The Big Brand Kick-Starter

If you aren’t 100% connected with your brand and its message, it’s just not going to ring true with your perfect client.

We can help you build a dynamic brand that resonates with your perfect client and gives your business the reach that it needs to connect to more customers.

You’re ready to take your business to the next level and for your business to have the branding of your dreams.

Just a dream? Welcome to The Big Brand Kick-Starter.

The Big Brand Kick-Starter is a complete branding, logo design, and website design package designed to uncover your unique visual brand.

We walk you through the entire process of discovering your authentic vision, creating your unique visual brand, and building a professional website – everything you need to attract your dream clients, charge what you’re worth, and start gaining the freedom that owning your own business allows you.

Letting people know what you’re all about takes more than just a ‘pretty facade’. Your business is awesome but if you aren’t 100% connected with your brand and its message, it’s just not going to ring true with your perfect client. You can build a dynamic brand that resonates with your perfect client.

Timeline

All design projects take place during a block of time, with a start date and an end-date (launch date). During that time we both have a series of deadlines to meet to complete the project. Typically, the block of time is a 4-6 weeks for the Branding + Website Design Package (but can vary depending on the scope of the project).

We book a very limited number of projects during that block of time, so spots fill up quickly.
