BRAND IDENTITY
A brand identity is so much more than just a logo! I specialize in creating living brands.
With focus on your brand strategy I develop your unique identity through visual communication across all platforms.
BRAND STRATEGY AND COACHING
Many startups find the prosess of defining a brand strategy to be difficult. Through creative workshops or personal coaching we define what is essential for your brand to come alive and create action for that to happen.
CREATIVE FACILITATION
My creative facilitation methods comes from design thinking, teaching art for several years and applied improvisation. I love to facilitate in brand strategy.
In my collaborative project Changing Minds I also work with teambuilding and innovation with art as a transformative tool.

The branding of MyProduction
"Sissel Hovden came highly recommended for the branding of our new company; MyProduction.
We were newly established, but had at that time collected 6 different business environments and corporate cultures under the same umbrella.
Previously, these environments had been competitors. We needed to unite them as well as create a strong new identity.
Sissel was responsible for running this process; from analysis, branding strategy, teambuilding, user-testing and design all the way to the launch. She pulled in the just the right people and environments when in need.
We are very satisfied with the result, and can highly recommend Sissel to anyone in need of a branding process."

VIEW Group har i perioden 2015/2016 arbeidet med rebranding av sin profil. Dette arbeidet har innbefattet utarbeidelse av ny logo, hjemmesider, profilhåndbok, profil på kontrakts og salgsmateriell samt utsmykning av kontorlokaler. Fokuset i denne prosessen har hele tiden vært kundens opplevelse av selskapets tjenesteleveranse og selskapets ønske om å spisse sitt budskap ut i markedet. Sissel Hovden har i denne prosessen vært en sentral bidragsyter ved utformingen av konsernets logo samt å formidle selskapets identitet og konsepter gjennom form og farger. Hun har i sin uttrykksform klart å skape en bro mellom praktisk hverdag og konsernets langsiktige strategi. Vi kan gi våre beste anbefalinger.
