As a brand strat­egy and design agency, we spend every day liv­ing and breath­ing brands. Whether we’re work­ing with prod­ucts or com­pa­nies on their iden­tity, pack­ag­ing, brand def­i­n­i­tion, brand decod­ing and map­ping the com­pet­i­tive brand land­scape they work in — we are con­scious that each of us also projects our own per­sonal brand.

Every­thing we do from the cloth­ing we wear, our appear­ance, our atti­tudes, the car we drive, the watch we wear, in fact each of the brands we choose to asso­ciate with our­selves all blend in to project the image we wish to the out­side world to see. Some time ago our founder and cre­ative direc­tor David Ansett wrote about per­sonal brand asso­ci­a­tion with two arti­cles on brand map­ping – one back in August last year and the other, a more recent one cre­ated in Decem­ber. This is the way we work and in many ways this is the very essence of how brands work.

But as with all things, there are those who take per­sonal brand­ing to the extreme. Feed­ing that obses­sion is a Ger­man firm called Style Your Garage that cre­ates skins for garage doors that turns the hum­ble garage into a head-turning show­case of per­sonal brand. There’s a door for almost every shape of over-sized ego — the ques­tion is, which one best suits yours?

If you’d like to find out how a strate­gi­cally crafted per­sonal brand­ing strat­egy can increase your indus­try expo­sure, com­pet­i­tive dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion and oppor­tu­ni­ties talk to us today.

    Love these garage doors — espe­cially the alli­ga­tor. They’re not sub­tle, but alot of fun.

  2. Dan says:

    Per­haps the dif­fer­en­tia­tor is a plain, well-maintained and clut­ter free garage door.

    it would be nice to arrive home to a trop­i­cal sun­set and hori­zon pool every­day, but the real­ity of sit­ting in my car inside a grey garage just wouldn’t feel the same. Imag­ine a whole street filled with colour­ful and eccen­tric garage skins. I’d like the see that!
