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.
what we do
Building a strong brand takes more than a logo or a list of services. It takes clarity, intention, and a steady path forward. At Foster Branding, we work with entrepreneurs and small businesses who are building something meaningful, often from the ground up. Our role is to bring structure to your ideas, help you see what matters most, and shape a brand that can grow with you.
Let’s dig in.

our method
Side by side, we dig into your brand foundation, plant the proper seeds, and discover the essentials.
We take your brand above ground by creating an authentic and meaningful visual identity for you.
We help bring your new brand into fruition and ensure it grows thoroughly and elegantly.
Allow us to become an extension of your team and continue to grow and nurture your brand.
At Foster Branding, we want to see you succeed in attracting not just anyone with your brand, but the right ones.
To get there, you need someone who knows how to cultivate that “this is ME” feeling when it comes to your design, website, and photos – and that requires a deep understanding of what lies beneath the soil of your business.

You’ve come to the right place because simply put, I know what it takes to build something of your own from the ground up.

Who Are We For?
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!
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.
Foster Branding is truly exceptional! I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with Bert's business acumen and approach. His methods are purposeful, thoroughly planned, and tailored to each individual client.
Bert assists you in uncovering your aspirations, mission, and more, and works tirelessly to bring them to fruition I highly recommend Foster Branding to anyone seeking to cultivate growth, realize a vision, and develop a brand.
