HOW WE WORK
Four ways in. One is yours.
Four ways in, depending on how far along you already are. Most founders come to us with some of this already built — a logo they like, a deck that half works, a website they'd rather not send anyone to. The tier you want is the one that starts where you actually are, not where you wish you were.
The order matters
Collateral sits on top of an identity. An identity sits on top of a strategy. Build them out of order and you get a beautiful business card for a company that can't explain what it does — which is a common and expensive mistake.
So the tiers below stack. You can enter at any level, and plenty of founders do, as long as the layer underneath is already solid. If it isn't, we'll tell you before you spend anything.
Presentable
2–3 weeks
You've got a look. You just don't have the stuff.
For founders with a logo and colours they're happy with, who rebuild the same deck from scratch every time a client asks.
- Stationery set — business card, letterhead, email signature
- Company profile, 8–12 pages
- Presentation master template — PowerPoint and Google Slides
- One-pager / product sheet template
- Proposal and invoice templates
- Voice snapshot — a one-page record of how you already sound, so every template speaks it
This tier assumes you have a logo, palette and fonts you're confident in. We check first. If they won't hold up under real use, we'll say so before you pay to build anything on top of them — and put the check fee toward Recognisable instead.

Recognisable
4–6 weeks
Work out who you are before anyone builds anything.
For founders who already have execution capacity — an in-house designer, a developer, an agency — but nothing solid to brief them with.
- Positioning and competitive map
- Ideal customer profile and personas
- Messaging framework — one-liner, elevator pitch, 25/50/100-word boilerplates, value propositions per audience
- Voice foundation — audience-derived voice traits with say-this/never-this examples, vocabulary, and your one distinctive edge
- Logo system, lockups, clearspace rules
- Colour and typography systems
- Art direction — photography, illustration, iconography
- Full asset kit — every format, favicon, app icons
- Brand bible tying all of it together

Strategy, identity, website, and everything you hand a client.

The Long Run
12–14 weeks
For founders whose face is the brand.
For founder-led companies where the founder's own voice is the main channel — and the brand has to keep running after launch day.
Everything in The Full Distance, plus:
- Founder voice kit — where the personal brand ends and the company brand begins, your POV, the opinion territories you should own, signature language, a ghostwriting framework, rewritten LinkedIn profile
- Brand prompt pack — system prompts so your team can write on-brand without us
- Live brand portal — hosted guidelines, always current, instead of a PDF nobody opens
- Launch kit — announcement post, customer email, press note
- Sales enablement — discovery script, objection handling, competitor battle cards
- Voice governance — founder/company boundary, voice QA checklist, quarterly audit template, writer onboarding
- 90 days of post-launch support
