Workshop completed on 2/29/24.
Here is the mural to the characters workshop: https://app.mural.co/t/nava4113/m/nava4113/1709046331121/75fcf5ec68bc7fd70e32f196edd338619ff119d4?sender=sumithaiveettil7756
This was the following agenda:
What we are doing:
Since late 2023, the Grants team has been working on a unified cross-platform branding and identity initiative. We aim to create an impactful, cohesive brand identity for Grants.gov. By aligning the brand with our users, organizational goals, defining key differentiators, and creating compelling messaging, we seek to elevate the Grants.gov user experience and strengthen stakeholder engagement and consistency across all communication channels.
Where are we so far:
The team has delivered a strategic approach, brand audit, comms audit, and defined audiences for the branding and comms work. Next, we will be defining key brand characteristics (key words that define our brand), brand personalities (what kind of organization we want to be) and a voice and tone (the language we use to talk to our different audiences).
That’s what we need your help with.
What we will cover during the brand characters session

  • Brainstorm and synthesize the most important key words for different audiences
  • Explore brand personalities
  • Create moodboards that align with key words and brand personalities


What we won’t cover during the brand characters session
We are not yet ready to dig into branding questions about color, logo, typography, site design, etc. This session will not cover those topics. We have additional sessions booked for all of us in March and April, once the key brand personalities and voice and tone have been defined and agreed on.
