It's no secret that Hollywood is a place where dreams are made, and dreams are broken. There are thousands of entertainers in this city that are competing for the same all-star role - How do you stand out? We understand this dilemma, whether you're a popular rock band performing on the Sunset Strip, or a young actress auditioning for that first role at a Culver City studio.
We know what it takes for talent to develop their personal brand and ultimately blossom within the entertainment industry. We're not just here to give you a few generic career tips. To make it in this industry, it takes a lot more than that. We want to know what makes you unique as an entertainer and cater to your specific abilities. Together, we can create an experience that leaves you feeling like the superstar that you are.
What defines your Brand, makes it unique, and adds meaningful value to the world? Who should comprise your target market? How is all of this expressed in the look and feel of your Brand – the colors, typefaces, stylistic elements, and how they all come together?
We will answer all of these questions and develop a look and feel that best expresses your talent identity in a way that resonates with your target market. This will include creating your name (if undetermined), logo, business card, other identity materials and a style guide for future visual communications.
