About Us
Meet Our Talented Team
Whether quill pen or gel pen. Whether typewriter or computer keyboard. Regardless of the method used, who doesn’t love a good story unfolding? Stories have the power to captivate. They give us a chance to connect. They give us hope with a unifying message that draws us together.
I think that’s why so many of us love a good pen. Pens make marks. Marks tell stories. Stories mean something. The signature marks from quill pens made marriages official and property change hands. Emblazoned marks from a branding iron claimed whose cattle could graze on specific parcels of land. Marks left in wax by signet rings led nations into war and unified kingdoms. The marks of specific fonts, colors, graphics, and messaging built brands for businesses that have stood the test of time.
A study of some of these now world-famous brands reveals that branding doesn’t happen overnight. Building a brand is like grabbing a quill pen or sitting in front of a typewriter and writing a story that unfolds over time. It often starts with “Once upon a time” I had a great business idea, and one always hopes it will eventually “Live happily ever after,” but many never outline the story that guides the way.
You may have already introduced the world to your business, or you may be looking for a great introduction. You may have a vision for your business that depicts a beautiful conclusion many years from now, or you may be looking for a way to build to a strong conclusion someday. The real question is do you know how to build out the detailed story structure that will guide your audience from an exciting introduction to a long-term love of your products and services? Have you composed a carefully crafted message which will help you reach the powerful vision you have for your business? If not, you need the storytellers extraordinaire, the branding and advertising professionals of BAP Agency.
