If you’re struggling with being consistent on how your business shows up in the world - we’re talking a different Canva template or theme for each post, using colours and fonts that catch your eye on the day or slipping back into that droll, but ‘professional’, corporate tone - then we have something that’ll help! The brand word + design playbook, otherwise known as a style guide, is here to save you from template scrolling doom, blank page syndrome and confused messaging.

Here’s a quick overview of the gems we discussed in this episode:

  • What a brand (word + design) playbook is all about

  • Why we’ve pulled this signature blend together through our work in our bells and whistles package ‘Limelight’

  • Why the interplay between copy and design is so crucial in getting the best results for your brand and business and how we use it as creative inspiration

  • Why you never have to stare at a blank page or fight with a social media template again

  • Who a brand word + design playbook is for (hint - it’s not just for you)

  • And we share real life examples of how the brand playbook has empowered our client’s to develop their brand voice and move forward in a consistent and engaging way
