A brand inspires loyalty both externally from its clients and internally from employees and management. Together with the leadership of your company, we lay the four cornerstones of the foundation for your brand.
With a multi-disciplinary proprietary process, we decode your brand's DNA based on thorough analysis of a variety of factors such as your business model, financial plans, unique value propositions, growth strategies, go-to-market tactics, target audience, culture, etc.We distill your brand's past, present and especially the vision for its future into brand essence.

What's in a name? - The essence of a brand, distilled to its core. What cannot be expressed by words is completed by visuals. Visuals based on brand DNA magnify and multiply the verbal. A picture is worth a thousand words. If a brand is like a human body, after we decode its DNA, we "put the flesh on the bones": "flesh" consists of stories and verbal messaging, "bones" are the brand structure and strategies.
We tell your stories visually, with high quality brand promotional videos, based on a brand's DNA script (after we first decode it together with you). The human mind processes images 60,000 times faster than words. Your "classic" brand promotional video anchors your website, your social media platforms, and even your email signature block.
We BRAND Your Website Substantively and Technically, with Verbal & Visual Content, Custom Design & Development. We turn your website into your brand ambassador. Based on a brand's DNA (see DECODE Page) and visual identity (see CREATE - Identity Page), we tell your brand stories with Google keywords with brand-enhancing images on your website.

The journey Joanne took me on, to uncover the grounding principles of who I am and why I am in my profession, gave me the clarity as to my whys. The extensive work, introspective research on who I am, who I have become, is truly empowering. Joanne helped me from my LinkedIn profile, board of director's bio and resume with clear structures, strategies and precise language. She utilized her artistry to capture the essence of my visual brand with her photographic skills as well. I highly recommend her if you need coaching with LinkedIn, personal branding, or business branding, for individuals or companies

Joanne Tan and her team at 10 Plus Brand have provided me and my business uniquely excellent services. She helped me to identify and articulate what is what is particular about my services--the DNA of my business--and completely remade my LinkedIn profile. We're currently working to update my website. Joanne mixes her proven process with a customized sensitivity so as to notice all important nuances and details. Her persistence and single-minded focus make me feel like I'm her only client! If you want to work with someone who's operating in the sweet spot of her skills, creativity and experience

Joanne is one of the most insightful experts in personal and business branding. She was strategic and visionary in identifying my unique value propositions and in relating them to my future goals. She asked thought-provoking questions in a caring and helpful way during the process of rebranding my LinkedIn profile, bio and resume. I felt genuinely inspired and empowered. After each brainstorming session, I gained clarity about myself, my career goals and what to do to achieve my goals. Her insights and talents were invaluable for anyone seeking others' wisdom about themselves. Thank you Joanne

Joanne has been helping me to define why, what and who I want to be, bringing clarity and definition in developing my business brand. Joanne has helped me "get real" with what I want my business to be, how I want it to be portrayed to the public, and the message I want to deliver. She is exceptional at the ground floor engagement of marketing tactics, that helps growing my business with specific actions, not just rah rah rah. I am looking forward to have her teams creating my brand promotional video, visuals, and website. Thank you Joanne!

I have included a picture for you to see the interaction I had with the owner. I do not appreciate being told that leaving negative reviews is a hobby when that is simply not true and the picture I included is proof of the rude interaction I had with the owner. Instead of letting me know that she was interested in my business and wanted to work with me she flat out said: "you get what you pay for, I am not the cheapest". At least apologize and I would have deleted my review, instead, you are being even ruder.
I stand by my 1 star review and I hope this helps with your interactions in

All these reviews seem so fake. My experience with Joanne was terrible. The woman does not know what she is talking about and has no knowledge of marketing. She is too focused on bragging about herself and badmouthing other marketing companies. Very unprofessional. Would have given her -ve stars if Yelp allowed me to.

Joanne did a wonderful job in helping me create and launch my new venture with a great brand message. She is one of a kind! In addition to her skills as a highly intuitive branding expert, she can get to the core of a business and articulate the perfect message in just the right words. In addition, she is a top-notch photographer and video producer. The value of Joanne's services is extremely unique and I highly recommend her.

I was introduced to Joanne by another business person that I trust. What she did for the other person was superb. She uses a very different approach that captures the essence of what your business stands for. Her work with my company, and advice she gave us, was great. It was hard hearing some of it, but it was all true, and we are better for it.

I had the opportunity to hire Joanne for my business's video (currently on my homepage for your viewing pleasure - just search "10+ Visual Branding BH Tech Connection" - and she was amazing to work with! She asked so many detailed questions throughout the process that I felt like I learned more about my business than she did. I'm overwhelmingly pleased with the results of the video, as it's also helped me to refine my messaging on other materials, from my website to my business cards. If you want QUALITY scripting and video done, look no further than 10+ Visual Branding

The whole process of working with Joanne gave me such confidence that I wrote 3 new pieces of business, while completing brainstorming and brand-honing work with Joanne.
Joanne is a great mix of left and right brain. She works with the right brain and digs deeply into your values and business operations. Then she uses her artistry to create a brand for you. What started as a multi-page questionnaire got boiled down to a one page script. The video, website, headshot, logo, tagline, business card design & printing, 1-sheet flyer design and printing, and bi-monthly blog writing...all bring out

Joanne was a great help when I needed to update my professional photo on my website and LinkedIn. She understood my audience and how to capture the essence of who I am. She’s also become a trusted advisor for branding and imagining, as she has a lot of ideas and is selfless about offering her knowledge and expertise. I’m very happy with the picture we selected (it was hard to pick just one!) and will continue to use Joanne as my personal photographer and videographer.

Joanne Tan is a force of nature! Feisty, highly intelligent, and deliberative, she brought to the table a unique set of experiences in business, marketing, law, and art with a passion for finding, defining and expressing my unique branding for my Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine practice in Lafayette and San Ramon.
She then translated this into the development of a script and screenplay, a process that endured 7 or so revisions, each time sharpening, clarifying, and simplifying my branding message and enhancing the appeal for my demographic market.
I'm quite pleased with the final video

I worked with Joanne to establish a brand for my business. Joanne has been amazing! She listened to me as I described my business. We went through many options to determine the final product. She made me look at my business in a whole other light. I was focusing on the outputs of embroidery instead of the reasons clients need embroidery. One of the principle outputs from the process is a three minute video for my website, pfbiz.com. This was a fun experience. Standing in front of a camera is something I had never done. She made me feel at ease and incorporated my brand, equipment, employee and

Highly recommend Joanne Tan Visual Branding, for content marketing on line. Joanne Tan produced a promotional video for me, starting with messaging consulting, script/copy writing, by summarizing over 20 years of my extensive professional business litigation experience. She is extremely intelligent, creative, and delights in helping others. She also directed, and voice-coached me to be my best on camera, for social media and website marketing, which created powerful business identity and online presence.

I truly enjoyed Joanne's approach to shooting my business portrait. She is warm and welcoming, she invites input, she works efficiently but not in a rushed manner, she works until she gets it right (she gets it right very quickly), and as an artist, she understands how light (natural and projected) plays on various complexions.
If you're looking to upgrade your photos so that they match what you look like now instead of what you looked like 20 years ago (yeah..that was me), while still portraying you in the a very complementary way, give Joanne a call! I highly recommend her, and

Joanne Tan took our pregnancy photos for our fifth child. Never did that before, but thought we would give it a try for fun. The session was fun and we decided to make a bit of a joke out of ourselves. Joanne was hilarious and added to the .mood we were trying to capture. She takes her time, but the product was great.

I don't like taking photos, my smiles are usually forced and awkward. Thanks to Joanne, the photo for my LinkedIn account is better than I hoped for. She was patient, and comfortable to be around. She has a great sense of knowing what you're after and how to get the photo (and your face) there. I definitely recommend her services.
