Silva Brand

While Fortune 500 companies are able to hire multinational branding firms, startups haven’t had the resources to realize the full potential and power of their brands. Realizing the need in the market, 20-year branding veteran, Tom Silva, has launched Silva Brand, a brand consultancy and marketing agency in downtown Chicago focused on the SMB category. Silva was previously Senior Vice President of Marketing & Strategy for The Alter Group where he branded a slew of successful companies, including EnTrust Realty Advisors and Alter+Care, as well as downtown high-rises and large suburban developments. He will be joined by two alliance partners: international award-winning designer, David Day, and Andy Swindler, a leading expert on interactive media.

Using its proprietary Brand Discovery, Brand Definition and Brand Transformation processes, Silva Brand takes clients from initial goal and vision setting all the way through strategy, to their ultimate visual expression and marketing collateral.

A business strategist and creative director to small-to-medium-sized businesses for two decades, Silva’s work has been recognized by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, the International Academy of the Visual Arts and the Web Marketing Association. His writing about business and branding has been featured in numerous publications, including in Thomson Reuters’ Inside the Minds series of books and in his regular column for the Huffington Post.

Silva holds a Bachelors in Marketing from Long Island University and an MAPH in the Humanities from the University of Chicago. For more information about Tom, Dave, Andy or Silva Brand, please check out www.silvabrand.com.
