Mastering the art of brand storytelling.

 

Hey there, welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Christian Forbes, and I’m a brand strategist, copywriter, and creative director based out of Minnesota. I specialize in helping business owners uncover their story and share it with the world, whether that starts with the design of a logo, website refresh, brand showreel, or any other brand activation that empowers businesses to create meaningful relationships with their audience.

My work is driven by the belief that everyone has a purpose, a story that’s being written. Ever since I was a kid, my parents were always eager to support any business idea or dream I could come up with, and unknowingly light the flame to what would become an unquenchable fire for entrepreneurship. Through these experiences I’ve built a passion for helping other business leaders live out their vision and create brands that aren’t just beautiful, but authentic to who they are and why they exist.

Meaningful Partnerships

Through the years I’ve had the honor of working with some incredible organizations, and even more incredible people. Together, we’ve been able to build brands that aren’t only unique, but truly meaningful to its audience. My experience ranges from a variety of different markets including beauty, education, non-profits, lifestyle, sports, food, B2B, and more. While most of my work consists of new brands and rebrands, I’m always happy to jump in and support brand activations to build on identities that have already been established.
