Austin grew up fast. Brands here have to scale without losing their soul
Austin is the capital of Texas and home to the University of Texas, and over the last decades it has become one of the main technology hubs in the United States, often called Silicon Hills. Dell has its headquarters in nearby Round Rock, and Tesla built a large factory just outside the city.
Every March, SXSW brings together music, film and technology, and the Circuit of the Americas hosts the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. The city calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World, and events like Austin City Limits keep bars, venues and food trucks busy all year.
The informal motto Keep Austin Weird says a lot: locals value independent businesses with personality. Lima Brands works with Austin companies remotely, from a time zone just a few hours away, with video calls for every stage and files delivered digitally for print, signage and the web.
Your brand is much more than a logo. It's how your business is remembered.
Studies show that investing in differentiating and promoting your brand can increase a company's total revenue by up to 23%. Have you ever wondered how much your brand stands out in the market today?
