Blocks

Four building blocks, one open at a time. Voice is the one most brands skip.

Four building blocks

The one sentence the rest of the work answers to.

  • Stakeholder interviews and a competitor audit
  • Positioning statement and audience map
  • Brand architecture for products and sub-brands
  • A signed brief both sides can quote
Team reviewing sticky notes on a glass wall

A name you can say, spell, own and grow into.

  • A long list of 200 routes, cut to ten
  • Trademark and domain pre-checks
  • Pronunciation tests in three markets
  • Three final names, each with its story

A system that still works when we are no longer in the room.

  • Logo, monogram and favicon set
  • Type pairing with the licences sorted
  • A palette checked for contrast
  • 40-page guide and a live web version
A large red letter M printed on white paper

How the brand sounds when nobody from the brand is in the room.

  • Tone of voice guide with 60 real examples
  • Words we use, and words we never use
  • Templates for the ten messages you send most
  • A one-day workshop with whoever writes for you

Side by side

Each block can be booked on its own. Most clients take two; the ones who take all four get a single team and one invoice.
