Sound familiar?

When brand strategy helps.

  • Customers struggle to see the difference between you and your competitors.
  • You end up competing on price because your value isn’t clear.
  • Your website, social media and pitch all say slightly different things.
  • You’re launching, rebranding or moving upmarket and want to get it right first time.

What’s included

What the work can include.

Your proposal confirms the exact scope, so you only pay for what you need.

  • Positioning

    Who you’re for, what you stand for and why you’re the better choice.

  • Value proposition and messaging

    Your core message, the proof behind it and how to say it.

  • Tone of voice

    How you sound, with examples your team can follow.

  • Brand identity brief

    Direction for logo, colour and type, ready to hand to a designer.

  • Brand guidelines

    A short, practical guide that keeps everything consistent.

What it isn’t

Strategy comes first. Logo design, photography and website builds aren’t part of a standard brand strategy project. If you need them, we’ll discuss the options in your proposal.

Is it right for you?

A good fit, and when it isn’t.

A good fit if

  • You’re launching, repositioning or raising your prices.
  • You want your brand to work harder across your website, sales and marketing.

Probably not the right fit if

  • You only need a new logo, quickly.
  • You’re not ready to change how you present the business.

Questions

Brand strategy: common questions.

Is brand strategy the same as a logo?

No. A logo is one part of your identity. Brand strategy decides what you stand for and how you talk about it, so your logo and everything else have something clear to express.

We already have a logo. Do we still need this?

Often, yes. If your logo is fine but your message isn’t landing, positioning and messaging are where the value is.

Is the discovery call really free?

Yes. It’s a free 30-minute video call with no obligation.

Who do you work with?

Start-ups, small businesses and established firms, wherever they are. Everything works over video call.
