The Four Phases of the Creative Process

LAUNCHING A NEW BRAND is a process

Following the natural cycles of the creative process we offer support at each phase of the journey to ensure your business will thrive in it’s environment.

In the conception phase, the idea for a new brand is conceived, usually stemming from market research, identifying a need, or a creative spark.
Here we sew the first seeds of your vision.
We offer support with:
- Name creation
- Brand Strategy
- Ideation (check out our new 1:1 container ‘Conception’) this is ideal for those who are not quite ready for the design phase. Click here for more information.

The incubation period refers to the time between conception and delivery, where the project undergoes significant development and maturation. In brand launching, there is also a period of development and refinement, including product development, designing the brand identity, creating marketing materials, and establishing a strong brand presence.
This stage is where alot of the services that Luminova offers is executed and where the real magic begins to take place.
We offer support with:
- Logo Design Identity
- Branding Development
- Website Design
- Photography
- Digital Collage Imagery

After some time of incubating and developing the ideas, your brand and website is ready to be birthed and unleashed on the world!
Launching a new brand involves a "labor" phase, which includes executing marketing campaigns, generating a buzz, and officially introducing the brand to the target audience through various channels.
We offer support here with:
- Social Media Launch Graphics
- Cover images & Profile pics
- Newsletter assets and template design

After birthing your new brand, your business will require care, nurturing, and support to thrive and grow. This translates into ongoing marketing efforts, customer engagement, and continuous improvement to build brand awareness, loyalty, and sustainable growth.
How do you generate sales and traffic to your site? Is there other audiences you might not be aware of yet that you could be marketing too?
To continue to thrive and bloom we have aligned with a Digital Marketing agency that can support you with the following:
- Content Creation for Social
- Google Adwords
- Digital Marketing Strategy
