Business Model Benchmark & Concept Website Training Materials
Founder-led, end-to-end. Kaans is the second company I founded — a training and consultancy firm in design and technology. Unlike a typical branding engagement, I owned the entire process: defining what the business actually does, validating it against the market, and only then designing the brand and digital presence to carry that strategy.

Transformamos conocimiento en crecimiento

Kaans exists to help organizations turn applied knowledge into measurable growth — through strategic consulting, corporate training, organizational development, and in-company programs. Before any visual decision was made, I had to answer a harder question: what is this company, who does it serve, and why would anyone choose it over an established consultancy?

02 · Business Model & Benchmark

Building the business before building the brand

I started with the business itself — defining the service portfolio, target client profile, and revenue model, then benchmarking established players in corporate training and organizational consulting across Latin America to find where Kaans could differentiate. The result shaped a four-pillar service model that became the backbone of everything that followed, from the website's information architecture to the sales conversation.

Consultoría Estratégica

02

03
Desarrollo Organizacional
Fortalecimiento de capacidades internas para impulsar el talento y la cultura.
04
Programas In Company
Capacitación personalizada dentro de la empresa, con resultados medibles.

This same logic — diagnóstico, diseño, implementación, evaluación — became Kaans' signature methodology, repeated consistently across the website, the training manuals, and the sales presentation, so that every client touchpoint reinforces the same proven process.

03 · Brand Identity

Confident, structured, human

The Kaans identity needed to feel credible to corporate decision-makers while staying warmer than a traditional consulting firm. The logomark pairs a bold, lowercase wordmark with a four-petal flower icon — a symbol of growth and transformation that doubles as a flexible graphic asset across every application, from favicon to building signage.

The palette is built almost entirely in navy and blue tones — deliberately avoiding the generic "corporate gray" — paired with Poppins as the primary display typeface for warmth and approachability, and Inter as the secondary typeface for body copy and data-dense content.

04 · Website

The business model, made navigable

The Kaans website translates the four-pillar service model directly into its information architecture — Inicio, Nosotros, Servicios, Programas, Recursos, Blog, Contacto. The homepage leads with the core value proposition and a logo wall of trusted clients (Bimbo, Coppel, Liverpool, Grupo Lamosa, Comex, BBVA), establishing credibility before the visitor scrolls past the fold.

Kaans website — Nosotros (About) and Contacto (Contact) pages

Nosotros — mission, vision, purpose, values, the Diagnóstico→Diseño→Implementación→Evaluación method, and team · Contacto — form, contact details, and scheduling CTA

05 · Training Materials & Presentations

The product itself, designed as a deliverable

Because Kaans' core offering is training, the printed and digital materials participants actually receive needed to be as polished as the brand's marketing. I designed a system of participant manuals and workbooks (e.g. "Liderazgo que transforma resultados," "Comunicación estratégica") along with a modular sales presentation template — covering company overview, methodology, services, impact metrics, and case studies — built so any consultant on the team can assemble a consistent, on-brand client pitch.

06 · Digital Strategy & Social Media

Consistent positioning, every channel

The digital strategy extends the brand voice across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn with platform-specific formats and tones — educational tips and culture content for Instagram, case studies and regional reach (+25,000 people trained across Latin America) for Facebook, and data-driven, B2B-focused posts for LinkedIn. Every template reinforces the same five principles: educational value, clear and direct messaging, consistent professional design, colors that convey trust, and a relentless focus on measurable results.

Kaans is the project where I owned every layer of the business at once — strategy, brand, and execution — the same way I now help other founders and organizations think about theirs. Building it taught me, firsthand, what it takes to turn a concept into a company people trust.
