Before we build anything, we talk.
A paid, 60 minute session with the founder. You leave with direction you can act on, whether or not you go on to work with us.
The fee is deducted in full from your first invoice. If you decide not to proceed, it is not refunded. It buys 60 minutes of the founder's time and the thinking that goes into it, and that holds value on its own.
We would rather say no early than badly.
Book this if
- You are trading already and your brand no longer matches what you have become
- Your budget for the work sits above £250 to 5,000
- You want strategy attached to the design, not a logo in isolation
- You can make the decision yourself, or bring the person who can
- You are planning a launch, a repositioning, or a move upmarket
Do not book this if
- You are pre launch with no revenue and no funding in place
- You are looking for a logo under £250
- You need the work delivered within a week
- You want to compare quotes before deciding whether you want the work
- You are collecting free ideas to brief someone cheaper
Sixty minutes, structured.
Where the brand actually is
Not the pitch. What is selling, what is stalling, and where customers are dropping off. Bring numbers if you have them.
The diagnosis
We tell you what we think is wrong. Sometimes it is the identity. Often it is the site, the pricing, or the order of what you are doing.
Direction
Creative territory, references, and the shape a project would take. Specific enough to be useful on its own.
Scope, cost and timeline
A real number and a real date. If we are not the right studio for it, we say so and point you somewhere better.
What you keep, either way.
A written diagnosis
Sent within 48 hours. What we found, ranked by what will move revenue first.
A creative direction
Territory, references and positioning. Enough to brief any studio, including one that is not us.
A costed proposal
Scope, phases, timeline and price. Held for 30 days.
Payment structure
If the number is right but the timing is not, we set out how it can be staged.
Eight years of receipts.
Work featured in Forbes and The Guardian. Clients across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and the Middle East.

The ones people actually ask.
Why is this not free?
Because a free call attracts people who are browsing, and a paid one attracts people who are deciding. It also means the 45 minutes go on your problem rather than on selling to you. You get a written diagnosis and a creative direction out of it whether you hire us or not.
What if I book and you are not the right studio?
We will tell you on the call and refer you on where we can. The fee still covers the session, but you leave with a diagnosis and a direction you can hand to whoever you choose instead.
Can I get the fee back if I do not go ahead?
No. It is credited in full against a project if you proceed, and forfeited if you do not. That is stated here so there is no ambiguity later.
Do you work with brands outside the UK?
Yes. Roughly half of our work is United States, Canada and the Middle East. Calls are scheduled around your timezone.
I cannot afford the project fee yet.
We finance projects in house. Run the eligibility checker before booking and we will build the payment structure into the proposal.
