FAQ
What is included in brand strategy and visual direction?
Depending on your package, the project can include brand positioning, audience priorities, value proposition, strategic pillars, voice principles, competitive differentiation, creative territories, visual direction, and activation recommendations.
How do the three packages differ?
The Brand Diagnostic evaluates and redirects an existing brand. The Strategy Blueprint develops a stronger strategic foundation. The Brand Foundation adds creative territories, identity direction, and a practical launch roadmap.
What do you need before starting?
Please provide an overview of your business, target audience, objectives, competitors, current brand materials, desired customer perception, existing research, and the names of the primary decision-makers.
Does this Gig include logo design?
No. The standard packages establish the strategy and visual direction that should guide an identity. Logo design and a complete visual identity system can be added through a custom offer.
What does visual direction include?
Visual direction may include mood-boards, color and typography principles, imagery style, composition, creative references, and examples showing how the brand could appear. The exact deliverables depend on your selected package
Is customer or market research included?
I will review supplied research and conduct relevant secondary and competitive analysis. Interviews, surveys, focus groups, and other primary research are not included unless purchased separately.
Are brand naming, taglines, and copywriting included?
Naming and extensive copywriting are separate services. Selected packages may include voice principles, message hierarchy, and directional tagline ideas, but not a complete naming or copywriting engagement.
Will I receive editable source files?
Final strategy and direction are delivered as a presentation-ready PDF. Organized editable files can be included when specified in the package or purchased as an extra.
What counts as a revision?
A revision is one consolidated round of adjustments to the agreed strategy or visual direction. It does not include a new strategic direction, additional concepts, new research, or deliverables outside the original scope.
Can you produce the final brand assets after the strategy?
Yes. Logo design, brand guidelines, presentation templates, social assets, campaign materials, website direction, and launch toolkits can be scoped as Gig extras or a custom offer.
