What we do

THE WORK STARTS BEFORE THE DESIGN.

We start every engagement the same way: by looking at the whole picture. Your brand, your website, your digital presence, your tools. Before we design a single thing, we make sure we understand what you actually need and why.

Brand + Digital Strategy Audit

Most people trying to improve their brand jump straight to solutions. The Audit is designed differently.

 

Before we recommend anything, we diagnose. We look at your brand, website, and digital presence systematically, without assumptions. What you receive is a clear picture of what is actually holding your business back and exactly what to address first.

What we review

  • Your brand identity and visual consistency
  • Your website messaging, structure, and SEO
  • Your social media presence and content
  • The tools and systems you are currently using

What you receive

  • A written strategy report
  • A prioritized action plan
  • A 40-minute debrief call to walk through recommendations

investment

$500 – $900

Timeline

1 – 2 weeks

Core engagement

Brand + Digital Transformation

At the end of a transformation, your brand, website, and digital presence work together as a system. Everything is built around a clear strategy, so every element has a reason and every decision has a purpose. Depending on your specific situation, that may include:

What you receive

  • Brand identity design (logo suite, color palette, typography, brand guidelines)
  • Website strategy, design, and build
  • Website messaging and copy editing
  • Social media content framework and setup
  • Email marketing setup
  • AI tool recommendations and integration

investment

Starting at $5,500 (scoped after Audit or discovery call) 

Timeline

 8 – 12 weeks

Consistency key

Ongoing Strategy Retainer

Retainer work may include

  • Social media management and content creation
  • Email marketing execution
  • Monthly strategy check-in
  • Ongoing brand consistency review

Minimum commitment

3 months

investment

$800 – $2,500 per month

frequently asked questions

Most clients begin with a Brand + Digital Strategy Audit. It is a focused diagnostic review of your brand, website, and digital presence that gives you a clear, prioritized roadmap of what to address first and why. It is the fastest way to get clarity without committing to a full project. That said, if you already have a clear sense of what you need, we are happy to talk through a full engagement from the start.

The Audit is a diagnostic tool. We review your current brand, website, and digital presence and deliver a written strategy report with prioritized recommendations. It tells you what needs attention and in what order. A full Brand + Digital Transformation is the execution of that strategy, the actual brand identity, website, and digital marketing work. Most clients do the Audit first and move into a full project shortly after.

This is worth a conversation before assuming either way. What presents as a simple facelift is often the same amount of work as a full redesign once we look closely at the structure, messaging, and underlying strategy. We would rather give you an honest assessment of what will actually move the needle than sell you a quick fix that does not hold up. The Audit is the right starting point if you are unsure.

A logo on its own is a graphic. A logo within a full brand identity system is a business asset. Our brand identity work always includes a logo suite, typography system, color palette, and brand guidelines, all backed by a strategy specific to your business. In our experience, a standalone logo without that foundation rarely does what clients hope it will. We are happy to talk through what your business actually needs on a discovery call.

Our Brand + Digital Strategy Audit starts at $500 and goes up to $900 depending on scope. Full Brand + Digital Transformation projects start at $3,500 and are scoped based on your specific needs after an Audit or discovery call. Ongoing Strategy Retainers begin at $800 per month with a three-month minimum commitment.

For most of our clients, we recommend Squarespace. It is intuitive, beautifully designed out of the box, and easy for business owners to manage independently after launch, which means the site you invest in stays current without requiring ongoing technical support.

 

For clients who already have an established WordPress or Wix presence and are on an ongoing retainer, we are experienced in both platforms and happy to work within what you already have.

We build with handoff in mind from the start. Every project includes training so you and your team are equipped to manage and update your site and brand assets independently. We also offer ongoing Strategy Retainers for clients who want continued support after the project closes.

Yes. We work with clients everywhere. Most of our engagements are conducted virtually with no drop in quality or communication. If you are local and prefer to meet in person at any stage of the process, we are happy to arrange that.
