WE HELP OUR CLIENTS
Work out who they are and what makes them unique
Determine what they should say and how best to say it
Project themselves effectively to their customers
We use the power of branding to help clients build brand value and sales. Turning plans and ideas into saleable products & services.
We are experts in the business of brands. We pride ourselves on being skilled, knowledgable, efficient and delivering tangible value. We focus on the real world of business. Where getting things right and getting things done is what ultimately counts.
We have a long standing passion for branding. Our experience and perspective is broad. From business and brand strategy to naming and identities through to the many forms of verbal and visual branding.
We stay at the forefront of global branding best practice. We observe, review, interpret and distill the evolving brand landscape and bring the that value to our work and clients.
That is usually a combination of:
- A clear and concise brand strategy
- A strong name, url, descriptor and tagline combination
- A unique and memorable logo and central visual ID
- Ownable and consistent branding application across communication touch-points
We live and work in both bricks & mortar AND digital worlds.

If you require a particular skill set for your project please share it with us. We have a great deal of experience across all facets of branding, marketing, sales and design so chances are we have likely been there before. But rest assured if we do not think we can deliver your project to a very high standard then we will politely decline the work. We never take on work that we do not have the skills or experience to manage so there is no possibility of us ever over promising and under delivering.
HOW WE WORK
At Blue Swimmer Group we work with clients in one of two ways.
1. Project Basis
When working on a project basis, we take a clients brief and prepare an estimated cost to deliver the project. Estimates are developed based on our expectation of the direct costs and hours work required to deliver the project. We present this estimate to our clients for review. Once agreed the project is undertaken. Project based work is suitable for briefs with clear and defined deliverables without the risk of significant variation.
2. Hourly Rates
Hourly rate projects are costed on the actual hours spent completing the work. Hourly rates are agreed for the type of work required and then recorded and invoiced for the actual hours worked. Hourly rates are set by Blue Swimmer Group and are dependant on a number of variables including the size of the project, the complexity of the work, the expected duration of the work and whether the relationship between Blue Swimmer Group and the Client is short, medium or long term. Hourly rates are great for projects that have the potential to vary as the project progresses.
In general we try to be as flexible as possible with how we work to suit our Client’s needs. We don’t like to waste time and money with excessive processes and red tape. We prefer to keep businesses relationships clear & efficient so we can spend our thinking time on making the project outcomes great. Please contact us is you would like to get an idea of cost for your project. You will find us upfront and realistic.
