Brand Strategy FAQ
Typically 8 to 12 weeks , depending on the complexity of your market and the number of stakeholders involved. We move efficiently, but we never rush the research phase; that is the foundation of everything that follows.
We provide a detailed timeline during onboarding, and also provide you with a page to track the progress, so you always know exactly where we are in the process.
In short: No.
A logo without strategy is just decoration. To build a brand that actually drives revenue, we need to know who we are talking to and why they should care. We build assets that work harder for your business, which requires the strategic "blueprint" first.
Absolutely. Repositioning requires even more care than launching a new brand because you have existing equity to protect. We audit what is working, identify why growth has stalled, and modernize your identity to reconnect with your market without alienating your current base.
We do the heavy lifting, but we need your brainpower at key milestones. You will be involved in the initial discovery workshops and the approval phases for strategy and design. We handle the research, writing, and design execution so you can focus on running your business.
To ensure the project moves efficiently, we require a dedicated Point of Contact from your team. This person acts as the primary liaison for assets, access, and scheduling, taking full responsibility for coordinating with your leadership and delivering necessary inputs on time so we never have to chase for materials.
Confusion is the enemy of conversion. By clarifying your Value Proposition and giving your sales team a "Messaging Toolkit" , we ensure every pitch is consistent and persuasive. Plus, a premium visual identity instantly builds trust, shortening the time it takes for a prospect to say "yes".
We don't just send a Zip file and disappear. Phase IV includes a Brand Governance Handbook and comprehensive team training, ensuring your staff knows exactly how to use the new assets to maintain consistency for years to come.
For clients seeking guidance for a longer period of time, we can also stay on as your dedicated brand management team after this project.
