The modern business world has been overtaken by large corporations, hustling to be the most productive and efficient on a mass level. But, what about the small businesses that drive the community and values? The businesses in Colorado that make cities and towns what they are? At Fix & Form, we value businesses small and large, but most importantly strive to help each Colorado small business create branding that resonates.
Why Small Business Branding Matters, Especially in Colorado
If you are a business in Colorado or an avid marketing geek, you have most likely heard of the infamous 16th Street Mall landmark rebranding project. In the goal of a transformation to take a landmark and transform it to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving city, the most classic example of change and tradition collided. Even more so, the value of brand strategy become extremely evident. The project that was outsourced of the US created a conflict with the homegrown vibe, look, and feel that wanted to be retained. The businesses that thrive through that kind of shift are the ones with a strong sense of who they are. We learned from this project that no matter the size of your business, without knowing your brand and what anchors you, even a small shift can create monumental outcomes. Especially in Colorado, the balance between keeping up, standing out, all while keeping your foundation in tack creates a challenge. A challenge that branding agencies like Fix & Form can help tackle.

What is Brand Strategy, Really?
As Forbes describes it, “A brand strategy is a complete guide, a comprehensive road map that helps outline the details of your business. It includes your brand’s mission, values, vision, target market and needs. A brand strategy is communicated to your team members to help tailor and direct their efforts toward a united goal.” In other words, brand strategy is not just a deck or a deliverable—it’s the connective tissue that links your purpose to your presence.
A well-developed strategy answers the essential questions that often go unasked in the rush to market: Who are we here for? What do we stand for? Why does it matter? And how do we show up in ways that are authentic, impactful, and repeatable?

Highlighting Colorado Small Business Branding
Take Odell Brewing Company, for example. What started as a family-owned brewery has become a regional powerhouse—not just because of great beer, but because of a great strategy. Odell built its brand on a foundation of sustainability, employee ownership, and community giving. Their “Charity of the Month” program turns everyday purchases into social good, creating loyal fans who believe in what Odell stands for just as much as what they brew.
Another great example of small business branding is The Real Dill’s. Their brand strategy is rooted in authenticity, quality, and community connection. By focusing on small-batch, handcrafted products, they position themselves as a trusted, artisanal alternative in the crowded fermented foods market. Their messaging is playful yet sincere, balancing a fun-loving personality with a commitment to health and sustainability. This clear and consistent brand voice helps them attract and retain customers who value transparency and real ingredients. Further, The Real Dill leverages their Denver roots and local partnerships to deepen community ties, making their brand not just about great pickles but about belonging and shared values. Their strategy aligns product innovation, storytelling, and customer experience, creating a brand that feels both fresh and familiar.
