We will get your business where it needs to be, on time, the first time, and for the right price. Do you really have time for all those moving parts? Get started Our Focus FAQ How do I increase brand recognition? Brand recognition means more than receiving name mentions in front of potential customers; it’s about cultivating the desired perception and understanding of your brand among key audiences. You can gain traction through increased marketing or updated messaging; try adding new tools, adopting new strategies and experimenting with new channels. Create opportunities that will help your audience help you spread the word, providing a measurable return on your investment. You have an inherently built-in base of potential advocates in your employees. Fundamentals like this are often overlooked, but employees can be a great resource if you make it easy for them to spread the word. As you leverage your company’s mission, vision and values to talk about important business decisions or cultural choices in your office, employees can refer to this familiar messaging as a way to talk about your company with others. They don’t need to sell anything, just be visible and excited about your company. To generate positive brand awareness, you need to give before you take. Companies often forget about the opportunity to build brand awareness by doing helpful work for the community and aligning the brand with good causes. Putting structure behind these philanthropic endeavors helps build culture, stronger employee bonds and brand awareness through association. Do you only design logos? We can help with every brand identity touchpoint between a client and their audience. This may include company or product naming, logo design, advertising, web design, signage, and promotional items. What type of clients do you work with? It doesn’t matter what industry you work in or if we have worked with a similar client before—the goal is about communicating what makes you unique regardless of your offering. You could be an insurance company or a musician or anything in between. Do you take on small projects? Yes. Alongside the larger projects we also love working with smaller startups that are excited about what they are doing, understand that design is more than making something pretty, and are willing to invest an appropriate budget. For both large and small projects, the ideal situation is to have an ongoing relationship where we can have a more substantial impact on the brand over time. Should I go directly to a sign company? Most entrepreneurs need professional assistance with signage since they don't have experience in this area. You probably will not know how big the letters should be to be visible from down the block, and you may not know which materials fare best in inclement weather. For this reason, you should visit a professional--either a designer or a sign fabricator. A good designer knows when fabricators are cutting corners and not using the material requested or doing a shoddy job. A designer will also be present at the time of installation to make sure the sign is properly installed. Do I need a sign permit? A permit is required for any sign that is erected or displayed in accordance with the City's sign bylaw. Each City, Town or Township has different bylaws. We are experts at completing the requirements and applying for sign permits from Toronto to New Hamburg. Do you offer help with personal branding? Yes, a personal brand is about developing a calculated, comprehensive and authentic image in the minds of a targeted group of people, in order to accomplish a definitive goal or set of goals. People with the most effective personal brands utilize content, social media, email, networking, and other means of interpersonal and mass communication to creatively portray their tangible attributes (e.g. years of experience, education, portfolio, case studies) and intangible attributes (e.g. expertise, insights, sense of humor, inspiration, unconventionalism). What type of graphic services do you provide? You name it, we know how to draw, illustrate or design any graphics needed for your project. From creative branding identity projects to custom stationery graphic design and social media branding, we do it all. We love the thrill of new projects and new brand concepts. From creative strategy to custom brand engagement and brand awareness campaigns, you can trust that unLOCKEd is a company you can trust to handle all your graphic elements. Can unLOCKEd help with social media? Your business needs to be on social media. If you aren’t, you’re missing out on free and effective marketing tools. With almost 70 percent of people on social media, your social media campaigns can reach a lot of people. However, not every social media platform is a good fit for every business. You should invest your time and skills in the platforms where you're most likely to reach and engage with your target audience. unLOCKEd can help you pick the best social media network for your business, and help you learn about the top channels and how to use them for your business.

Do you want to learn more about the team behind unLOCKEd? Learn more about the team behind unLOCKEd Victoria Erica Sarah Victoria Founder/Head of Marketing Erica Graphic Designer Sarah Copywriter Victoria Founder/Head of Marketing From just 11 years old, Victoria was passionate about marketing, deciding she was going to be like Angela from Who's the Boss, a high-powered, successful advertising executive in New York. Victoria has been working in the industry for 20 years and has built relationships with hundreds of companies, specializing in specific niches that all help her clients. Almost 10 years ago, Victoria observed the need for consistency across all marketing mediums, from logo design, to signage, and everything in between. She saw time and time again that when a logo or brand was created, the way it would work across marketing channels, such as on signage or websites wasn’t considered, often leading to brand confusion. With that in mind, she started unLOCKEd Company. Erica Graphic Designer Meet Erica, a graphic designer who knew she was destined for art from a young age. After a few high school co-ops, she realized that Graphic Design was her calling. Erica honed her skills at Conestoga College and started her design career. When she met Victoria at unLOCKEd, they quickly became partners in design crime. Since then, she's been obsessed with all things branding and website design, making everything look beautifully cohesive. Sarah Copywriter Sarah has been in love with writing ever since she was little. Her parents found pieces of paper with song lyrics and stories scrawled across them in crayons as soon as she could write. She nurtured her love all through her schooling, from essays for class to poetry contests in her free time. By the end of high school, she found an interest in marketing and communications and combined her passions through a double major at the University of Windsor. Sarah completes the team at unLOCKEd and allows the company to take on any project with their expertise in every area of marketing.
