Inside out branding projects
The Brand Surgery: Branding and Logo Design Agency in West Sussex
At The Brand Surgery, we help small independent businesses grow by crafting brands that shine from the inside out. We specialise in impactful branding strategies designed to connect with your audience, converse through engaging content, and convert leads into loyal customers. Our work spans a variety of sectors, from heritage sites to hospitality, demonstrating our versatility and dedication to building brand identities that resonate.
Some of our recent projects include:
- Brighton City Airport: We revitalised Brighton City Airport’s brand with a fresh logo and website, connecting the airport’s heritage with a modern audience. This rebrand successfully captured the essence of the airport’s aviation history while making it relevant for today’s users, encouraging conversations through ongoing brand engagement. The new identity has helped convert visitors into repeat customers by positioning the airport as a historic yet modern hub for aviation enthusiasts.
- Worthing Dome Cinema: Our work on the Worthing Dome Cinema rebrand connected the local community and tourists to the cinema’s iconic Art Deco charm, with a refreshed visual identity that appealed to both heritage lovers and new audiences. The Dome has maintained its beloved status by facilitating conversations through enhanced branding while drawing in new visitors. The rebrand helped convert casual visitors into loyal patrons, reinforcing the cinema’s role as a cultural hub.
- Sleep Eco Inn: For Sleep Eco Inn, we created a calming and sustainable brand identity that connected with eco-conscious travellers. The design sparked meaningful conversations with guests through visual branding that reflected the hotel’s commitment to sustainability. This connection converted eco-friendly visitors into loyal customers who value the hotel’s environmental ethos and branding consistency.
Our Connect, Converse, Convert methodology ensures every project is built on a strong foundation that resonates with your audience, engages them in meaningful ways, and ultimately leads to sustainable business growth.
