Frequently Asked Questions

In short, yes. In long, well, yes. It’s super important. Branding means you have a comprehensive, long-term plan for the development of a successful, goal-oriented business. Branding considers your customer’s needs, how it makes them feel, and how you show up and guide them to success. To do this, you need to have a strategy, a message, a design, and a way to share your brand.  It’s not just a new logo, a fresh bit of copy, a cool Instagram profile, or a buffed out website — it’s a strategy, a message, a design, and a way to share your brand.

We develop brands like nobody’s business through creative brand identity, messaging and design.

We do have a lot of experience in the agriculture, food and beverage, hospitality, and CPG industries.

Our ideal clients are willing to take risks, think creatively and are looking for a partner to help bring their brand to the next level.

Most importantly, we work with businesses that:

Understand the need to stand out and have a handle on what makes them different

Are doing and offering really cool stuff in the world

Have their operation in order and have a plan to keep their brand running strong long after we work together

Can stay on track with the project calendar and won’t go AWOL

Understand the value of investing in branding

Need strategy and implementation

For a brand identity project, you can expect things to take 3-6 months.

If your project includes a lot of deliverables and implementation, it could be 6-12 months.

Every business we work with is unique and has a unique set of needs, so our projects are custom priced.

If you are running a business where an appropriate budget for branding hasn’t been set aside, we might not be the best fit at this point in your business development.

To get a proposal based on your needs + goals, visit our contact page to book time with us.

While the final deliverables for each branding project are custom, each one includes a brand strategy, messaging, identity design, style guide, and implementation.

Implementation can include social media strategy, marketing strategy, and/or website.

We’d love that! It’s important to us that your brand stays on track and that you feel like you have the support you need to make that happen. Once we wrap up your initial project, we can chat about retainer options for brand development.

Yep, we do — please visit our contact page to book time with us.

We are a West Coast-based studio that is headquartered in Bakersfield, California. We work with clients all over the United States, Canada, and beyond.

We’d love to, but we don’t do one-off websites. A project with a website deliverable would still go through the full project scope that includes strategy, messaging, and design. Our job is to make sure your website is part of a strategic brand ecosystem, not just hanging out by itself.

Are you sure you just need a logo? Your logo doesn’t exist in a vacuum — it’s part of an overall brand strategy, and it only really works if it’s created in that context. That said… we see logos as part of strategic branding projects, so we don’t do logo-only projects.
