Looking for branding in Peterborough? Better Businesses is a Canadian agency helping Peterborough companies grow through branding that is measured on results, not activity. Peterborough is home to Peterborough Regional Health Centre, the region's largest employer with more than 3,100 staff, and its healthcare and education businesses compete in one of Ontario's most active markets. We help you win that competition.

Peterborough is a university and hospital city on the Otonabee River in central Ontario, and its customers have plenty of choice. A clear, distinctive brand is how Peterborough businesses in healthcare, education and manufacturing stop competing on price and start being chosen on trust.

We research your Peterborough competitors, define positioning that owns a specific space in the Ontario market and design a logo and identity system that works on a storefront in Downtown, a vehicle on the highway and a phone screen.

Deliverables cover everything a growing Peterborough business needs: logo files in every format, colour and typography systems, business cards, signage, social templates, ad creative and a guidelines document your whole team can follow.

What is branding?

Branding is the strategic process of defining how a business is perceived: its positioning, name, messaging, logo, colours, typography and visual style. Graphic design turns that identity into marketing materials, digital assets and print collateral.

Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (City of Peterborough (census subdivision)). Census Profile

Peterborough had 83,651 residents in 2021, up 3.2% from 81,032 in 2016, in 35,977 occupied homes on just 64.76 square kilometres. The median household income in 2020 was $71,500, so value and price matter to many shoppers.

The city is compact and anchored by a large hospital, a university, a college and global manufacturers. Businesses can reach most residents in a short drive, but they compete for attention in a tight, word-of-mouth market.

In a slow-growing city where population rose 3.2% after 2016, branding should build a familiar, trusted local name that earns referrals in a community of about 84,000 people.
