Four ways to work together. One methodology behind all of them.
Every engagement uses the Current Brand System™ to find the story your organization can't quite tell yet, then build a clear, converting version of it across every touchpoint.
The scope scales to your stage. The rigor does not. Engagements begin in the five figures and are scoped in a custom proposal.
The Engagements
Institutional
For organizations whose brand needs to match the weight of the work.
When the stakes are high and the stakeholders are many, the brand has to hold up under board review, funder diligence, and public attention. The most comprehensive engagement, built for organizations carrying real institutional weight.
Strategy and positioning. Complete identity system. Website copy and custom development. A full institutional collateral suite. Embedded specialists from a fifteen-year network, phased rollout, and post-launch support.
Typically 10 to 16 weeks.
Growth
For established organizations scaling past their current brand.
When the organization has evolved but the brand hasn't, and the gap is starting to cost you the deals, families, or funders that matter, Growth closes it. Built for organizations with real audiences across multiple stakeholder groups and a brand that needs to meet each one.
Strategy and positioning. Complete identity system. Website copy and custom development on the right platform for your team. Multi-audience messaging frameworks, expanded collateral, and post-launch support.
Typically 10 to 12 weeks.
Founders
For founders and small teams building something that matters.
When you have the idea, the skill, and the early clients, but the brand still looks like you're figuring it out, Founder is the complete strategic system that repositions you to compete at the level you're actually operating at.
Strategy and positioning. Complete identity system. Website copy and custom development. Brand collateral and curated visual assets, with post-launch support.
Typically 8 weeks.
Consulting & Creative Direction
For teams with the infrastructure who need senior creative leadership.
When the team is in place and the capacity exists but the work needs an outside eye, a sharper voice, or someone to hold the line on quality and keep it shipping. A fit for annual reports, campaign launches, messaging audits, RFP strategy, or ongoing creative direction.
Available as a defined project or as retained creative direction.
Available When the Work Calls for It
Two specialties, woven in when an engagement is stronger for them.
Original Production: Photography, video, and brand film that give your work something to say that stock never will, scoped to the project.
Site Visits: Time in the environment where the work actually happens, one to two days on location with your team, followed by a debrief that sharpens the strategy.
Both are available across every engagement and priced in your proposal.
Not sure which fits?
Every engagement starts with a thirty-minute discovery call.
I'll tell you honestly which engagement fits, or whether a custom scope makes more sense.
