Frequently asked questions

Using our SCOUT framework, we address everything from logo and typography through to tone of voice, colour, and brand toolkit to create a complete brand system. Then we extend the execution into practical assets and templates your team can use daily. We often include LinkedIn socials, advert templates, PowerPoint presentations, business cards, company brochures, branded merchandise, anything that helps your business sing.
During our 30 minute Discovery Call which is focused on clarity and fit, we will explore your ambition, what has prompted the need for change, and whether this is a deeper strategic shift or a lighter refresh. Before your branding project begins, we will guide you on what is most useful to bring to the conversations so we can make the most of our time together. It helps to have a clear sense of your problems and goals from the beginning, but during the proposal stage we will also support you in defining these goals and helping you win over key decision makers so that everyone feels onboard from the start.
We use AI thoughtfully as a research and synthesis companion. For example, our Brand Orbit interview framework - to gather and cross-reference perspectives across teams. It enriches our insights, and helps us deliver more informed brand guidance with less guess work.
Every project is different, but most brand design engagements run between 6–12 weeks depending on complexity, the number of deliverables and the size of your team. For early stage businesses building from the ground up, branding projects typically fall between £8k and £18k + VAT. Timelines are usually around six weeks. For established brands with existing traction, audiences or internal complexity, investment scales based on scope. We’ll define that clearly together so everything feels aligned from our first proposal.
We’ve worked across a wide range of sectors listed below, and although we don’t claim to be experts in every category, we are experienced in helping businesses articulate what makes them unique and relevant to their audiences. That's why we ask questions. We've designed for the following industries: Technology, Martech, Cybersecurity, Finance, Fashion, Sustainability, Education, FMCG, Arts, Real Estate, Medical, Defence and Charity.
We can remain a part of your team with brand activation and rollout guidance for as long as it takes to find your feet. If you need help maintaining consistency or evolving your brand over time, our team are here to make that transition smoother for you.
