We grow purposeful and memorable brands that plant seeds in peoples’ hearts.

Meet Bert,
Your Brand Guy 🌿

What's up! I’m Elbert D. Foster, the founder and lead seed planter of Foster Branding. I’m a brand strategist and designer from Detroit, Michigan. My inspiration comes from my own roots – you have to know where you came from to know where you’re going, right?

That’s the same approach I take to branding.
‍
My process focuses on getting to know you and your mission first, digging into the rich soil of what your brand stands for and using that to guide you through the growth, all the way to a vibrant brand that gives back. You don't have to worry about agency vibes or being treated like just another client. You also won’t walk away with a pieced-together brand that still lacks clarity and deep meaning.

I’ll be your direct contact and partner in this journey so you walk away with distinguished branding that you’re stoked to present to the world.

About Foster Branding

Brands We've Nurtured

How we grow brands that last.

We know that creating a successful brand isn’t easy. If it was, everyone could DIY an eye-catching, vibrant brand on their own that impacts hundreds, if not thousands and millions.

That’s why we go beyond just creating generic visuals for your business that look like they could have been pulled from stock images and template color palettes…

We build it from the ground up with you, your values, and your mission in mind. This isn’t a drive-thru process – it’s a careful collaboration for good reason: To flourish a compelling and recognizable brand of substance.

Love from the brand garden.

The creative process is so much more than creating a logo or two and having a website designed. Bert thoroughly understands the emotional journey his clients are walking in and pushes when needed, but gives space to breathe and reflect as well.

He listens to clients to truly understand their vision in a way that allows him to create through their lens. Truly a phenomenal experience!

MAP Coaching & Consulting

I could think of every positive word to describe working with Elbert, and it still wouldn't do it justice or provide proper insight into how spectacular my experience has been.

His intellect, attention to detail, and incredible vision are unlike anyone I've ever worked with in the branding industry. It is important to him to work collaboratively alongside you to help build out YOUR vision.

Bert from Foster Branding over-delivered on helping my company get our initial brand package together. I was nervous about selecting a company to work on our identity and didn’t have much direction to give him. That being said, he met me where I was, explaining the process, and working through it with me. He takes much pride in his work and brings great energy to every call. Even when you’re deep into iterations since working with him, I recommend him and will continue to.
