Every website review we've run this summer turned up the same story. A business with real skill and a real following, running on a site or a logo that was never actually strategized, just assembled once and left alone. We think that's the wrong order. Brand should come first, and this fall we're giving one Buffalo business the chance to fix it for nothing.
We're giving away a full Brand Foundation, the strategy, positioning, identity, and brand guide we normally build for our paying clients, worth $3,500, to one small business in the greater Buffalo area. Everyone else who applies gets 15% off, whether you want the brand work alone or the brand and a custom website together. And if you're the one we pick, once your brand guide is finished, you'll also get 20% off building the website on top of it.
Any small business operating in the greater Buffalo area. That's the only requirement.
Two ways in. Apply for your own business directly, or nominate one you love, a favorite salon, your favorite trainer, the shop you've been telling everyone about, and we'll reach out to them ourselves.
We read every entry ourselves. No random draw, no vote. We're looking for a business with a real story and a real need, one we can genuinely picture doing right by. Full official rules are linked here.
We started Vagari Creative because too many good businesses in this city are underselling themselves with a brand that was never actually theirs. This is us trying to fix that for one of you, in public, before the year's out.
