As a maker/creator/specialist you’ve spent the better part of your career focusing all of your attention on perfecting what you’re good at, the talent you’ve built your business on. But somewhere along the way, investing time into marketing your business got pushed to the back burner.
hi, maria here!
When I started Inspired Studio I was determined to make sure our clients’ brands were an honest and true reflection of who they were. As a trained and skilled brand designer, I knew we couldn’t do our job well if we weren’t 100% clear on the basic foundational elements of what made our clients unique. For nearly 10 years we’ve focused in on creating a systematic process that allows us to do this quickly and efficiently... our clients come to us ready to make a transformation!
Seeing behind the curtains of hundreds of brands, we’ve seen a common thread—many entrepreneurs can’t quickly articulate what makes them different and the best at what they do. Now you can have access to exactly what happens behind the scenes BEFORE we pull out our sketchbook.
Learn how we intuitively tap into clients’ originality and differentiation... because it’s NOT our design skills, and it’s NOT our creativity bringing their brand to life. It IS their story that is awakened in the process.
UNDERSTAND YOUR BRAND DIGITAL COURSE
IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND THAT...
- Helps you uncover your Why: Knowing the passion behind your purpose will be your true North when you get stuck. There’s not a business (or marketing) decision that can’t be simplified when you’re reminded why you started your business in the first place.
- Defines your Marketplace Niche: Determined by either your why or ideal audience, knowing where you stand in the marketplace will help you position your messaging in a way that leaves you without competition.
- Intimately introduces your Ideal Audience: There are people out there needing, praying, and hoping for your product or service. We’ll get to know who they are, what fuels their desires, and why it’s important to speak their language.
- Engages Emotions: How your audience feels is the best way to connect with your ideal audience on a deeper level, building that trust and oh-so-sought-after brand loyalty.
- Masters your Marketing: After identifying and defining the key ingredients, this final recipe brings your “better brand” to the table—time and time again.
Many business owners skip right to the outward forms of marketing (shown on the right side of the diagram below).
But you simply can’t have a logo designed, have your website copy written, or develop a marketing strategy until you know every intimate detail about what makes your business exactly that: YOUR business.
By putting a little bit of time and effort into intentionally crafting your brand and properly positioning it for your ideal audience, you’ll quickly reap the rewards of more time, clearer messaging, and stronger connections. Building your brand’s story helps you convey your company’s quality, credibility, value, and experience.
Learn our inside-out process for building a clear, cohesive, and timeless brand story without spending thousands of dollars.
Your business already has a ‘brand’—whether you’ve intentionally created it or not.
A brand is not a logo, a website, your social media presence, or signage… it’s all of it, and then some! But mostly, it is the overall impression your business makes on consumers which allows them to know what to expect, distinguishing you from your competition. It is how you make them feel, if and how they feel connected to your business, how they speak about your business, and how loyal they become.
As a busy entrepreneur with customers to serve and services to fulfill, you cannot afford to let your guard down while your brand story is written by someone else. This is the moment you’ve lost control, making it that much more difficult (and expensive) to change perceptions.
be intentional
Even with the best of intentions, many solo-preneurs abandon the process of creating an intentional brand, allowing competitors to swoop in.
Purposfully building a clear, cohesive and timeless brand message for your business is something you need to get right the first time. Unfortunately there are very few small businesses owners doing this right.
✘ They’ve gotten caught up in the operations, working day-by-day, not taking a step back to see if their brand’s message is still relevant. They get stuck working IN the business instead of ON the business
✘ They skip right to the fun stuff, the logo, the signs, the printed materials and website design. Without knowing what the real purpose is behind their efforts, they take shots in the dark and blow their marketing budgets before they see the financial gain.
✘ They subconsciously find themselves falling back into their old habits and rhythms of their skill/trade.
✘ They know they lack a cohesive brand presence but aren’t sure how to fix it. So they work harder, with longer hours, hoping that will bring increase the bottom line.
If this sounds like you, that's okay. There is still a golden opportunity for you to jump in, clean up the mess, and become the master of your marketing using a step-by-step process so you don’t get stuck.
Creating a brand strategy that works for your business is not a job reserved for expensive experts and agencies—it is reserved for YOU.
Your brand should be an intentional combination of your passion, your authenticity, and most importantly, your truth.
Stop letting everyone else tell your story for you.
ever wondered...
...how your competition always seems to send out the right message at the right time, swiping your customers out from under your feet?
...how they confidently boast their business, unapologetically?
You’re noticing them because you wish you were doing it, too. You're wondering what they have that you don’t.
Their confidence comes from having clarity. And clarity comes from competency.
We don't mean competency in your craft, you obviously have that, we mean competency in you. Knowing you, knowing the why behind your passion, knowing not what you sell but the results you create.
Competency creates clarity, clarity creates confidence, confidence attracts customers.
How would the feelings of confidence and clarity influence how you market your business?

i'm your instructor
In my experience, I know one ultimate fact to be true: your business is a reflection of you.
So, who am I? I'm Maria Traino. I grew up the daughter of third-generation Italian restaurant owners who instilled two lifelong values in me: family + service. My grandfather always told my father, who always told my sisters and I, “treat everyone who comes in here the same—whether it’s the president or our neighbor.”
Service has been an everyday part of my life, from working in my family restaurant to creating one-of-a-kind brand identities for business owners thought the Northeast.
In 2012, I took a leap of faith and created Inspired Studio, a boutique brand design and strategic marketing agency located just outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Throughout the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs, CEOs, Marketing Directors, and craftsman who ooze with passion. I’ve spent tens of thousands of hours listening and pouring my skills into bringing beautiful brands to life.
Let me let you in on a secret… when clients hire a brand designer, they expect them to have all of the answers. The truth is… my job is to give them the building blocks to tell the story that already exists within them.
People inspire me, they always have. Their dreams, their stories, their passions, their motivation, the way they act on their ideas, and the difference they make in the world. Their unrelenting ability to always find their center, their true north, and keep trudging on, no matter the challenges—not just in business, but in life. Every single person possesses this drive, somewhere deep inside, whether they know it or not.
…and I know you have it deep within yourself, too! Let’s create an inspired brand, together, shall we?
