Brand strategy consulting

Brand strategy that holds up in the real world

We work with owners and marketing leads to pin down what a brand stands for, who it's for and how it should sound. Then we help you put that thinking into everyday use across the business, not just leave it sitting in a slide deck.

We dig into your market and your customers

Desk research, competitor reviews and conversations with the people who actually buy from you, so the strategy rests on evidence rather than guesswork.

03

We set the positioning and the story

Together we settle on what you stand for, who you serve and the words you use, then write it up so anyone in the business can pick it up and follow it.

04

We help you put it to work

Rollout support follows, from messaging notes for your team to guidance on how the new thinking shows up across channels, campaigns and everyday communication.

Before you book

Questions we're asked before clients ask for a call

Straight answers to the things that come up most often when people first get in touch with us.

How long does a typical brand strategy project take?

Most engagements run between six and twelve weeks, depending on how much research is involved and how quickly decisions get made on your side. We'll set out a realistic timeline before anything starts.

What size of business do you usually work with?

We work with small and medium businesses, usually between ten and two hundred people, plus the occasional sole trader with ambitious plans. If you're outside that range, we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.

Do we need to have everything figured out before we approach you?

No. Most clients come to us because something isn't clear yet. The early conversations are exactly where we help, and you don't need a finished brief to get started.

How do you charge for your work?

We quote a fixed fee for defined projects and a monthly rate for ongoing retainer work. Everything goes in writing before we begin, so there are no surprises partway through.

Will you work alongside our existing marketing team or agency?

Often, yes. We can lead the strategy and hand it over, or work alongside whoever handles delivery. Many clients keep their agency and use us for the thinking behind the campaigns.

What happens after the strategy is finished?

You get the documents and a walkthrough, plus the option of ongoing support. Some clients take it from there on their own; others keep us on retainer for advice as new decisions come up.
