Visibilidad y conexiones: Diseño de identidad de marca para microemprendimientos

This study reviews the design methodology implemented through the outreach initiative titled “Estrategia de branding y educación administrativa financiera orientada a las Unidades de Economía Popular y Solidaria en la Provincia de Pichincha,” conducted by students from the Graphic Design program at Universidad UTE. The project aimed to address communication challenges faced by micro enterprises through strategic brand management solutions. The findings suggest that effective brand creation emerges from collaborative dialogue between graphic designers and micro-entrepreneurs, enabling the accurate representation of the business’s core values. Furthermore, the theoretical analysis highlights that proper visual identity management fosters sustainable and meaningful relationships between UEPS (Unidades de Economía Popular y Solidaria) representatives and their clients, potentially enhancing economic development. The study concludes that branding serves as a critical tool for increasing the visibility and impact of small businesses within contemporary commercial dynamics.
