The Vibe   vintage, outdoorsy, adventurous, timeless

Life’s an adventure and Love’s a wild ride. 

My favorite part is how we were able to take Zach’s love for the outdoors and turn it into a brand that speaks to his ideal clients.

Zach is such a genuine, caring guy, and we wanted to make sure that was portrayed throughout.

Inspiration

branding

I absolutely loved working with Zach to create this moody and nostalgic brand for him. The color palette plays a huge role in conveying the feeling that we wanted.. Adventurous yet refined. To bring in some romanticism, we created a mark that has that open skies feeling with a sun rising on the horizon. It’s gritty and refined, playful and professional. It’s got a touch of Americana, as any true Texas-based brand would. His submarks really helped bring this identity full circle!

Zach came to The Cabana because he had created his own logo, and realized it was a giant disconnect for his ideal clients. He looked like a hunting business. He wanted us to take his love for the outdoors, and use this to create a brand that spoke to his ideal client and was relatable to couples looking for a wedding videographer. With his vision in mind, we were able to craft a brand unique to him and his love for the outdoors, while drawing his ideal couples in to not only fall in love with his brand, but fall in love with him as a person. The result? His ideal couples booking him and not thinking twice about their decision.

  • Jump on a Discovery Call so I can find out where you are in your business and where you want to go.

Step 1

Austin Strategizes

  • We start with a creative strategy call to discuss your vision, ideal client and inspiration. I’ll then create a mood and vision board for you to review. 

Step 2

  • After you’ve signed off on your mood and vision board, I build your logo and identity. You’ll receive a full walk through video on your new branding. 
  • Once approved, I’ll create your website homepage. You’ll see your new brand in action, and get a sense of how your new website will look and feel.

  • Your copy usually begins just after you’ve signed off your mood board. We’ll get on a Zoom call and start unpacking your questionnaire

Step 3

  • My job is to tell your story and craft a brand tone of voice. I’ll ask questions that start forming a narrative so your website copy sounds authentic to you. 
  • After receiving the first draft and providing feedback, I edit and finesse your copy. Once you love your copy and sign off on it, Alice incorporates it into your website!

Before I made the decision to update my branding, I was worried that I would spend all this money and not get my desired result. After a consultation with The Creative Cabana, I knew that wouldn't be what happened. The team was amazing to work with! Open, honest, insightful, creative, and intentional. They focused on my work as if I was their only client and gave me the VIP experience. I am super grateful for their work and how they have set me up for success!

 I am super grateful for their work
