Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is a brand playbook and how is it different from brand guidelines?
Traditional brand guidelines are static rules – color codes, logo spacing, font specifications. A Brand Playbook is your strategic framework for authentic brand expression in any context. It captures not just how your brand looks, but how it thinks, speaks, and adapts across every touchpoint while maintaining its essential character. Guidelines tell you what not to do, Playbooks are a roadmap showing you how to succeed.
2. How does a brand playbook help my team make better brand decisions?
Your Brand Playbook becomes your team’s strategic compass, eliminating uncertainty about brand expression. Instead of asking “What would the brand team do?” your people can confidently answer “What would our brand do?” The playbook provides decision-making frameworks, messaging strategies, and contextual guidance that empowers consistent brand behavior at every level.
3. What's actually included in your brand playbook service?
Our Brand Playbooks include strategic foundation (brand heart, brand story, positioning, values), comprehensive visual systems, messaging frameworks and voice guidelines, contextual applications across all channels. Think of it as your brand’s complete strategic operating system, not just visual instructions.

What Our Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Michael Jones2020-11-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s fair to say that I approached the Bradbury Brand Imprint process with a certain amount of hesitation. I felt that we had already invested so many resources into analyzing our brand and our messaging both internally and with our stakeholders. I was, therefore, incredibly surprised and excited when the process revealed something entirely new to me about our brand – and that new idea became one of the major principles of developing our new visual identity. HRFoundation2020-11-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Foundation has been working with Bradbury Design since 2015. They are responsible for a brand re-fresh that breathed new life and focus into our public image, and defined our visual personality. Catharine and Bree have become trusted partners and always find a way to deliver on time and on budget. Thanks for making us look so good.

SARA LINDSAY MAKEUP STUDIO & STORE2020-10-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted Bradbury to create a logo for me for a new venture and a brand is so much more than a logo of course. Bradbury did extensive research of the industry, identified my target market and helped me understand and create my brand story, identity and message. They were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They are experts at what they do but are also really lovely to work with in that they are open to a collaborative effort. I can’t recommend Bradbury enough. I trust them with my brand completely and feel confident that I can launch knowing that my brand is rich in substance and represents not only my product well but who I am and what I want to convey.

Saskatchewan Mining Association2020-09-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bradbury Brand's team of experts provide high quality design work with exceptional service. It's always a pleasure to work with Catharine and her team. Nena Hawkes2020-09-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Looking back on almost 30 years of socially engaged arts practice, we wanted something that reflected our innovative and forward thinking approach while respecting the strong roots and history of the organization. The team at Bradbury worked with us to find branding choices that spoke to both priorities, resulting in a new look that we are truly proud of. Catharine's joy and excitement is infectious, and she has the experience to back it up. Anyone who has the chance to work with Bradbury is fortunate indeed.

Working with Catharine and Bree and the team at Bradbury Brand + Design Experts has been an absolute dream! They are professional, down-to-earth, and incredibly gifted at what they do, paying particular attention to the little details that matter. Their expertise will make you look and feel like a million bucks (on a budget!), and their kind hearts will make collaborating a truly wonderful experience. Greg Basky2018-11-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had the pleasure of working with Catharine and her team many times over the years, on everything from simple print ads, to infographics, annual reports, and a major refresh of our visual identity. They always deliver what we as the client asks for. Catharine is open to criticism/feedback; she explains her rationale for design decisions, then listens to and finds ways to incorporate our input. The Bradbury team is clear in their communication with us, and deliver proofs and final products to deadlines set out in the production schedule. She always builds in sufficient time for reviews of, and changes to, proofs. Their final billings are always consistent with estimates. There are never any surprises. Catharine will always flag in cases where costs are going to exceed the original estimate she provided. Catharine does a great job of staying on top of things. The quality of her finished work is always top notch. She personally manages our account, which is big plus of working with a smaller "boutique" agency. Catharine and her team always deliver great creative that comes in on time and on budget.
