Buildabrand is one of the most exciting developments in Web 2.0 of recent years and illustrates where the web is going.

Buildabrand gives entrepreneurs and other business professionals ownership and control of their branding – giving them the opportunity to create on demand branding any time, any place, any where… from the web.

Buildabrand makes good quality branding fast, reasonable and accessible to all, illustrating that brands are about more than logos.

Buildabrand’s Beta site shows it’s potential to transform the branding industry. While there will always be a need for agencies that craft bespoke branding for organisations with more complex branding requirements – Buildabrand is absolutely ideal for the SME or start-up that needs a basic brand ID to get going. Buildabrand also provides the ideal platform for a brand that has already been developed, but needs applying across a range of media with speed and efficiency, but to a budget.

Buildabrand is going to be big.

Please add me to your list of beta clients. Am regularly trying to help small nonprofits or advocacy groups without a budget develop a brand for their effort. It will be wonderful if you can help. Best of luck.

Hello People!
Branding is NOT a Logo, a Color Theme and a Tag Line!
A Brand is not a $4.99 online deal!

Building a sustainable and recognizable Brand requires Brand Strategy, Brand Positioning, Brand Segmentation, Brand Extension, Brand Philosophy, Product Lifecycle, Customer Experience (online + offline) and much much more.

To call the result of Buildabrand.com a “Brand” loses the completeness and the scope of what a scalable and sustainable Brand really is and places its users into a misguided false sense of reality that they have a “Brand”.

As an Entrepreneur many times, I fully commend the Founders on locking into a niche and a “tribe” – but to end there is actually disinformation and digital highway robbery at best.

In my opinion to build a brand is not an automated process. I try to find terms and conditions of Build a Brand, but was not successful yet. I will be happy to contribute in testing process.

This is a perfect service. I can’t remember the last genius moment I witnessed in branding – maybe the private note cards from Mickey Drexler at JCrew when the market first tanked – which were spectacular but not at the level of genius you guys just hit. This is great design, uncomplicated, clean, precise, does exactly what it ought. It’s to the internet what Givenchy was to Audrey Hepburn.

I am in the process if creating a seminar company for real estate investors. I have business cards and stationary of my own making but your approach and potential results sound appealing.

I hope that I may be included in the 200 beta user test group.

Hi Sean,

At this stage, users will need to come to us having decided on a company name. But we plan to offer naming services in the future.

I’m a marketing and business consultant who’s done his fare share of brand strategy work for some of the world’s biggest customers and with some of the world’s largest agencies. I’m now heavily focused in marketing automation technologies, although I’ve never seen anything try to do what Buildabrand does. It sounds primarily to be an automated logo-building tool, and it appears branding strategy is not taken into much consideration. But still, if it works, I can see value for entrepreneurs.

Please put me on the Buildabrand’s beta invitation list. Conveniently, I’m in the midst of launching a new company; the timing for this test is good. I’d love to help you hone your product.

Good for you for launching this venture.

Cheers.
