About Us

Branding180 was an entity thought about in 2009 by a group of people sitting in a room discussion re-branding opportunities as their current employer was beginning to fall victim to the recession that was in full force.  The idea was that Branding180 could be a one-stop-shop for all things marketing.  The 180 part?  Branding360 was the original thought.  But a 360 keeps you going in the same direction.  180 would take you in a different direction.

The idea of Branding180 sat dormant for another 6 years, as that group of people pursued other opportunities.  In 2015 the idea arose again while the owner sat in a cubicle at a different company, and realized there might be a new opportunity with an old name.  Branding180 was resurrected as a part-time endeavor, eventually becoming a full-time entity in summer of 2019.  

Branding180 merged with New Hype Solutions in May of 2020 to become Evolution Hype, Inc.  This was a blessing since the world pandemic was at its height at that time.  However, after some amazing growth opportunities presented themselves, those partners decided it best to return to their own identities.  Effective August 1, 2021, Branding180 is back to full strength, and all are extremely excited for what the future holds!

The vision of Branding180 is to be the leader at helping our clients tell their stories. 

Branding180 is built to work with companies of all size, from small start-ups to large corporations.  Great pride is taken in the individual service provided to all clients, with customer satisfaction the top priority.  With services and solutions continually changing, we have made a commitment to continue learning about options available to help our clients achieve the best return on their investment. 

Our goal is to get to know each client on a much deeper level than just a transactional relationship.  If we know who you are, your values, and your goals, we are able to help tell your story the way you want it told.  We want to help tell your story, so please consider letting us help you by "doing the standard different."

Branding180 has made it a point to partner with other like-minded companies in Northeast Wisconsin, which allows our clients to benefit from experts in multiple areas of marketing and branding solutions.  These partnerships include solutions in the way of video production, marketing consultation, social media management, professional photography, trade show solutions, and custom print solutions, and more.  The overall goal is for a client to have the best experience possible, and these forged partnerships achieve that goal.
