Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room. It’s what you stand for, what you’re here to do, and how you make people feel doing it.

Imagine having a super clear answer when an investor or partner asks “so what’s your company all about?“ and imagine knowing exactly what you’re trying to say every time you write a new post on your LinkedIn. You get this clarity from defining your brand pillars, strategy, and narrative.

Your logo, colours, and what your business looks like is your “branding”, or “visual identity”, which should be informed by your brand. If you have a logo but you don’t know what your mission is, you have branding, not a brand.

The short answer: if you’re trying to throw together your first pitch deck and site to raise family & friends money, you don’t. There are a lot of good-enough tools you can use to generate nice looking online collateral.

We’re best placed to help founders further along the journey who are looking to go to market, secure that first big partnership, or professionalise after what feels like the first proper cash injection. It’s often here that what we call the “brand gap” appears: the chasm between your technical or scientific credibility, and your brand’s trustworthiness. Amazing innovations fail to find traction because they don’t inspire confidence in customers, and that’s what you avoid when you work with us.

We treat every client with the personal attention they deserve, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. In a nutshell, we can: research and map your landscape, develop your strategy, define your communications pillars and tone of voice, build your visual identity across digital and physical touchpoints, plan your content marketing, setup or sort out your socials, build your website, craft investor relations and pitch materials, and support your founders with their own personal brand strategy. For a full understanding of what’s suitable for you and your company, book a no-obligation 30-minute chat with us.

We know every penny of your seed capital counts. We work on a project basis rather than retainers, and our services are modular, meaning you only pay for what you need and don’t get locked into contracts that make you nervous. We build a scope of work that focuses directly on what you need to achieve your next milestone.

We have a collective 5+ decades of experience in some of the world’s most recognised design and marketing agencies. We’re able to offer six-figure work for pre-seed prices because we run our agency hyper-lean using AI to orchestrate our workflows. Humans only spend time on the work humans are best placed to do: listening to you, thinking and strategising, designing and making. We outsource the project management, admin, and arduous repetitive tasks to Marvin, our AI COO. We don’t have swanky offices and we don’t take lunch on clients’ accounts. You’re paying for decades of real experience, and none of the fluff.

Our payment structure is designed for startup cash flow: we require 50% of the project fee upfront to secure your start date, 25% at the project's midway point, and the final 25% upon completion and handover. We remain at your disposal for 30 days after delivery for micro-adjustments.

Your time is your most valuable asset. Our process is designed to be efficient, collaborative, and clear. We run our agency on an AI orchestration layer that handles 95% of project management and keeps everyone on track.

A representative end-to-end project including brand strategy, visual identity, and a website takes around 6 weeks, with deliveries along the way tailored to your immediate needs. Rush jobs can be accommodated subject to a discussion.

We begin with a discovery call to hear about the problems you’re hoping to solve after which we’ll share our proposal. Once approved, a representative process is:

• Phase 1: Brand Strategy starts with an all-hands kickoff to hear about your story, vision, and product. We then host a maximum of 3 collaborative strategy workshops so your time commitment remains manageable. You’ll receive your strategy book at this point.

• Phase 2: Visual Identity starts with the exploration of up to 5 logos, and 2 creative routes for your brand's new look-and-feel. Once you choose a direction, we refine and develop it into a full identity system, delivering final assets and your brand resource pack along with easy to use brand guidelines.

• Phase 3: Website build starts with a content intake after which we go straight into build for your rapid review. When design and content is locked, we ensure meta-data and analytics are set up before providing the key contact on your team with a training session before handover.

For a pre-seed or seed-stage company, investing in your brand makes the difference in unlocking opportunities like:

• Raise more. Show that you’re serious about capturing customers and media attention by looking the part.

• Launch to the world. Give customers the confidence to buy and recommend your business.

• Secure partners. Give potential partners the confidence that you’re a professional operation that can handle the demands of doing business together.

• Attract talent. In a competitive market, a compelling brand helps you attract and retain the top-tier talent you need to build your vision.

Yes, we focus on helping UK startup founders and early-stage C-suite leaders building technology or science ventures.

We’ve worked in some of the world’s most decorated agencies, but we’re not a generalist shop. Our expertise lies in understanding deeply technical or scientific visions and translating them into brands real people want to interact with. We’ve worked with businesses such as Pfizer, Intel, and Revolut helping to bridge the gap between advance technologies and capturing customers. We’d love to help you too.

The next step is a no-commitment conversation. We begin every new relationship with a 30-minute chemistry call.

This isn't a sales pitch. It’s a chance for you to tell us about your venture, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to achieve. It’s also an opportunity for us to make sure we are the right partner to help you get there.

If we both agree it’s a good fit, we build your bespoke proposal for your review. We’re happy to provide you with a one paragraph overview of who we are and what we’re proposing to do for you to help with internal sign-offs and investor approvals — just say the word.
