Partner Brand Guidelines

Everything you need to talk about Callpad the right way. Follow these guidelines when creating content, co-marketing materials, or introducing Callpad to your customers.

VOICE & TONE

How We Sound

Callpad speaks like a trusted colleague — confident, warm, and real. We celebrate the small wins, focus on tangible outcomes, and always sound human. Every piece of content should feel like it was written by a person who cares, not a brand machine.

✓ Do say

"Voice assistant" · "Picks up when your team can't" · "Part of your team" · "Catches what they can't" · "More bookings, less admin" · "Helps you do more"

✗ Don't say

"AI receptionist" · "Replaces your staff" · Robot / robotic / automated · "You'll never need staff again" · Jargon: NLP, LLM, machine learning · Anything cold or corporate

Voice Principles

Open and warm — approachable, human, never stiff or corporate. Celebrates small wins — acknowledge the everyday moments that matter to business owners. Real-world outcomes — focus on results, not features. Makes life easier — less friction, more flow. Technology empowers people — help people do more, not replace them. Results-led — use real Callpad data over generic stats. Human first — every piece of content should feel like it was written by a person who cares.

VISUAL IDENTITY

Colour Palette

Our palette is intentionally restrained. White, light gray, and black form the foundation. Colour comes from the clay icons, not from backgrounds, borders, or text highlights. Backgrounds are always white or light gray. Never use dark backgrounds for primary content areas.

Usage Rules

Backgrounds are always white (#FFFFFF) or light gray (#F5F5F5). Never use dark backgrounds for primary content areas except for contrast slides in social media. Text is always black (#111) on light backgrounds. Secondary text uses mid gray (#666). Colour comes from the clay icons, not from backgrounds, borders, or text highlights. Keep it low-key. The clay icons are what pops.

LOGO & WORDMARK

Logo Usage

The Callpad logo is a 3D clay-style cube with a teal phone icon. The wordmark is set in Switzer, 700 weight. Always written as "Callpad" with a capital C, lowercase everything else. Never "CallPad", "CALLPAD", or "callpad".

✓ Do

Use on white or dark backgrounds. Maintain clear space around the logo. Use the "Callpad" wordmark alongside when context needs it. Keep the drop shadow for depth.

✗ Don't

Stretch, rotate, or distort the logo. Place on busy or clashing backgrounds. Alter the colours of the cube or icon. Use below 32px in digital contexts.

Clay Icon Rules

One icon per design, used as a hero accent, typically top-right corner. Always include the drop shadow for depth and consistency. Icons should be 80-140px on a 1080px canvas. The clay texture is what gives Callpad its visual personality. These are not decoration, they are brand identity. Never cluster multiple icons together.

PARTNER COMMUNICATION

Introducing Callpad to Customers

When talking about Callpad to your customers, lead with results. Keep it practical and let the numbers do the talking. Here are sample introductions you can use or adapt.

Results-Led Introduction

"A single location generated over £3,200 in bookings in just two weeks, entirely from calls that would have gone to voicemail. Callpad paid for itself within the first week."

Practical Explanation

"When your team's busy with clients and the phone rings, Callpad picks up. It checks your diary, books the appointment, and handles FAQs, so you never lose a client to a missed call."

Overcoming Objections

"It's not replacing anyone on your team. It's catching the overflow: the after-hours calls, the busy Saturdays, the lunch breaks. Within the first fortnight, over 330 calls were handled without a single team member picking up the phone."

✓ Do

Lead with real Callpad results and data. Focus on what it does for their business. Use "voice assistant" not "AI". Mention the payback timeline.

✗ Don't

Use generic internet stats when we have real data. Position it as replacing staff. Oversell or over-promise capabilities. Use jargon (AI, NLP, automation).
