I found Kelly Mackenzie Design just as I was looking to completely rebrand my wedding planning business. I wanted to move my business toward the high-end, luxury market and needed a new look to do that. I had a new website, business cards, stationery, and marketing materials designed. It is difficult to find someone who you trust with aspects of your own business and, equally, someone who understands your vision. So, I was very happy to find Kelly Mackenzie Design. Kelly is a very good listener, which is incredibly important when it comes to design and creating a brand identity. She took everything I said and even found nuances in my business that I didn’t even notice where there to create powerful designs. For instance, I am an American wedding planner in London, so she designed the crown on top of my crest with stars to represent American and the crown for Britain. In addition, Kelly was very patient and received feedback well. This created a fantastic creative relationship that ultimately led to a beautiful final product that I am proud to have represent my business. Since rebranding with Kelly Mackenzie Design I have found that I have many more very well established businesses in the industry who are asking to work with me. Before this process, I spent a lot of time persuading others to do business with me. In addition, I have been able to raise my prices. Thus, the investment is already proving to be worth it.
