Why Professional Branding Matters in 2025

  • Attention is scattered
    A cohesive identity cuts through the noise across social feeds, AI overviews and physical touchpoints.
  • Trust is visual
    75 % of consumers judge a company’s credibility by design quality alone (Behavior & Information Technology Journal, 2024).
  • Consistency boosts revenue
    A unified brand presence can increase average revenue by up to 33 % according to Forbes.
  • AI‑first search is coming
    Strong visuals feed image‑based search, SGE carousels and brand knowledge panels.
Our new identity generated a 54 % uplift in direct bookings within three months."
