// BRAND IDENTITY & STRATEGY

When the brand doesn't match the business, you compete on price by default.

Your work is exceptional. Your brand should say that before you do. We build the visual identity, messaging framework, and positioning that earns trust, commands margin, and makes the right first impression — every time.

// THE PROBLEM

The brand problems that cost you deals before you know it.

Brand problems are invisible until they're not — and by the time you notice them, you've already lost the deal, the hire, or the investor.

You compete on price because prospects can't see your value

When your brand looks like everyone else's, price becomes the only differentiator. A strong brand lets you command margin — and win deals before the negotiation starts.

Your brand doesn't match the quality of your work

You deliver exceptional results, but your logo, website, and collateral signal something generic. The gap between what you do and how you look is costing you credibility.

Inconsistent identity across every touchpoint

Website, LinkedIn, proposals, sales decks — all looking like they came from different companies. Inconsistency signals instability, and buyers notice.

Prospects can't tell what you do in 5 seconds

If your value proposition isn't immediately clear, you've already lost attention. Vague messaging forces buyers to do work they won't do — and they move on.

A rebrand stalled or was done without a system

The name changed. Maybe the logo changed. But there are no brand guidelines, no messaging framework, and every new piece of collateral starts from scratch.

Your brand is holding back an acquisition or a raise

Investors and buyers evaluate the brand as a signal of management quality. A brand that looks like a small business makes it harder to command enterprise multiples.

// THE COST OF A WEAK BRAND

Brand isn't a cost. It's a multiplier on everything else you do.

A strong brand makes your ads more effective, your sales cycle shorter, your hiring easier, and your pricing defensible. A weak one forces you to compensate everywhere else — and you can never quite compensate enough.

// WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for businesses that outgrew their brand.

PE FIRMS & PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

The brand is the first thing that signals management quality.

Post-acquisition, the inherited brand is often misaligned with the quality of the business — or the direction you're taking it. We triage the brand fast, establish the identity that supports growth targets, and build the system that makes everything downstream easier.

INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTORS

You've earned the reputation. Now the brand needs to reflect it.

Decades-old identity built for a different era. Generic name, dated logo, no messaging that speaks to the modern buyer. We build the brand that earns trust with new accounts while keeping the equity you've built with existing ones.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

Your work is exceptional. Your brand needs to say that before you do.

Consulting firms, agencies, and professional services companies win on reputation — but reputation has to be earned digitally too. We build the brand that makes the right first impression before you ever get in the room.

ECOMMERCE BRANDS

A great product needs a brand people connect with.

In a crowded market, the brand is what makes someone choose you over the competitor at the same price point — or pay more without thinking twice. We build the identity, messaging, and visual language that earns that loyalty.

// WHAT WE DELIVER

A complete brand system — not just a logo.

A logo without a strategy is just an image. We build the full system — from positioning to pixel — so every touchpoint reinforces the same story.

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Who you are, who you're for, and why you're the only choice. Competitive analysis, market positioning, differentiated value proposition, and the strategic framework everything else is built on.

// OUR PROCESS

Strategy first. Design second. Always.

Every visual decision is grounded in a strategic rationale. We don't start designing until we know exactly who you're trying to reach and what you need them to believe.

01

Brand Audit & Discovery

We audit your existing brand assets, interview stakeholders, research your competitive landscape, and map how your brand is perceived today versus how it needs to be perceived. This phase identifies every gap between your brand and the business it represents.

02

Positioning & Messaging

We define your positioning in the market — who you're for, what makes you different, and why that difference matters to your buyer. From this we build the messaging framework: tagline, value proposition, elevator pitch, and tone of voice guidelines.

03

Visual Identity Design

Logo system, color palette, typography hierarchy, iconography, and photography direction — all grounded in the positioning strategy. We present distinct creative directions and refine into a cohesive visual identity that communicates the right things without saying a word.

04

Brand Book & Rollout

Complete brand guidelines document with usage rules, templates, and application examples. We then apply the brand to your website, collateral, and digital channels — so the rollout is consistent from day one, not improvised over time.

Brand Identity Questions

Brand identity projects typically range from $10,000 to $60,000+ depending on scope — whether it's a full brand strategy and identity system, a focused rebrand, or a targeted messaging framework. Most projects include strategy, visual identity, brand guidelines, and core collateral. We scope every engagement individually and every deliverable is designed to generate a return that exceeds the investment.

A full brand strategy and identity system typically takes 6-10 weeks from kickoff to final brand guidelines. This includes discovery and competitive research, positioning and messaging development, visual identity design, revisions, and final brand book delivery. Focused engagements — like a messaging framework or a logo refresh — can move faster.

Yes — brand evolution is often more valuable than starting from scratch, because you've built equity you don't want to throw away. We start with a brand audit to assess what's working, what's not, and what's missing. Then we build or rebuild only what's needed, preserving the parts of your brand that already resonate while fixing what's holding you back.

A messaging framework defines the words your company uses to describe itself — your positioning statement, value proposition, tagline, elevator pitch, and audience-specific messaging for each buyer type. It ensures that everyone on your team talks about the company the same way, and that every piece of content, sales material, and marketing campaign reinforces the same story. Without it, messaging is inconsistent and off-brand by default.

Yes. Messaging and copy development can be included in a brand engagement or scoped as a standalone project. We write the website copy hierarchy, homepage narrative, service page copy, and core sales messaging. We also provide tone of voice guidelines so your team can write on-brand going forward.

This is one of our most common engagements. Post-acquisition rebrands have specific constraints — speed, buy-in from the existing team, and the need to preserve customer equity while signaling a new direction. We move fast, involve stakeholders appropriately, and deliver a brand system that supports the growth plan and eventual exit.

Our brand guidelines cover: logo usage rules, color palette with hex/RGB/CMYK values, typography system with usage hierarchy, iconography and illustration style, photography and imagery direction, tone of voice and writing guidelines, and application examples across digital and print. This document becomes the source of truth for everyone who touches the brand — internal teams, agencies, and vendors.

Yes — and it's often the most efficient path. When we handle both the brand identity and the website, the translation from brand to digital is seamless. There's no handoff risk, no interpretation gap, and no version where the website doesn't match the brand book. We offer combined brand + web engagements scoped as a single project.
