Kiya Sports is a prime example of how to build brand recognition and awareness for a start-up entrepreneurial venture and they dedicated themselves to branding really shows. They followed the key ground zero branding steps outlined above and then added the “lifestyle branding” that gave their new venture the personality that really connected with their target audience.
Creative Marketing Services recently helped brand and launch Kiya Sports; a new Southern California based Paddleboard Company. The owner had very specific ideas about who they were, what they were all about and what they stood for and those same characteristics have been woven into the “lifestyle branding” fabric that Kiya Sports is built on.
An extensive list of detailed criteria was used in the development of their ultimate target audience and the demographics used to define that audience included everything from age, gender, lifestyle choices and personality to where they lived, worked and played.
Developing a comprehensive branding strategy, and staying true to that strategy, is what sets Kiya Sports apart from their competition and its paid big dividends for Kiya Sports, its owners, the Paddleboard Community and to their ever growing list of customers, members and newsletter subscribers.
The branding is consistent, memorable, focused, fun and accurately portrays the experience and essence of what Kiya Sports is all about.
The logo design, color scheme, business name and company tagline etc…work extremely well together and are used in every aspect of their business from business cards and promotional items to store signage and website graphics.
