What Are Brand Guidelines?
Brand guidelines are your brand’s rulebook. They’re the instructions that ensure everyone, from your internal team to external partners, represents your brand the way it’s meant to be. These guidelines aren’t just about keeping things pretty; they’re about making sure your brand’s personality shines through, no matter where it’s seen or heard.

Huddle Creative’s Comprehensive Approach
At Huddle Creative, we believe in a tailored approach. We don’t just give you a template and send you on your way. We work closely with you to create brand guidelines that truly reflect your brand’s unique identity, both visually and verbally. Our process is thorough and collaborative, ensuring that your brand guidelines are as effective as they are distinctive.
- Deep Dive Discovery We start by diving deep into the heart of your brand. This phase is all about uncovering the stories, values, and visions that define who you are. We’ll explore what truly sets your brand apart and how you want the world to see you. This understanding lays the groundwork for the guidelines we create.
- Hone Your Brand Strategy and Story Once we’ve got a clear grasp of your brand’s DNA, we refine your brand’s blueprint. Here, we’ll define the key pillars of your brand identity: logo, typography, colour palette, and tone of voice. This step is crucial to making sure every element feels authentic and tells your brand’s story effectively.
- Craft Your Brand Identity Next, we’ll bring your brand identity to life with careful design. This phase blends creativity with strategy to produce a brand guidelines document that’s both comprehensive and practical. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to ensure your brand’s visual and verbal identity stays consistent across all touchpoints.
- Capture in Brand Guidelines Finally, we’ll present your brand’s new playbook, your comprehensive brand guidelines. We don’t just hand it over and walk away. Instead, we’ll walk you through the guidelines, making sure you’re ready to apply every element effectively. As your brand grows and evolves, we’ll be there to tweak the guidelines, keeping your brand in sync with its core identity.

The Key Principles of Successful Brand Guidelines
Consistency
Brand guidelines should ensure consistency across all touchpoints, making sure your brand is represented in a unified and cohesive way, no matter where or how it’s seen.
Accessibility
Brand guidelines need to be easily accessible to everyone who needs them, from internal teams to external partners. This ensures everyone stays on the same page when representing your brand.
User Friendly
Effective brand guidelines should be easy to navigate, with clear instructions and examples. When the guidelines are straightforward, there’s no excuse for getting things wrong.
Evolving
Your brand guidelines should be regularly updated to reflect changes in the market, audience behaviour, or the brand itself. They should be a living document that grows and evolves along with your brand.

"The reason we ended up choosing Huddle was because we didn’t want a cookie-cutter approach that other agencies were offering us, we wanted someone who would really get to know our Firm and push us to not be afraid to be a bit different in our sector. We’re incredibly happy with the final product. It’s a great balance of being different like we wanted, but also being realistic about who we are as a Firm and how we market our brand in the legal sector. Our new brand is exciting and fresh, but because it is quite flexible and adaptable, it has more longevity which is what we also really needed. We’ve even had competitors ask us who we used for our rebrand!!"
