“Unbelievable experience working with JDL Media. James has such an artistic eye and will capture the most beautiful shots under any circumstance. He is friendly, professional, and not even the rain will stop him! My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with him for our engagement pictures and some headshots for our jobs and were dealt with a very rainy weekend, however, he made the whole experience so fun, easy and even suggested some amazing ideas with umbrellas which turned out fantastic! Do not hesitate on hiring him, you will love the results!“

What is brand-building photography?
A brand is an intangible identity that a business takes on based on the perception and experiences that a person has with the company through their interactions together (digitally or in-person). The process of brand building is the actions a company/individual takes to develop that brand. Brand-building photography is the creation of customized images that are planned and carefully curated to showcase your unique brand. Compelling photography is the number one tool in your brand-building strategy.

Low Engagement
When you post something on your social media accounts, you never really get any engagement from your audience. Sure, you get some likes, but that hardly ever translates to new followers and brand awareness. In today’s ever-evolving world of marketing, social media apps like Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and Tiktok are major contributors to your branding success because of the attention they’re able to capture. Because Instagram’s algorithm decides who’s post makes it to others newsfeeds, you need your audience to engage, comment and share your posts for more visibility. They’re more compelled to comment and share if the content you post can build a strong emotional connection.

Poor Consumer Awareness
The goal of brand building is not just to be noticed, but to be remembered. To be trusted and to connect with potential clients, on an emotional level. A brand needs authenticity to stand out, where stock photos and a bad slogan just won’t cut it. You need to portray the company’s culture naturally. A good photographer can emulate this with brand storytelling. Nowadays, people are quick to point out if a company isn’t being genuine.

Wrong Consumer Perception That Your Products or Services are Low Quality
Having a weak brand can give consumers the impression that you are careless and that you don’t know what you’re doing. If customers think you are careless, they normally wouldn’t trust you to do the job. It’s like showing up for an interview in sweatpants. Once a little doubt is planted in a customer’s mind, you have to work twice as hard to regain that trust. We can showcase your skills and display them in a manner that fits your business plan/ model. We consult you before even accepting the project, just to make sure we’re a good fit for each other and that we’re able to understand your concepts and values enough to elevate your brand.
