Based on the info we have gathered from our initial qualifying meeting, we will put together a contract. This contract outlines the terms of engagement, legal policies, project details, cost, and timeline. Once both parties sign, our work will begin once a 50% deposit has been paid. 

 

STEP 3. PRE-BRAND STRATEGY (1-2 WEEKS)

Once logistics are complete (contract and deposit), next will come the Pre-brand strategy session. In this session we will identity your goals and uncover ideal client. A brand audit, data and SWOT Analysis will be discussed addressing the next steps for step 4.

 

Pro-Tip: It is best advised to keep per-conceived concepts and visuals of what the final logo might look like at bay. Our consultancy focuses on answering to your business goals by starting with a wide range of concepts and eventually narrowing down to best fit your business goals and needs. Expect for concepts to change, morph, and evolve immensely until we arrive at the best suitable creative outcome. 

 

STEP 4. STRATEGY: (3-4 WEEKS)

During your brand strategy session we will dig deeper to uncover your brand foundation. We will be discussing what defines your brand, determining your brand’s mission, positioning statement, narrowing down your target audience, structuring your services and products, and brand visibility opportunities. We will be identifying your key users creating detailed profiles for them and documenting their user journeys. (Maximum of three profiles will be created). 

 

We will also be creating a Brand Strategy Roadmap that identifies key pieces of information for your mission statement, value proposition, purchasing funnel, empathy graph (mood board) and visuals for inspiration.

Step 6. REVIEW:

Your thoughts and feedback will determine the next important step, going deep and narrow into your visual concept.
