Branding for Nashville businesses
From Brazil, Lima Brands has built more than 100 brands for clients in six countries, from restaurants to healthcare. Nashville is a city of storytellers, and companies here compete with music, hospitality and health brands that already know how to tell a story well.
Selected work
Nashville lives on hospitality, entertainment and healthcare. We chose an events brand, a Japanese and Korean restaurant we branded in Kuwait, a pharmacy and a personal trainer's brand built around one person's reputation.
Music City knows a good story. Your brand needs one too
Nashville earned the name Music City through the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Labels, publishers, studios and managers still work out of Music Row. In an industry built on personality, artists and the businesses around them understand better than most that image, voice and consistency make a career.
Less visible to visitors, healthcare is one of the city's biggest industries. HCA Healthcare is headquartered here, and hundreds of health services companies, from clinic groups to software vendors, have grown around it. These firms sell to hospitals and patients who need to trust them quickly, which is a branding problem as much as a sales one.
Lower Broadway's honky-tonks, hot chicken and a steady stream of conventions and celebrations keep restaurants, bars and hotels busy and very competitive. Lima Brands works with Nashville businesses fully online, with video presentations and digital files ready for signage, menus, merch and social media.
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?

Music and entertainment
Labels, studios, venues and artists live on recognition. A coherent identity carries from the stage to streaming.
Healthcare and health services
Health companies sell trust to patients and hospitals, and a clear brand shortens that path.
Hospitality and nightlife
Bars, restaurants and hotels compete for the same visitors each night. The brand decides who walks in.
Food, drinks and merch
Sauces, spirits and souvenirs need packaging that tells a Nashville story without falling into cliché.
How we help companies in Nashville
Brand strategy
Positioning that gives a venue, label or health company a voice of its own, so it is remembered after the visit or the meeting.
Visual identity
Logos, colour and type designed to work on a neon sign, a stage backdrop, a T-shirt and a phone screen.
Packaging
Labels and packaging for food, spirits and merch, made to sell on the shelf and on the souvenir counter.
Rebranding
For healthcare and services firms that grew fast and now need a brand that matches the size of their contracts.
