How We Roll

We go where others can’t. Our small size makes us nimble, so we can come up with great big blue-sky ideas and handle details with ease.

 
 

 

Rather than following a strict process, we start where you are, understanding what you’re all about and then developing a unique strategy that will lead you to the results you need.

Gain traction

We always start with a story; it’s truly where the rubber meets the road. Once you know who you are, how you got here, what you believe in, where you’re headed, and who you want to be when you get there, you have the traction you need to go the distance. Every client has a unique tale to tell, and we make sure we understand all of the details so we can create a brand voice and/or visual identity that fits you perfectly.

What to expect: Stakeholder interviews, research & planning, prepare & present Creative Brief & inspirational mood boards, presentation of concepts

Get up to speed

Once we have your identity down, it’s time to take it on the road, metaphorically speaking. This is where we disseminate your unique narrative and visual attributes in print, online, in packaging, and social media…pretty much everywhere you want to be seen and heard.

What to expect: Refinement of chosen concept, develop Brand Standards and Digital Artwork Kit, application to print, interactive, packaging…whatever your project calls for.

Equip for the long-haul

You don’t just create a brand to get attention; you create a brand to develop a long-term relationship with your audience. A brand is more than a story or a logo, it’s the way people feel about and connect with you and your service or product. Our goal is to set you up for success by helping you build a brand that will be relatable, reliable, and relevant for years to come.

What to expect: Continued support as you grow, additional project phases if needed, a fantastic journey with your new brand identity!

Want to ride with us?
Here’s what we ask of you.

You have to want to tell your story. There are thousands of places you can go to buy a logo. We don’t compete with them. We believe a logo is the visual representation of the story you want to tell about the vision you have for your product or service. That’s why the first thing we ask is that all stakeholders on the project be willing to work with us, to ensure every voice is heard and we can craft a brand image that truly resonates with you.

You have to want to be part of the creative process. When you ride in tandem, you pedal together. We work with people who are passionate about their place in the market and are looking for a trusted creative team to join them on their venture. Our process is in-depth, but don’t let that scare you. Time and again, our clients tell us that partnering with us was eye-opening, insightful, and just plain fun. They also say that we tell their story much better than they ever did. We think it’s because we ask  good questions and listen intently to the answers. We also care…a lot.

We’d like you to trust us to do what we do well. We work with experts of all sorts: educators, doctors, retailers, non-profit executives, restauranteurs, and we’re consistently amazed at the knowledge and ingenuity they bring to their roles. Our clients are absolutely the subject matter experts, and we respect their work and their passion. We do our finest work when our partners want to fuse their “best at’s” with ours.
