringing it to life—requires different experts working together: strategists, writers, designers, and technologists. That’s why our branding solutions were always too expensive for startups and Main Street businesses.
Not anymore.
We’ve invented a new, ultra-streamlined approach for businesses who need a brand without all the extra stuff: SMBLZ Express.
Get everything you really need in one place: name, tagline, logo, visual style, and website.
Get it all affordably. Get it fast.

SMBLZ Express is a faster, condensed branding solution. It’s just what a lot of startups and small-to-medium-sized businesses need.
But our Express solution isn’t right for everyone. Many of our clients need the full solution. They need a complete analysis of the target audience, the competitive landscape, and the market opportunity; proper mission statement and brand values; a unique brand voice and writing guidelines; a much wider creative exploration; a more extensive creative buildout; and a complete Brandbook and launch strategy at the end.
But if you just want your brand’s core building blocks quickly and affordably, SMBLZ Express is the way to go.
And guess what? You can build on your initial investment, adding bells and whistles later on.
