BETTER BRAND, BETTER BUSINESS.

Brand starts well below the surface. Getting to grips with who you are and what you stand for gives you the real blueprint for success.

I’m Dionysis Livanis: a London-based brand consultant, creative director, and brand builder.

I work with start-ups, early-stage businesses, charities and SMEs – directly or with agency teams – to craft strong brands. And I always start with taking a good look at the foundations.

What’s working with what you’ve got – and what’s not? Are your vision and story super clear? Is your identity up to date? Are your comms working? As a brand consultant, I’ll dig through all the layers with you. And then use what we learn to create a visual identity that’s memorable, inspires loyalty, and helps you stand out from the crowd.

I’ve spent over 20 years diving into thorny issues and finding the answers through strategic brand thinking and design that really works.

If you’re wondering if I’ve worked in your region or with your kind of organisation: probably! I’ve led projects in the UK, EU, Asia, Middle East, and US across sectors including B2B, finance, health, education, government, utilities, culture, charities, entertainment, and retail.

I’ve spent most of my career in London, freelancing for some of the industry’s most familiar names and as a creative director for Definition, Redhouse, and WHAM. I even picked up a few awards along the way.

(And the Olympic torch when I worked in Athens – but that’s another story.)

See who I’ve worked with in your world or get in touch and I can tell you all about them.

What’s holding up your brand?

Maybe you’re just setting out and want to start strong. Or you’ve had a hard-working brand until now, but you’re gearing up for more growth. Or perhaps you know something’s off, but not what just yet. Wherever you’re at, we’ll uncover the ‘why’ behind the what.

That means I’ll ask a lot of questions.

Armed with the answers, I’ll help you put together a plan to get the roadblocks out of the way and then put it into action.

What you’ll get from working with me:

Brand Strategy

  • Brand workshop: a collaborative session to find what works – and doesn’t – and explore ways to strengthen your brand
  • Strategic roadmap: a clear and practical plan that’s easy to follow and use from day one
  • Brand DNA: all the essentials including vision, mission, brand personality, tone of voice, architecture and USPs

I’m a brand consultant who’s allergic to agency fluff. With me you’ll get clear thinking and a plan you can use straight away.

Design

  • Visual identity: a full look and feel including logos, colours, and all that good stuff
  • Brand guidelines: clear directions on how to use your brand including layout guides, tone of voice principles, and print and digital applications
  • Marketing material: everything from videos and social media posts to publications, posters and exhibition banners

Here’s where I bring your brand to life and make it distinctly yours.

And I’ll enlist experts as needed. Like fellow strategists and designers, researchers, writers, photographers, illustrators, and animators.

Already got an in-house or agency team? Great, that works for me too.

Nothing else to see here.
But I can certainly share more over a call. You know what to do.
