Branding Best Practices for MSPs

Quick-hit best practices:

Start with positioning - design follows strategy.
Create a single source of truth (asset library + hosted guideline URL).
Include application examples: proposals, email signatures, slide templates.
Define governance: who can approve co-branding and partner usage.
Make accessibility a priority (contrast, font size) for enterprise audiences.

Design decisions should reduce friction for sales and build trust with enterprise buyers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You ask, we answer

What’s included in a Brand Identity & Guidelines package?

You get the full brand overhaul...not just a logo and a vibe. We start with discovery: interviews, audience insights, and a competitor sweep to figure out what actually sets your MSP apart. Then we turn that strategy into 2–3 visual directions with logos, palettes, fonts, and the story behind each option.

Once you pick the winning direction, we refine everything into final lockups, icons, and a visual system your team can actually use. Then we wrap it in a clean, thorough brand guidelines PDF plus editable templates for decks, proposals, and social.

And yes, we train your team so the brand doesn’t fall apart the second it leaves the design folder.

Do you provide files in web-ready formats (SVG, EPS)?

Obvi! You get every file format you’ll ever need. SVG for crystal-clear web use, EPS for print and signage, PNGs for everyday marketing, and layered source files for your team or designers.

No blurry logos.
No “can someone convert this?” emergencies.
No hunting through old email threads for the “right version.”

You walk away with a tidy, organized brand folder that’s plug-and-play everywhere you show up.

How long does a typical brand identity project take?

Most MSP brand identity projects take 4–8 weeks, depending on how many stakeholders are involved and how fast your team gives feedback. Discovery moves quickly, concept rounds are usually the longest phase, and refinements go fast once you choose a direction.

We keep the process structured, the reviews focused, and the momentum steady; no endless back-and-forth or “let’s redo everything” spirals.

In short: fast enough to move your brand forward, thorough enough to do it right.

Can you refresh an existing identity instead of a full redesign?

Yep, if your brand isn’t broken, it may just need a glow-up. We can modernize your colors, sharpen your typography, clean up your logo, and fix any visual clutter without tearing everything down to the studs.

We keep what’s working, upgrade what’s outdated, and tighten the parts that feel inconsistent across your website, proposals, and social posts. Think of it as a strategic facelift, not a full identity crisis.

If your brand just needs polish, we won’t push a rebuild. We make what you already have look intentional, and a lot more professional.

How do templates integrate with HubSpot and PowerPoint?

We build your templates so they drop straight into HubSpot and PowerPoint without any wrestling. HubSpot gets branded modules, styled CTAs, email layouts, and content blocks that your team can edit without breaking the design. PowerPoint gets master slides, locked styles, and preset layouts so every deck looks polished...even when someone edits it five minutes before a meeting.

No formatting chaos.
No “why does this slide look different?” drama.
Just consistent branding, wherever your team works.

A clear brand identity and enforceable guidelines build trust, speed marketing production, and support sales which make your MSP look bigger, more capable, and more professional.
