Today we’re excited to be connecting with Katie Smetherman Holmes again. We’re excited to feature one of their services in our gift guide – learn more below and we encourage you to use your gift budget to support small businesses & creatives whenever possible.

Katie, so thrilled to have you joining us again, this time to talk all about your services and so let’s jump right in. Please give our audience some background on your services.
I’m Katie Smetherman Holmes at Brand Studio Creative, I specialize in creating bold brands, unique websites, and strategic brand solutions that not only look great but are built to resonate with your audience. I understand that your brand is the heartbeat of your business. It’s what makes you unique and connects you to the people who matter most.

I love working with female entrepreneurs, new business owners, and business owners ready to evolve. I work with companies to build complete brand systems that align with their mission, core values, and vision through purpose driven strategy. What makes my expertise unique is that I received training in graphic design, website design and development, and completed a masters in brand management and communication. I utilize these trainings in every client that I work with to provide them not only with top notch designs, but trainings in their own business to help empower them in their company.

Who is this service for and who is it probably not a good fit for?
If you’re tired of struggling with your brand strategy or feeling like your brand doesn’t truly reflect who you are, it’s time for a change. My full brand design packages serve female entrepreneurs, new business owners, and business owners ready to evolve.

You’ve got big dreams, and I’ve got the expertise to bring them to life. My team is passionate about working with women in business and entrepreneurs who are ready to elevate their brands and transform their digital presence.

The full brand package is not for business owners who are looking for quick fixes or patch jobs on your branding.

If you had to boil your services or brand down to one core message – what would that message be?
My mission is to create real, authentic brands and websites that not only look great but are driven by heart, purpose, and strategy. This has profoundly shaped the success of my company. My company, Brand Studio Creative, is led by heart for a very specific reason. As a designer, one of my main tasks throughout the day is listening. By prioritizing listening, I run into so many business owners who are frustrated and confused with not only their branding but also understanding all the pieces it takes to run a successful business.

What’s next on the service or brand roadmap?
Many of my clients after going through my full branding package look to how they can share their business online. I work with them to keep their brand consistent with a complete website design and build through WordPress. I continue to lead with heart, purpose, and strategy to build the website that will turn their leads to excited clients.
