01
Discovery
Week 1 · 5 days
A partner-led working week with the founder and head of marketing. We map the competitive terrain, audit existing assets, interview three to five customers, and pressure-test the brief against your actual go-to-market motion. You leave the week with a one-page strategic brief and three directional territories — not a 60-slide deck.
- Strategic brief (1 page)
- Three directional territories
- Audit of existing visual assets
-
02
System Design
Weeks 2–4 · 15 working days
The selected territory is built into a working identity system: logotype, custom or curated type, color, motion language, photographic direction, and a primary touchpoint (packaging, web, environmental — chosen with you in week two). Two partners and a senior designer sit in the room. You see raw work on Tuesdays and Fridays; nothing is presented that hasn't survived internal critique.
- Logotype & wordmark suite
- Type system & color architecture
- Motion language reel
- Primary touchpoint designed end-to-end
-
03
Stress-Test
Week 5 · 5 days
Before anything ships, the system is run through our proprietary 41-point Brand Elasticity Score across 14 touchpoints — packaging mock-ups, wayfinding, social, in-product, environmental, motion, accessibility, small-scale legibility, low-light contrast, and more. The score is delivered to you as a single one-pager. Anything under 34/41 gets reworked before delivery, at our cost.
- Brand Elasticity Score (41-point)
- 14 touchpoint mock-ups
- Accessibility & legibility report

Ship
Week 6 · 5 days
The system is delivered as a fully versioned file package — vector masters, motion source, packaged fonts, guidelines, and a live handover workshop with your in-house team. Every file is re-versionable free, for the life of the brand. Our average engagement does not end at delivery; 41 of our 184 clients have come back for a second system.
- Versioned file package (vector, motion, type)
- Brand guidelines (live Figma + PDF)
- Handover workshop with your team
- Lifetime visual-asset warranty
What senior authorship actually feels like ↓
You can buy a logo file from anyone. You cannot buy the judgment that knows when the type is too quiet, when the color is doing too much, or when a motion reel is papering over a strategy that doesn't exist. That judgment is the only thing we've ever sold — and it's the only thing our clients keep coming back for.
The cheapest way to test that judgment is a two-day sprint ↓
For founders & heads of marketing · Q1 openings
Book a Discovery Sprint — $3,800, scoped in 48 hours.
Two working days with a founding partner. You leave with a strategic brief, a system direction, and a preview of your Brand Elasticity Score. No proposal decks, no discovery calls with sales, no six-week courtship. If we're not the right studio for the engagement, you'll know by Friday — and we keep the brief.
