1.) Nail Your Core Elements First

Before worrying about your Instagram grid or font choices, get crystal-clear on these essentials:

• 🖋️ Logo: Simple, memorable, instantly recognizable.
  Can someone sketch it roughly on a napkin from memory? Good. 

  • You can use Looka or LogoAI to transform a sketch or an idea into a tangible first draft logo. (PS – Logos are my bread and butter.) If you need help workshopping it, let's jump on a call to create an awesome one in less than 24hrs.

    💡 Just describe your concept (style, vibe, industry), and the AI generates logo options instantly. Pick your favorite, tweak it, and you’re already 80% there.

• 🗣️ Tagline: Your elevator pitch distilled.

  • Clarity first, clever second. ("Just Do It," "Think Different.")

  • Remember - Simplicity is beauty. Make it simple. Make it hit. 

• 🎯 Mission & Vision:

  • Mission: Why do you exist today? Don’t default to corporate crap. Why are you doing what you are doing. Again, keep it simple, keep it human. This makes it relatable.

  • Vision: What does success look like tomorrow? Not just what your “Vision” is for your company internally, but what impact are you creating externally. Who are you impacting, and how are you impacting them?

    •  (Be specific, ambitious, inspiring.)

Remember - When it comes to the mission and vision, these are rarely used externally and more of an internal north star to guide decision making. (If we launch this feature, does it get us one step closer to our vision?) 

👍🏻 If yes, do it. 
👎🏻 If no, scrap it.

2.) Lock In Your Visual & Verbal Identity

• 🎨 Color Palette: Pick 1–2 bold primary colors, plus complementary accents.

• **Patty Pro tip: Don’t sacrifice readability for aesthetics. Keep accessibility top-of-mind.
  

• 🗨️ Tone & Voice: Define your brand personality clearly.

  • Are you sharp and professional (think: LinkedIn, HubSpot)?

  • Or casual and conversational (think: Slack, Mailchimp)?

  • **Patty Pro tip: Don’t sacrifice your humanity for the sake of tone. If the tone of your brand does not match your tone of life, you will fail at ever being consistent in your messaging. Either adjust your tone of life, or integrate it into your business. No exceptions.

Whichever route you pick, consistency wins. Document it, share with your team, and never deviate unless you go through a pivot or you eventually are forced into rebranding hell.

3.) Use Kits & Templates to Stay Consistent (And Sane)

Start smart from day one It is CRITICAL that you foundationally set up your brand and build out a comprehensive Brand Kit.
