Overview of Branding & Design Products and Services
For startup craft breweries, branding and identity is the most important piece of the puzzle. You can brew the greatest beer in town but none of it will matter if your branding falls flat. While people enjoy the taste of good beer, it’s the experiences and emotions connected with that beer that will keep them coming back. Building a truly unique culture that customers want to be a part of time and time again is essential for a brewery to succeed. This begins and ends with great branding.
Brand Identity and Standards
It all starts here. Developing a brand identity and brand standards guide explains what your brand is and how you’re going to communicate it?
Logo Creation
Without a great logo, you just have beer. A well-crafted logo will perfectly compliment your brand and distinguish you from the others (and sell more beer).
Collateral Design
Signage, business cards, menus, letterhead, email signatures, and more. Every piece of business collateral must consistently communicate your brand.
Product Packaging
What will your tap handle look like? How will you package your six-packs? More importantly, are those ideas on-brand?
Swag Items
Branded shirts, coasters, coozies, and pint glasses all transform your customers into brand advocates.
Overview of Website Design & Development Services
Today, every business must have a website and your brewery is no different. But instead of just having a website, you need to make your website work for you! A well-designed and built website will capture every visitor by telling your brand’s story and engage customers by showing them why they should drink your beer.
Web Design
Websites should be beautiful and people take note when they’re not. A uniquely crafted and on-brand web design is worth every penny.
Web Development
Make your website do what you want it to do with great web development. Whether it’s getting visitors to contact you, highlighting a new taproom special or promoting a beer release, web development must be a priority.
eCommerce
Selling swag and clothing online is an easy money maker for breweries. Incorporate eCommerce into your website so your customers can get what they want, when they want it.
Ongoing Maintenance and Management
Without regular attention and maintenance, even the best websites will start to struggle. Make sure you have a website management plan in place before going live.
Social Media Creation and Management
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are just the tip of the iceberg. For startup breweries, social media is the best place to communicate to your customers and build (and retain) a loyal following.

Blog Creation and Management
A brewery’s blog is the perfect place to connect with your customers and enhance SEO at the same time. Regular blogging also creates engaging content that can be shared across social media and other pages.
Press Releases
Press releases are the more traditional way (yet still very effective way) of drawing attention to your brewery. Every big announcement at your brewery should include a press release that gets distributed to traditional media as well as online press release sites.
