Meg Frampton is a multi-talented rockstar/jeweler/artist/creator. She has created a very unique jewelery line, Chandler the Robot, which she markets online. Her backround in music and art boosted the sales of Chandler for a while. When she realized the potential of significant growth, she asked for my help to make irt happen for good. This is a simplified branding summary I created for her, which highlights the main areas to work on, giving her some simple tools to use and think along.

3. Typeface
Artsy, minimalistic, stylish, clear, fun with a
slightly vintage feeling
Reflects purity and has a gender neutral apply.
It might be considered as slightly female touch,
but not to a big extent.
The typeface fits Chandler and the jewelry line,
but with that it can have its limitations in case
of new products or differentiation as a brand
family.
Layout
Structured, easy to navigate
The message/entry on the side needs
more space.
No full screen option.
Writing style
Frendly, sympathic, caring, honest and authentic
Also on the „Girl on the Road„ blog, the style is really smooth, fluent,
with good description of the details. The personal touch helps the vi-
sitors/customers feeling closer, having a warm, authentic relationship
with the brand.
Showing reaction, being genuine about it is great. Like `Guys, I know
you‘re out there and I‘m doing my best.` We are family. We are friends.

5. Chandler‘s (and Meg‘s)
world
Photography
Very good quality pictures, each one has its feeling and theme
(adventure, being cute, product presentation, etc.).
Mostly vintage, artsy look.
Although the pictures have high quality and nice atmosphere,
they don‘t represent a strong, unified style, which would make
the brand immediately recognizable and associated with it. (eg.
vintage, retro look, cute and pure, etc.)
Chandler is...
curious ∙ small ∙ copper ∙ light ∙ cute ∙ music ∙ little ∙ ro-
bot ∙ jewelry ∙ art ∙ Meg ∙ Dia ∙ nature ∙ original ∙ vintage

6. „What does the customer get from the product?„ ...as a product and brand
Benefit:
Chandler is a unique piece of jewelry, which cannot be found in big retail stores.
Therefore it makes me look cool, artsy and hip, a person who knows hidden little
fashion gems.
I have and wear the work of my favourite artist, which gets me connected to her.
„Why does the consumer buy the product?„
Reason why:
Chandler and the connected sets are a limited edition jewelry series, which has only one
source. From the creation process to the wrapping and shipping it is done and controlled
by Meg.
Tonality: Hip, artsy, unique, authentic, cute
„Style and atmosphere of the product (and its communication.)„
Brand essence:
An original piece of jewelry created by a talented young artist on the rise, with a
unique design, which gives Chandler his authentic character.
„The brand essence characterizes what a brand stands for in the minds
of customers and stakeholders. It embodies the brand‘s core competenci-
5.
es, advantages, culture and values.„

7. The SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis helps understanding where
Chandler is situated from a marketing/branding standpoint.

8. So what‘s next?
#1Brand architecture
Depending on the objectives, how should Meg, the products, and the jewelry line be
structured and presented as a brand. It is a fine tuning for broader opportunities
in the future.
#2 Finding objectives
Setting smart, achievable goals for the brand
#3 Creating strategy
Once the goal and the branding foundation is set, the strategy describes the path,
how to achieve these goals.
7.

9. Brand Architecture Proposal
The goal of the Brand Architecture is to...
...eliminate limitations
...embrace Meg‘s artistic personality
...create a structured and logical environment which is easy to follow
...target and segment broader audiences
...utilize all the internal and external potential (see SWOT analysis)
...create a good and stable foundation for future opportunities
Think about these while you keep reading. I‘ve based my idea on these criteria, so it is not
self-serving, but for a more important purpose.

13. By going through the SWOT again, you can see, how I used it to develop the idea. Some of them will be
used in the strategy part (how to promote the business), some of them remained unchanged. I highli-

14. Finding Smart Objectives
Since the Brand Architecture creates a good foundation for you, it is now
easier to outline these objectives. A stable starting point allows a peek into
the future, depending on the goal.
These are fictive scenarios, giving you an idea, in which directionyou
could start developing to.
Based on the mentioned structure, I‘ve outlined three possible objectives
for you.
All three inclue the 1, 3 and 5 year scenarios, where you can be within that
period of time with a good strategy.
13.

15. #1 Going into retail and mass distribution
• Making the jewelry line available for the public audience
nationwide.
• Working with big retailers, who distribute and sell the
pieces in large quantities.
• The price lowers, but the number of customers multiplies In 5-10 years:
fast. Clothing line, cologne,
and other lines are crea-
ted by Meg, which became
a well-known and widely
popular brand in the US
or even Worldwide.
In 3 years:
Chandler by Meg and the other lines are
top sellers at several retailers.
Meg starts to become a recognized and
known designer/artist.
In a year:
The first retailer is chosen and the co-
operation contract is in discussion, or
signed already.
14.

16. #2 Going International
• Reaching out to the international audience, without going
into retail.
• This option would open up many creative opportunities. (japanese
Chandler, Canadian dancing bot, African Cowboy, etc.)
• Keeping it unique, limited edition, smaller quantities, still for a In 5-10 years
higher price. Meg, the brand and her
products are worldwide
known and beloved.

kets. There are special lines and themed

gner.

15.

17. #3 Building your own Empire
• By building a brand the opportunity arises to build a company.
• A little store can be opened, followed by many more with smart strategy.
• Basically it means to extend the online store with a real one, and with
many more at several good locations.
In 5-10 years:
• The control would stay in your hands and there are no limitations on the Meg Frampton chain
is present nationwide,
the long run either. and ships worldwide.
You can still design je-
welry or extend the line

the second and third stores are up and The brand value rises
running, high.
In a year:
You open up the first store at a well cho-
sen location adn start promoting it.

18. Marketing Strategy
Once the branding foundation and the goal and is set, the
strategy describes the path, how to achieve the objectives.
That‘s going to be the next step.
